Camera Critters no.1

I was just wondering what would be the perfect time to post the-crazy-cat-chasing-for-a-fly-and-the-subsequent-result, when I got an invitation for Camera Critters . Thanks, Misty!
Have a great Sunday, everybody!
PS: for the picture yesterday, yes, you were all right: it's a train wash! It was the first time I have seen such a thing. Picture taken on the way from Cluj to Ploiesti, Romania.
Soooo...the cat story... We were in the study, working on the computer. When I say "we" I mean Peter, the cat, and I. All of a sudden, he jumps from behind my screen (his favourite place if I work), and starts running. I jumped for my camera too, expecting some action. Oh, my, if I only knew the result...
After waiting for a while, and me being bored, since there was no action.... he 's up! Oh, wow, motion , action, great shots, hubby will be thrilled to see this!But I didn't see this coming! Peter hanging on my (hubby's!) favourite curtain!!!The result? Take a look! Hubby's reaction: "Peter, you, Miststueck!"... but nothing more :)....
PS: hubby has no clue about these photos... shhhhhhhhhhh! And no, Peter did not catch the fly in the end :))!

  10. Ohhhhh Noooooo! It's a horrible shame when something gets ruined and you didn't even catch what you were after ;-( My puppy chews/eats everything... nothing is safe around her! These are great action shots you got, but I'm sorry about your curtain.

    Great post!

  11. Is it horrible that I'm giggling. I mean, because i've been there. The "in the air action shot" is the best.

    My critter is here if you want to check him out.

  15. Oh, no! All that destruction and no fly caught. What a sad ending. lol I love watching a cat go on the attack like that (but, not when pretty curtains are involved).
