 My 12 year old gorgeous cat, Tawny. When she was younger, she was treated for a disorder called Defensive Aggression, which is a Jekyll and Hyde persona. When alone with her family she is the suckiest cat around. As soon as a stranger enters, she'd growl and hiss at everyone. This disorder has subsided greatly with age, but every now and then Mr. Hyde makes an appearance.

Good light. Composition OK, but over NeatImaged.

Separate score for cat's tactile 'fuzzy-felt' mouth/nose junction (specially evolved to accommodate a gently moving human fingertip):

This (except for the eyes) is a little soft for my tastes. Did you dodge or something? I don't really know how to use those features, but the mouth just looks too white.

looks like fur that's been neat-imaged - too smooth - which is a shame because it's a nice shot with nice light.

beautiful photo but there seems to have been a strange mixture of sharpening and softening in areas of the fur on the face.
