When he first started going outside he would show up at the door
urgently demanding to be let in ... so he could use the litter box! I
think he has figured that one out now...

Great action shots, Mark. Maybe I'm a bit dof, but how do you have
indoor cats & an indoor/outdoor cat under the same roof?

Thanks, Frank. My mother used to volunteer at the animal shelter in
Iowa (where she lived) and in 2010 started talking about a kitten that
she really loved but did not want to adopt because he would outlive her.
I urged her to go ahead and adopt him and ultimately promised to take
care of him if she couldn't. Her fear was sadly realized and a couple of
years ago Jazz became part of the family. My mother kept insisting that
he was a wuss and could not handle being outside - even though he
managed to catch a kill a a starling on the 2nd floor balcony at her
house. (He put the dead bird on the oven - smart cat!) Last summer we
made him an indoor/outdoor cat because of too much conflict with the two
older females in the house. He loves it.

I think it's a wonderful series. I agree with Bruce, looks like
motion blur which I'm fine with. Very dynamic. The last photo, nice
and sharp with those big "hunting eyes" really sets it all off
beautifully.
Lovely tabby, btw! Looks like lots of wild left in him.
Cheers,

My cat and I were hanging in the yard on this first truly warm day so
far this year and decided to try for some action shots. Didn't quite
pull it off though - not sure if I just blew it, or the K3 and DA 17-70
kept back focusing, or if the cat was too fast. He gave me three tries
though and then light was too dim... Definitely something I will be
working on in the days ahead...
This is sorta like sports photography - any advice about how to get the
eyes sharp and the tailed blurred (instead of the other way around)
would be appreciated.
