February Cat of the Month Wallpaper: Old Gizmo

At around 16 years old, Gizmo is  a senior citizen among feral cats. He's a peaceful old guy and, since this picture was taken, I have brought him indoors. The feral life is hard: You're always cold and/or wet and/or scared. He deserves a peaceful retirement.

The calendar wallpaper above is in the 16x10 ratio, like you find on Macbooks, iMacs and MS Surface tablets and many others, but I have the wider HD 16x9 format in the link below, along with  4x3 "TV" ratio and TWO mobile versions: One for phones and another for tablets! One of them will fit your computer or mobile device, for sure. Here's the link:

Download Cat of the Month Wallpaper Photo Calendar

For Windows 10: Download the Cat of the Month anywhere (just remember where you put it!). Go to that folder, right-click the image and select "Save as desktop background..."

For Mac: Save the image of your choice, go to Settings/Desktop,  Screen saver/pick the your kitty as your wallpaper.

Mobile: Save to Camera Roll, Go to Settings, Wallpaper, and select the cat of the month as your wallpaper and lock screen.

Some examples of aspect ratios:
Wide/HD/16:9 - 1024×576, 1152×648, 1280×720, 1366x768, 1600×900, 1920×1080, 2560×1440 - HDTV
Wide 16:10 - 1280x800, 1440×900, 1680x1050, 1920×1200 - Macbooks,  iMacs + MS Surface etc
TV 4:3 - 640x480, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x1152 etc. - older monitors and laptops, mostly
The size shown in italics above is the actual image size that I've linked to, but as long as you pick the right ratio it will look GREAT on your monitor using "Stretch" or "Fit to screen" as your option when you set an image as your wallpaper.

Thank you so much for sharing and supporting these beautiful feral cats. Because of you, good things happen.

I appreciate comments and questions. So please comment and share!

Old Calico Tabby

Yes, our ancient calico-tabby feral cat is still around. She's pretty old, and here I am interrupting her sun nap. And we have had so much rain and so little sun lately... making this interruption extra-unforgivable.

Alone

Probably the oldest cat in the feral colony, certainly the oldest tortie cat, OT has been spending a lot of time away from the colony lately, keeping to herself. Generally speaking, I would say that this is not a good sign. Her age is getting to her. She wants to be alone. She's tired of the rat race, so to speak. And I guess we all feel like that, sometimes.

We love Old Tortie, and we wish her the best. Sometimes, this is just how life really is.

Old Tortie Cat Nap

A senior citizen of the feral cat colonies, Old Tortie has always been pretty quiet and she mostly keeps to herself. Even at feeding times, she tends to hang back and wait for the leftovers... not that this is has limited her girth in any way. :)

In any case, she seems pretty contented with her life. She eats and sleeps and stays out of trouble. When you're a feral cat, what more could you ask for?

March Cat of the Month Wallpaper: Old One-Eye

Our special boy for March Cat of the Month is Old One-Eye, an aging resident of the feral colony. One-Eye hasn't been feeling well lately and I don't know how much longer he will be with us, so this is the time to enjoy and appreciate him.
The wallpaper above is for HD desktops, but you can choose your own best fit below. You should pick your wallpaper based on the kind of device it's for, or your monitor's aspect ratio, not specific sizes. Everything can be stretched of squeezed to fit but it's important to have the right ratio so it won't look weird when that happens.

Wide/HD 16:9

Wide 16:10

Older 4:3

Phone

Tablet

I just took this photo today, but like last month, the weather doesn't seem to fit! Our weather has been... weird, lately.

For Desktop and laptop computers:

Use the links above to pick the size ratio that matches your monitor. Now, I know that many people don't know what display size they have on their monitor - it's okay. The first two are wide monitors. If you have a wide monitor and one image doesn't look quite right, try the other one. The third version is for the older analog tv type displays. We still have a few of them.

Some examples of aspect ratios:
Wide/HD/16:9 - 1024×576, 1152×648, 1280×720, 1366x768, 1600×900, 1920×1080, 2560×1440
Wide 16:10 - 1280x800, 1440×900, 1680x1050, 1920×1200
Old TV 4:3 - 640x480, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x1152 etc.
The size shown in italics above is the actual image size that I've linked to, but as long as you pick the right ratio it will look GREAT on your monitor using "Stretch" or "Fit to screen" as your option when you set an image as your wallpaper.

Click on the link to the image of your choice to see the full size version, then right-click on it (one-button Macs, use CONTROL-Click).and select "Set as Desktop Background".(Firefox) / "Set As Background" (Explorer) - This also saves the image to your computer. Using Firefox, it will usually look best if you use the options "Stretch" and a black background, like this:

The easy right-click desktop wallpaper method works with Safari, Explorer and Firefox. Many versions of the Chrome browser make it a little harder: Right-click and select "Save image as..." Remember where you saved the file. Then go to your desktop, right-click, select the "Desktop" tab, click "Browse" and navigate to the place where you saved this file. Select the file and click OK.

Tablets and Phones

Just pick what you have, a tablet or smart phone version... tap on the link above. When the image loads, tap and hold on the image until the menu pops up. Select "Save," "Save to camera roll" or "Save to library."  Once you have the image, go to your Settings app, select "Wallpaper" and choose new wallpaper from your photo library. That's it! Set your Cat Of The Month as  your lock lock screen too! :)

Tortie Cat Face, Up Close

Beautiful, shy Old Tortie cat, a long-time fixture among the local feral cats. She paused momentarily before running away, so I captured this photo. She's pretty old for a feral cat - I'm not sure how old but older than one would expect. She's still beautiful, though ...at least to me.

Old Tortie Girl

She's been around a long time. You can see one ear is clipped and she's gotten a little chubby over the years - but that's really nice to see on a feral cat.

Ol' Tortie Girl has almost gotten tame over the years. Not quite, but enough to where she will come up to me to ask for food... and not leave until she gets it.

In a feral cat colony like this, nobody is here forever. Come to think of it, none of us are here forever, or even the amount of time we were expecting. I feel sad when we lose cats I know and I will definitely feel sad when Ol' Tortie Girl is gone. She's not a pet, but she is a friend.
