 Day 8 of 30 Pets

Kira, doing what she does best: relaxing. She is about 14 now but still chases bugs with enthusiasm and wrestles with Anna several times a day. She also loves the dogs ... when they have food she can steal (and they LET her), and has decided in the last year she likes being a lapcat. So if your cat is standoffish, just be patient for a decade or so ;-) Periodic bribery also helps.

PP - converted from RAW, cropped, dodged/burnt eyes, cloned out a few annoying stray hairs and the discharge from her eye (she has a perpetually weepy eye from a blocked tear duct that the vet couldn't fix), USM, border, resize, sharpen.

What a nice cat.
We once had a grey cat - called Smokey - who was very stand-offish. He spent most of the time on the garage roof.

This is cool. Makes me want to take a nap. Could consider pulling the exposure down a little in raw so the light is a tad less harsh.

Beautiful fur on her, the top of her head is a bit washed out.

What a beauty! I really like the lighting, this perfectly captures the moment of Kira basking in the warmth from the light coming in from the window.
