    Never say never - you did a great job - but I am biased, I love cats. Nice work!

    Never in all my born days did I smell anything so nasty as a cat show... Because the cats are all intact... (have their testies) they spray all over hells half-acre.
    The stench was so bad I threw the clothes I was wearing away... Lol

    These are the most beautiful cat portraits I've ever seen. (Ok, maybe except for the poor gal in #5, lol.) I know you may not have enjoyed this particular assignment, but if these were my cats I would want you back! clap.gif

    Very nice work. The lighting is perfect.

    #1 looks like he wants to be a Lion ;-) Great shots, and thanks for the info. I think I will stay away from cat shows as well!

    I've never cared either way for cats, but I have to say these are excellent. Very good work!
    Anybody can do it.

    I'd love to know how they get those cats to lie still and pose! The minute I bring my camera out my cat immediately comes over and tries to stick her nose on my lens! These are beautiful, but perhaps a dipole hazmat suit would help you?
