The Thinker - Feral Cat Photo of the Day

The Thinker is a famous sculpture, and now it's a feral cat on a bicycle seat...

The Thinker

Since the weather hasn't been helpful for picture-taking, I haven't accomplished much lately. The photo above and the ones that follow are of the feral tom cat I call Handsome Boy, seated atop the bicycle that he calls his own. He's put a hold on my attempts to salvage it; it's his territory now.

He happened to be seated there when I snapped a series of photos for film speed testing purposes. It was just an exercise, really, but he is cute enough to share.
