July 7 2009:
My First Feline Face

view map

East Winterslow, Wiltshire

I must confess I would love a cat like this just so it could provide me with a PAD when I have nothing else to photograph!

I found this little puss at a sculpture park which I visited today. I can't post any other photos from the day yet as the people have a strict photography policy and I'll need to get them vetted. And it was only because I was in a group visit that I could use a camera at all!

Aww, I love it!!! Did you blur the edges or is it shallow DOF shot with macro?

I really like the look of the cat and the composition of the picture. Good capture!

My cat Isabella aged 7 looks exactly like this. She loves to snuggle up in or on my bed to sleep with me. She isn't the friendliest of cats but I still love her very much. We have 3 cats & life wouldn't be the same without them.
I love cat photos, thank you for posting.

I think a cat would give you lots more than just a photo op, especially one as pretty as this.

Lovely cat portrait! Yes, they are very good for emergency PaDs, but also excellent company. I'd definitely get one if I were you.
