Lovely picture. She looks so contented there eyeing up that tree

I'm loving her white bib too. Such a poppet.

Thanks Pinklizzy, I like this shot myself. Think my kittens thinking up a away to get the star from the top of the tree.

Yes My cats are in door only, you could shoot when the light is brightest, 11 - 14 in the afternoon. Open up the curtains as wide as you can. Or if you want to shoot at night you could try adding a couple table lights pointing near the cat. All depends on what effect your after or if you your cat wants to comply. I usually take about 100 photos in one session and only fine 2 or 3 that I like.

I like this photo, natural with a nice Christmas feel to it.

So here's her favourite toy!

Here is Kinsi 'helping' with the Christmas tree decorations.

'that's that bauble in place, just one more bit of tinsel and this last bauble to put up'

[dandysmom]

This was the best I could do...Leia acting kittenish in the paper scraps left over from the wrapping.

[calismum]

She looks as if she knows there is something hiding in there - are you sure you checked the paper properly?

[dandysmom]

Yep, just scrap paper. Think she was pretending there was a mouse....cats do like to play imaginative games!

We only had one mouse come in this Autumn...it never lived to go tell its family it had found a nice warm spot to spend the Winter...
