Photo: Which Kitty? — 2 Comments

  1. Actually, comparing those two moving shots, I think those are the same kitty. I started looking for differences in the stripes (they say stripes can be as unique as fingerprints) but I kept coming up with similarities instead. I think the difference you’re seeing in the banding on the legs just has to do with their leg position and what angle you’re seeing them from.

    If you look at the front left leg, there’s a stripe with an unusual curve to it close to the bottom. On the front right leg, there’s broken stripe close to the paw with a full band just above it – hard to see on the lower picture, but it looks the same to me. Add to that the stripe going from behind the left ear to the left shoulder, and I’m feeling pretty confident that this is the same cat.

    I feel so CSI right now. 😉

    • You may be right. We have seen two cats at the same time in two places, so we KNOW there are two. Walter is more silvery, and Boomer is more tannish in his undercoat, BUT the lighting in the photographs makes it difficult to discern. Boomer doesn’t run as quickly when he sees us, and, of course, Walter has been neutered. Boomer has not.
