This is one of the neighbours cats.. Blotch was out in the street playing ball and this cat stood on the steps in this exact position for well over 15 minutes. It was as if he was frozen in time. Cats can be so creepy...
"Arching of a cats back is a form of showing that the cat is feeling threatened. In the latter case, the arched back is usually accompanied by his hair standing out all over his body, especially on his tail. He may even turn sideways to present an even more impressive profile to scare away a threatening animal. His arch is able to get so high because his spine contains nearly 60 vertebrae (humans only have about 34) which fit together loosely, giving him that incredible flexibility"
What a lovely capture!
