Before we collected Eugene, we were asked if we\u2019d be prepared to take Ginger too. It seems that older black cats, and black cats in general, are hardest to home. One of the reasons, we heard, is that they are too difficult to photograph. So, here she is, snapped with my phone. Is it perfect? No, it\u2019s not quite in focus. Does it say, \u201ccat\u201d? Yes, it does. Was it difficult? Well, anyone who has ever pointed a camera at a cat will know that they better push the shutter button quick else that cat\u2019s going to come over and butt the camera before you know it. Apart from that, no it wasn\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597-767x1024.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597-1150x1536.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/mostlycats.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/img_2597.jpg 1498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ginger is Eugene\u2019s mother.
