Big Face Cat

It's not very uncommon to encounter friendly cats on the street in southeast Portland neighborhoods. You can get a few good pettings in just on your way to the penny market.

So the streets are teeming with cats, why get so excited about one in particular?

When I see this cat, I get the same feeling that Greek mortals wandering the woods would get when they came upon Artemis washing her divine box in a calm pool of spring water by the moonlight.
The above image is from my first encounter with this fantastic forrest whitaker looking beast.

Here he is, the gettin a scratch.

In the end I think I fell out of favor with him. Gave him too much unwanted attention I guess. Such is the life of an extraordinarily cute house pet.
