A nice big kitteh, resident in the Henry Doorly Zoo, Omaha, Nebraska. He did not mind visitors at all.

I have been messing around with Affinity photo lately, It seems to be a decent raw converter. It has a very good noise reduction capability.

Love this pic. I just started working with affinity photo...seems like it’s going to meet my editing needs.

The pedestal is supposed to be a small bird bath, but I bought it to elevate the big flowerpot and hold some water for it. Annabelle had other ideas.

"Domesticated cats have been confirmed to prey on native animals, and surveys of catches have regularly occurred. In 2016, 29% of Australian households had a domesticated cat.

Feral cats are one of the major invasive species in Australia and have been linked to the decline and extinction of various native animals. They have been shown to cause a significant impact on ground-nesting birds and small native mammals. Feral cats have also hampered any attempts to reintroduce threatened species back into areas where they have become extinct, as the cats have simply hunted and killed the newly released animals... Cats in Australia have no natural predators except dingoes and wedge-tailed eagles, and as a result, they are apex predators where neither the dingo nor the eagle exists."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cats_in_Australia

As cat lovers, we had no idea how destructive and damaging cats were (in Australia) until we actually got cats. We try and be responsible and always keep them in over night and lure them inside before dusk and never let them out till after 9am (if possible, it's hard with small children running in and out of the house). Keeping them locked up 24/7 is just not feasible with our house design, and also feels a little cruel as well.

The image above shows our female cat catching what really is the largest meal she ever manages, a skink. I wish I could say the same for our ginger tabby who is an absolute killing machine...

Perhaps our cats days are numbered. We have official reports of three dingoes near our land, which have also seemed to have driven away the 'roos from the neighbouring national park. The park rangers are hoping that when camp sites reopen that this will drive the dingoes further back and signal the return of the roos. Time will tell...
