‘Evil’ Higgins
January 16th 2008 21:00
I showed this photo to my workmate, Nim. He said “That is evil”. Really? I can see from his cat-hating point of view that Higgins does look diabolical. He’s so dark and his eyes seem to see right through you. But to me, he looks as handsome as a prince, with those big yellow eyes of his. He can gaze at me like that any time.
Speaking of which, I’ve heard that cats don’t like people looking at them. Maybe that’s true for the majority of them but not in the case of Higgins and Miggins. I can look at them all day long and they let me. Higgins, however, doesn’t like being filmed or photographed. The moment I get a camera out, he seems to know something’s up and will turn his head away from the camera. It’s so hard to get good footage of Higgins. Some days I really have to keep trying before I get a good photo or clip of him so I’m glad I’ve got this snapshot of him.
Funnily enough, the camera doesn’t bother his more timid brother, Miggins. Miggins is normally the first to flee when anything out of the ordinary happens but point a camera at him and he will co-operate as if I had put cat food in front of him.
