Suspicious Orange Cat

Somebody's watching me! Well, using a telephoto lens doesn't make me invisible. Cats like this can't really be photographed close-up: he's a feral and not inclined to hang out near people. So a long lens is a must. But he still notices me.

Taking the lead, Skeptical Cat Suspicious Cat, the tom, investigates the strange eye pointed at them from afar...
Generally speaking, if something is looking at you - it can't be a good thing.

Feral Cat Photo of the Day: Suspicious Cat

This isn't a great photo but I've had a hard time getting a picture of this kitty, which I've named Suspicious Cat. He's a young Tom, and scared of his own shadow.

I had to snap fast and a tenth of a second later he had disappeared.

Suspicious Cat seems to be getting enough to eat. It appears that there may be something wrong with his eyes; probably feline herpes, which is very common in the feral cat colony. He seems to be getting along despite his infirmities.

Some vets with whom I have dealings have a policy regarding feral cats: If one is brought in and it tests positive for certain diseases, they euthanize it (a strange word, it means good death ...yeah, like that's a good thing). Anyway, so I always worry about taking in guys like this when he isn't suffering as far as I can tell.
