Toffee and the butterfly

The weather, though somewhat dreary, is still quite mild.
Hence this butterfly made an appearance this afternoon, much to the delight of an inquisitive Toffee.
We denied Toffee the pleasure of torturing the butterfly and opened the window so it could safely escape.

"Torturing? Meh? I just wantz to... playz with it a little, that's all!"
I like the pose that you've captured here, particularly the elongation of his neck and extension of his paw as he stretches up. Both take it beyond the feel of a static shot.

Ooh, the hunting instinct is fully switched on :o) The weather might be dreary, but this looks like the height of summer!
