Well now, he does look REGAL. And for a regal cat to be humble is largely impossible! Great portrait.

I have to confess that cats don't do a lot for me. In particular the one that used to crap on our lawn.
Lovely crisp shot though.

oh -- beautiful! is this a blue russian? or a descendent? we had a cat like this when i was very young -- i used to terrorize him -- as i didn't know any better... but oh how fun! poor beautiful kitty! and he was so patient too! i think he eventually learned to love the attention! ;) gorgeous shot! so handsome!

Que bien se distinguen tanto el bigote como los pelos del gato, resaltan y eso me gusta, un saludo y gracias por tus visitas/comentarios.
