The shelter where I volunteer had a special low adoption fee throughout February, and since I’d been considering adopting a cat, I took that as a sign it was time to get one.

I’ve never had a cat before, so it’s been a learning experience for him and me. As the pandemic has greatly reduced my other daily activities, it means that the kitty and I are together almost all day every day.

He loves attention and is comfortable in front of the camera, and taking photos counts as giving him attention, so when the light is right, I do so. He’s got a knack for striking cute poses, and sometimes almost seems like he’s mugging for the camera.

Because his coloring lends itself well to black & white, and because removing color also keeps the background from distracting the eye, I’ve converted many of his photos to B&W.

So here it is: Monochrome Mikko Mania!

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
