Okay! Fine shot, Ann... Being a cat person, I appreciate how lucky getting precisely that pose must be... A serendipity is, it displays a 'fault' I'd have trouble describing, but here's proof it's not just me. See all the faint patches, made up of very light horizontal hash marks, like tiny claw

That's a great shot, Ann! I had a cat that announced his wish to enter and exit the house exactly the way those two kittens are. Needless to say, we went through a lot of screens, and had lots of bugs in the house near the end of each screen-cycle. g As far as the dog-lovers/cat-haters go,

All but the cat-on-balcony shot were shot on a tripod, and I have at least a couple different exposures of each. I'm not happy with the way the red bricks photographed in any of them. The only detail I'm getting is the contrast of shadows, and the occaisional lucky just-at- the-right-angle
