Socks: Vancouver Downtown Eastside

Socks is a very unhappy cat and she’s giving me the evil look. My job is to “bug her” and have her pay attention to me.

I’m bugging her while she is being “tortured!” One person is holding her very tight, another person is cutting her nails. By “bugging her” she’s paying attention to me and not biting Perl who’s cutting her …

Inkpad, the cat: Vancouver, BC

Inkpad was a stray cat that was found in a back alley of the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. He was scrawny and starving. Lily used only a little bit of ham for Inkpad to get out of his hole and to become an indoor cat.

Why did Lily named him Inkpad? Lily makes graphics with a nib and black ink and it looks like Inkpad rubbed …

Samson The Cat: New Westminster, BC

Samson doesn’t live up to his name. Samson is supposed to be strong, courageous. The keyword here is supposed.

Samson is afraid of almost everything, especially me and my camera with the big lens. So he’s been ‘demoted!’ His current name is just Sam.

Samson is a very old cat, he’s almost 20 years old. He still has most of his …

Sheena was an Abandoned Cat

Sheena is an indoor cat who hasn’t been socialized and cannot survive outside. But her previous owner abandoned her in an alley on the Vancouver Downtown Eastside.

A curious gray tabby checking the world

Many cats, especially when they are scared, like being on people’s shoulders. They feel safe because they are higher and protected by the person.

Actually, I use that position regularly with cats that “refuse to cooperate”. They don’t have the choice, they have to cooperate, they always will check what’s happening around and what’s when I “get” my photos …

Cat Waiting At The Door

This cat wanted to come back into the house but there was nobody. When I passed there, she was already waiting and when I came back about 45 minutes later she was still waiting.

Since the photo was taken just before 6pm, I guess that she must have been waiting for her meal.

One of the problem is that in my neighborhood, there are coyotes …
