Energy vibrates through her wild eyes.
This is Inky Pinky, when she was still feral, in the process of being tamed thanks to the magic of the very best cat toy, the Cat Dancer. No photo I’ve ever taken has captured the spirit of a cat quite so well. Inky still has very big round eyes but a much calmer energy as a beloved indoor cat at my mom’s house.

You captured her spirit perfectly!
I’m so glad Inky Pinky lives with me now. She has grown into her eyes (mostly) and lives a happy, safe life with the rest of my cat family.
Those eyes just glow. You can see the alertness and energy behind them.
A very sweet story. Pinky is lucky to have such a loving home. She has a beautiful coat!
She really does radiate energy!!! But those green eyes are beautiful!
My youngest cat gets that look sometimes too. We’ve hand raised her since she was 6 weeks old, and the shelter had her for a week or two before that, but every now and then, probably when the moon is full, she forgets that she is tamed now and gets that feral gleam in her eyes. Then five minutes later she is crying to be found because she is in the hallway all by herself, a good 20 feet away from my body.
Priceless!
I am glad she has an indoor home with your mom.
Inky Pinky has beautiful green eyes. I hope she knows that she picked a great human to rescue her!
Perfect photo, perfect six word poem, what a cat…can’t get any blacker than that!
Inky must become a character in a book. Those eyes!!
