Bluebell's funny cat picture.

I am being miserable.
Hi,
This is Bluebell one of my son's cats. He emailed me the photo some time ago but I did not use it as I thought it was too dark. Well after much scratching of my head (and getting splinters in my fingers,) I've finally figured out how to lighten it up.
She is called Bluebell because of her striking light blue eyes, not that you would know that from this picture. The photo was snapped with my son's cell phone, maybe that's why the color is a little off.
My son and his girlfriend (affectionately) refer to Bluebell as 'ol' misery guts', because she does tend to want to be left alone much of the time. She is the oldest cat in the house and maybe resents the new feline additions to her territory (Marble and her
kittens. )
I usually find that if I approach the old lady gently, she will let me stroke her and sometimes even purrs away. Bluebell is not usually bad tempered with me, maybe it is just two old misery's together :-)
In the photo though, she does look rather unapproachable and it looks like she has grown herself a mustache! But in the real world she is a stunning looking cat, a puffed up ball of fluff with some imposing markings. Hope you enjoy her funny cat picture.
