Dave's first FF photo, enjoying some Dreamies, sadly even after many years he's still very nervous of people.

Nikon Z6 + Nikkor s 24-70mm @ 1/50 f4 ISO100

He’s been around for approx 7 years now, but sadly he’s not a cuddly puss and will barely stand to be stroked. I get hissed at regularly when he has had enough strokes but the claws have never come out, and he often scents me with head and tail while he moans about the slow service, so I think he is conflicted about human contact!

I could swear I read somewhere cats are mammals
and not reptilians! :P :P :P

Good portrait of a cat warily considering one of those great two-legged providers of food and comfort  :) ;)

I have to say, Mike, I’ve never before come across a cat named Dave!   ;D

Good handheld camera operating at 1/50th!.  I was wondering when/if Dave The Cat might make an appearance here.

Bill, in "cat speak", these providers are known as servants.  LOL

(Whereas, dogs regard them as their owners.)

Thank you everybody!
Hugh is absolutely correct dogs have owners, cats think you are beneath their dignity but they put up with you because require the servants to provide food!

He was named by my neighbour Julie, and for a long time she catered for his needs, but she got a new puppy, Dave didn’t like that and decamped to me, needless to say I didn’t get a choice! :)
