 Well, Ojers is probably not so irresistable to folks who don't like cats :-)

Man, you are killing these cats! :-) Superb piece of work - the tonal range & detail are amazing. This is soooo much better than the orig.

Instant fave! I'm waiting daily for your announcement that the book is printed & ready for sale at B&N. You really should. I have a title for you: "The Flattered Cat."

How do you know to do all that...you amaze me :) I love his sleepy expression , the little visible fur like a halo of softness- I don't fathom how anyone can not like cats ?????
