Thanks Shu, Peter and Mary Anne.
Shu, you asked what colour he is. Bruce is technically a grey tabby and white (not a grey and white tabby??). Apart from some yellow in the eyes and some pink on the nose, paws and inside the ears, he is pretty much a monochrome cat. I converted this to b&w because the background is yellow. Regards, Michael

My apologies to Bruce. It was really a typo; I just accidentally hit the "s" key; really.

Thanks all. My doubts about another cat image stem from having entered a lot of cat images in these challenges over the years, plus there is alread a knockout cat image in Exhibition. No big deal though. Er..... Peter .... this is Bruce and he has his paws firmly on the ground (or the kitchen table in this case) :)
