This is my kitty, Filippo. He just turned 5 years old!
I don’t fancy myself as a pet photographer but he has actually been one of my first victims… ehm, subjects, I mean, when I first started photography. He became part of the family the same day my husband bought himself a Nikon D70 – the one I didn’t know how to turn on… Long journey since then!
I was actually trying to photograph my son, when kitty jumped in the highchair to escape the toddler that loves to squeeze animals.

Remember this little kitten from Our new neighbour? Since she has now become a constant presence around our backyard and learned how to sneak into the house and come ask us for food, we have “adopted” her in a kind of way. We give hee food, scritly outside though – we want to avoid any fights between Filippo and her, and we cuddle her when we have time AND our cat isn’t around :P
We have given her a name, which she responds to now (good girl!), we call her Tina. There’s an explanation for the name, it comes from gatTina (meaning “kitten”-female- in italian). And, boy, is she growing up fast…
