Another one for the cat people!
This is one of the cats from the SPCA shoot as well. I was playing with cropping and I cropped this REALLY tight as you can see and I think it looks pretty good, I was fighting myself between the white or the black border but I think the white makes the crop more dramatic.
Feeding time for the otters was coming up, and the otters were running around, demanding their food by continuously squealing. I think otters are great animals to observe – very quick and lithe, and they are excellent swimmers.
But he really is. Garfield yawning before a nap. :)
Even the cat is in on it! / . / / . /
My cat wouldn’t let me take her picture until I let her hide in the box from my computer. Then she let me know how she really felt about it.
Cats have a highly developed sense of smell, although not as much so as in dogs. This is further supplemented by the presence of a vomeronasal organ in the roof of the mouth, allowing the animal to “taste” the air. Cats possess highly sensitive whiskers set deep within the skin, and provide the cat with sensory information about the slightest air movement around it. For this reason they are very helpful for a nocturnal hunter. (Wikipedia.org)

Cats have highly specialized teeth for the tearing of meat. The premolar and first molar together compose the carnassial pair on each side of the mouth, which efficiently functions to shear meat like a pair of scissors. While this is present in canids, it is highly developed in felines. The cat’s tongue has sharp spines, or papillae, useful for retaining and ripping flesh from a carcass. These papillae are small backward-facing hooks that contain keratin which also assist in their grooming. As facilitated by their oral structure, cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including mewing (“meow” or “miaow”), purring, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.(wikipedia.org)
Don’t worry, the little mouse is safe… WHY?... It’s obvious, isn’t it?...or havn’t they made up their minds yet? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Enjoy.

We rescued this little fella from a certain death! He was trapped in a pit that was too deep for him to get out of. Looked like he had been in there a while but after some water and a bit of biscuit, he was soon hopping merily! / The closest information i could find on this was a “Kangaroo Rat” which is located in California. This one however was in the Sahara desert in Libya. / Taken with D300, 105mm f/2.8 Macro at 105mm, ISO 200, f/16, 1/400. / . / / . /
