A growing trend of young mice playing a game called "sneak up on the sleeping cat" has mouse authorities very concerned. :D

    Yes I have heard about this. It is related to the deadly "chicken" game of the 'sixties, when young people raced in front of cars to dare drivers or show their courage, often with tragic results.

    Hey, is that a fake mouse? The cat sure looks interested! Makes me look closer. That's engaging your audience alright!thumb.gif

    Cool!

    My cat is more concerned about running from my dogs. Dumb cat with mega claws.

    The dogs used to chase cockroaches, til they discovered they were dangerous bugs that elicited screams from me. Now they just point.

    Really cool catch of a shot!

    Maybe the mouse is real and the cat is fake.rolleyes1.gif

    my question is - how were you there to catch that shot and why didn't YOU scare off the mouse?

    great catch!!!

    OK...i will fess up.

    I have been having some sharpness issues, with some product shots, so I put my 70-200 2.8 lens on and walked out the back door to fire off a couple of shots at different
    f stops, and shutter speeds, to see if the out side shots were better and perhaps see if the inside lighting had spmething to do with it.

    My cat was the first tarket I noticed and when I was checking the shots, I saw this one were he seems to be intent on something, yet there wasn't anything there.

    the photo screamed for something to be there........so dear friends...............I put the mouse in. :D

    Seems like I may have done a better job of inserting him than I thought.
