Born to be wild...

Lovely photo looks inquisitive.

Crikey ! If I'd had a few more drinks, I'd have mistaken it for a Black Panther !!! Lovely photo Uma.

So did I muddy, it is so sleek and it looks very big. Stunning cat.

Great photo Uma :-))
Is this your land ?
You don't take her out for a walk do you ? ;-)

Thanks everybody!
Morgana, you are right, he is very inquisitive! And he always pokes his nose into everything! :)
Muddywalters, he is a real black panther! ...but a very little one! :)
DD, in 2006 Umka was 3 years old. And he was not very big. Now he is 6 years and became really big! Love his black colour!
Yes, Louise, it's a land near my city where I live, but it's not my own. We lived in small flat and Umka was an absolutely "home-stayed" cat, has never been out of doors since he had come to our door. And when we moved in a new house, he became an absolutely "out-of-doors" cat. :) Our small garden is his territory.

TT, many thanks! I've never had a dog, but love not very big short-haired dogs like Jack Russell Terriers. But my husband love big dogs very much! And that's the reason why we don't have any...:)

Look like a Puma on the prowl.

Yes, Theoldgunner, he is a hunter! :)

Beautiful cat, reminds me of my boy.....

=^..^=

Interesting explanation about the dogs Uma...
I understand now :o)
My dogs are not very big....Lol.
Lovely photo of Umka !

He's beautiful Uma, and looks quite at home there :o)

Thanks, Healerwitch. Love him very much...

TT, love your dogs! They are so beautiful and look so happy!

Thanks, Hywel! Umka liked that place very much, but at first he was very frightened. :)

Uma.. thanks :o)

:o) to TT...

He's very lovely

Thanks, Pamd!

Beautiful cat Uma :~)

Many thanks, Sue!

He's lovely Uma. Cats choose you not the other way about so I reckon you are very fortunate. In Scotland we believe ??? that a black cat crossing your path is very lucky. Thank you for letting us see him.

Thanks, Madaboutplants! Yes, we are very glad that this cat came to us. We were not going to have any pet while living in a flat, because there was very little room in it. But Uma didn't ask us a permission to come in! :) Just came in and went straight to the kitchen for some food. We couldn't let him go...He was so cute.
In Ukraine, however, a black cat crossing your path is not lucky, but I believe than any animal cannot be bad...only some people...

How true that is Uma ! My cat also adopted me. He used to live at a house down the road but decided he wanted to live with me and moved in on Christmas Day !! Best present ever ! lol :~))

Lol, Sue! Yes, think it was the best one for you!

He is beautiful - our cat also arrived at our place when he was only about 5 weeks old and has been with us now for about 13 years...not good luck for a black cat to cross your path in NZ but????

I think we're all lucky to have been chosen by them .. no matter what colour they are ! lol :~)

Thanks, Judz!
Agree with you, Sue!

Ohh Uma, he looks like a black panther (small but perfectly formed!) and his coat is so glossy - my two girls would definitely by swaying around this gentleman!! :0)

Thanks, Busylizzy! The gentleman sends "Miaow" to the ladies! :)

Beautiful Cat
Merry Xmas Uma

Thank you, Delbert! And Happy Christmas to you and your family!
