Even after yesterday’s catnip debacle, my human wanted me to pose for some autumn portraits. Something about the light being really good. Since she offered a bribe, I agreed.
Plus this is one of my favorite birdie watching spots. I struck a pose between birds.
I also posed on the bridge, which gets some nice backlighting this time of day, and this time of year. Of course, this required more bribes.
I’ve posed on this bridge so many times I could do it with my eyes closed. Except then the photos would wind up in an outtake post.
I even generously gave her a head tilt. I hope you enjoyed my autumn portraits!

I am a cat lover, and know that cats are beautiful. But, it astounds me, just how pretty you are!
Lovely portraits, Summer.
Dear Summer, all beautiful. The head tilt, Meeeoowwww. Gorgeous, hugs and purrs
Beautiful Autumn portraits, dear girl. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with bribes in exchange for some behavior or other. I got dad to bribe me with treats before he shoots my yucky medicine into my mouth. It’s worth it.
Very cute shots of you, as always. XO
You did purrfect!
Dearest Summer,
You worked so hard for your favorite treats!
Love the tilted head; you’re very good at it.
Hope the painters will soon be done with the work.
We had the painters on Monday and Wednesday for the 2nd coating in our Rose Suite living and bedroom.
Job is done, now the cleaning up and putting the rug back and everything else.
Today we drove the 2 hours one-way to Atlanta for stocking up on food. Back by 4:00 PM and all kitties awaited us on the driveway… they KNOW.
Hugs,
Mariette
Lovely portraits. Summer.
They are all lovely, Summer, but that last head tilt is exceptional!
Purrs,

Treats are a good bribe…any time!! And yes, a new nip garden for sure.
Maybe during this ‘off season’ all the old soil should be removed and the bricks or liner scrubbed to clean them of any remaining bug eggs…else a new brood of nip killers could resume.
Summer, I do like your poses and head tilt!
Your person is right about the light because you look pawsome 🙂
Purrs, Julie
Excellent poses!!!
Those are purrfect portraits Summer, you deserved lots of treats for those poses!
You don’t look like you had just learned your catnip
garden was gone. You look like everything is just
fine. The treats always help right? A very agreeable
cat…..
Those are so pretty and I love that head tilt sweet Summer!
Those are very nice, Summer.
Purrfect poses <3
