Cats The Requisite Cat (Kitty) Photo thread

James, I really like that black and white one, too. The blurr adds to the dreamlike quality for me.

Pavel, I didn't notice the background either - all I see are those eyes!!

Peter, I'm glad to know that Haruki is right at home.:D

It appears to me that this requisite kitty thread is turning in to one of the most artistic threads around.

Beautiful, dreamlike and intense image, Pavel (stratokaster). I am on a need to know basis about that one - camera, etc?

Peter, I believe you are smitten - as I would be. I woke up this morning to a very similar face gazing at me.
 
Thanks, Pavel. I really, really like that toning. I have never tried that myself. I was wondering about what looks like water droplet marks... I'm not quite sure what I am looking at there - and what your cat is looking at. To me the image has an old kind of scratchy film feel on the one hand and yet she is superbly crystal clear. Is that part of the processing or was there a sheet of plastic over the window? Whatever is is, I really like this image a great deal.
 
Everyone else's cats seem to be far more compliant that mine -- or they are more photogenic. Mine always seem to look in the wrong direction as soon as I hit the shutter release. I'm sure it is intentional on their part.

I'm embarrassed to say that this is my dirty window :( It is a Soviet-made double-glass panel and the dirt is inside it — I have no way to clean it. Oh well, hopefully I will move out of this horrible apartment in next 3 months.
