Today, I’d like to introduce you to Fritz. He’s our cat. Born in late April 2010 in our kitchen. He is the youngest of his siblings, but the biggest from the birth. Out of his 3 sisters, only the oldest is also still with us. The other 2 moved to an other family in summer 2010 when they were a few months old. These were the first of the four kittens which ate cat food and didn’t drank mother milk anymore.
Their mother was less than a year when she became pregnant by accident. According to her habit, we guessed, she was born in summer 2009. She became only about 1 years old and died as a result of an accident with a car at a Saturday night in mid September. Luckily, the kittens were already old enough to survive alone (with our help). The first 2 girls were black, just like their father and the 2 younger kittens were tabby, just like their mother.
The first-born kitten was the smallest from the beginning and is still quite small. So, she got the name Petite-Fleur (little flower). The second got the name Felina, derived for the latin name for cats: Felidae (Felis silvestris catus). The third got her name from the very prominent “M” on here forehead: Mchen (little M). And, the youngest was Fritz. He also has the “M” on his forehead, but less distinct than in his elder sisters fur.
This is my contribution to Monochrome Madness organized by Leanne Cole. This week we have a themed competition, because it’s the first week of a month. The theme is “cats” or at least “pets” if cat is not possible. Look at here site on Thursday (Australian time), to see many more monochrome images created by many other talented photographers from all over the world.
Take care!
