Today's HAPPY PHOTO This week I focus on our boy Toulouse. He is a rescue tabby with a good if mischievous nature (he teases his older sister!) This is a closeup through our deck fencing, he sat still and I only had to lighten and sharpen him a bit! #todayshappyphoto #catsofbluesky

This is handsome tuxedo Thomas. I used a preset called Silent Watcher from Luminar Neo that deepens the colour and adds a vignette! #luminarneo #preset #catphotography #todayshappyphoto #tuxedo #goldeneyes #catsofbluesky

Teddy is one of our tuxedos, and is posing here in the New Zealand summer sunshine. He takes a lovely cat photo as he is a tuxedo and he is beautifully lit (always your best black cat photo bet - good light!) #catsofbluesky #tuxedocats #cats #photography #todayshappyphoto

Tabby cat kitty loafing on a pile of green leaves with a textured tree bark behind him.

Toulouse enjoying life in the garden here in New Zealand. We have since tidied away a lot of the more invasive honeysuckle. Love the stuff but it was getting a bit much around our cabbage tree!! #catsofbluesky #newzealand #tabbiesofbluesky #catphotography #todayshappyphoto
