Portland Wedding, Portrait and Lifestyle Photographer // K. Miller Photographs

All right, I give up!

It’s the middle of the week and I’m already giving in to an early Caturday. My friends got a 1-year old Torbie the other week and she is as photogenic as she is anti-social.

I got to meet her on Sunday afternoon and couldn’t stop taking photos of her. This one’s my absolute favorite– I mean, she’s smiling!

She also doesn’t have a name yet, so any suggestions are welcome. She came home as “Bleach,” which we all agreed was funny but also the worst name ever for a pet. All words preceding that in the title are examples of our brainstorm. Although I do know there is interest in naming her simply, “Torbie,” given it’s about the funniest word ever.

Hey Torbie! C’meeeere, Torbie! Tst-tst-tst!

Like any good cat, she loves her laser lights…

And her feather toys…

But she loves the window the most.

BBC-TB is a Torbie, which is a Tabby and Tortie mix.
She’s ~1 year old and lives with Renee Lawson and the Justin in the NW Alphabet District.

    ahhh she’s gorgeous! I wouldn’t have been able to wait until Caturday either, I don’t hold it against you!

    I practically lose my mind every time a friend gets a new cat…which really isn’t nearly often enough!

      Seriously! I wish all my friends had cats! And I’ve actually been losing MY mind a bit this week because Chris’s boss just adopted two adult cats and we’re going to set up a little shoot with them soon. Their names are Howie and Sam and they are BIG boys! Can’t wait.

    Look at that happy-as-a-clam Torbie. It’s obvious she just hates people. :)

    I dunno, as far as names, she looks like a “Mildred” to me.
