This is a photo of my brother’s cat, Tiger. He is 16 years old and not a terribly friendly cat but still quite curious. Considering the fact that he’s an ‘old man’ at this point, it makes total sense. He stays a cautious distance from me at all times. I had to use my telephoto lens to get a decent picture of him because he runs off if I get too close. Tiger has a sibling named Pepper who/that is slightly smaller in stature but similar in disposition. Because I’ve had to dedicate the last few days to assisting with my mom, I’ve had very little time to put my shutterbug skills to work, but at least I managed to provide you with something that wasn’t from my ‘archive’. Anyway, I thought it captured his personality pretty well.

Yes, he looks a bit apprehensive … but like you’ve said, given he’s an “old man”, it is understandable š.
