He is one of the “Cats of University Heights” and beloved in the neighborhood. Pepto often regards me, approaches with a meow, and keeps on moving. He has things to do and no time for attention.
But today, rarely, he asked for some, and I gave generous pets. After we parted, I stopped aways off and watched him chew grass and soak sunlight. He clearly would soon cross the busy street, and I wanted to make sure he could do so safely.
I started carrying Nikon Zf with NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens attached; Pepto presented portrait possibility. The Featured image is close cropped from a maximum zoom. Vitals: f/8, ISO 250, 1/250 sec, 200mm; 5:42 p.m. PDT.
