This is one beautiful cat, two images. I think his name was Merlin ! Rather a feisty boy who liked to play cat and mouse.. (me being the mouse) - but- oh so gorgeous. I think he knew it too - just look at that pose.
I was actually photographying a dog at the time - and the cat of the house just rocked on in.. posed away and then after a couple of frames - sauntered off...
I think the saying " dogs have masters ... cats have slaves" is very true....
