Love that curious expression. Kind of like my cat looking for treats! I wish the ears were not cut off at the top.

Wonderful close-up portrait, Stuart. Beautiful markings, awesome eyes and like the open mouth. It would be nice if ears were not clipped, but still very well done!

Lovely detail...I assume this is captive. I also think its disappointing the ears have been clipped.

A cat I would love to see in the wild one day Stuart (as I'm sure do you ).
The light is rather flat here, and the cut off ears have been mentioned. Do you have any shot a tad wider?
