Well, my first cat Bambi did that to me once - held my finger in her mouth with sufficient pressure to hold and refused to let go so I went in with my mouth and held her paw with my teeth! She had this shocked look. Total disbelief. She let go of my finger. The look said "What! You did that to me? You are my dad - you cant do that!". That look was priceless. If only they could talk.
She has been gone a long time. This incident was probably 21 years back. She was my first cat. She taught me Cat. Before that I thought that I was a Dog person and so I needed to hate cats! Surprise - surprise! Things your "other" family members teach you...
This is an old picture I took with my Canon A510 P&S 9 years ago. Kittens name was Mars, and he's playing with my cousins hand. I know they are cute and fluffy and playful, but I would keep my face away from those sharp little claws
Mars is gone too. He was a free cat.
This is the last picture of him I took last year.

I have been trying to tell our adopted cat that best friends don't bite your fingers, I will have to make sure he doesn't see this!
Excellent shot.
Lots of other excellent shots too, waterdonkey and Dustin in particular.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Graham.

Please excuse the number of photos and quality here as some of them are quite old. I'm in a reminiscent mood today and am missing my old best friends so thought I would share some of them with you..my first real post on here too
This first one is Harry, he only made it to his second birthday. He was too adventurous for his own good. A very lovely boy and a real character.. This was taken a long time ago when digital cameras were quite new things..

This next one is Jin, he is still around but lives with my ex-wife now. Jin actually means silvery in Japanese which seems to suit him quite well.. He's slightly bigger now! He's a Weimaraner if you don't know..

Next is Thomas, he was the most loving cat I have ever met and I've had quite a few over the years. He really knew how to give you a good cuddle.
p.s. My stomach isn't nearly that large anymore!

He was a nice subject to photograph..sadly he died just over a year ago. He made it to a good age which is something, but I am getting upset now just looking at him.. :'( If you had a bad day he would always make you forget about it, I'm sure he knew what I was thinking and feeling. A real loss..

My new best friend, and totally bonkers 1 year old kitten. She's called Ella and is a British Shorthair silver tabby.

She has expensive tastes like my other half... but she eats all the flys and spiders in our house which is great ;D

Pets are not like a member of your family. Pets are a member of your family.
Sorry for your loss.
