She is a stray and doesn't like it when people come too close to her. Something bad must have happened in her young days. You can pet her, but then, all of a sudden, she strikes back hard.
Not much PP: cropping, resize to 720, sharpening.
Probably get bashed again, as usual.

Great sharp details and nice tones. purrrrfect exposure. (sorry, could not resist) extra points for the kitty in a photo to help make up for the cat-haters. Great work. Love the little feet!
It took a while to understand the title/image combination concept, but eventually light dawned on Marblehead. A clever title and image that just falls short of being completely successful. Technically competant with proper exposure and good DOF control, it's artistic impact, while there, is very subtle and could have used a more in your face treatment. Still, a very good entry into the challenge meeting the challenge criteria.
I adore cat paws. There is something so delicate yet cartoonish about them. I think this could have used a bit more contrast, or adjusted the lighting levels slightly. Maybe even done in sepia.
