Survival Practice - Catman

the weather has been cold and rainy so outdoor shots were out of the question so I fell back on my favorite subject, Cats

They love to play don't they, great expression!

Great minds work alike. I Love the tiger pattern on the back Freddy's head and tried and tried to get a close up without the flash so the light would fall smoothly away and give some form and depth but shot after shot failed to get acceptable results. So Tommy always playful decided he would be my model and began to play on the stairs. The ball is actually from another shot on the stairs. The ball was in the wrong position in the original shot so I took a separate shot of the ball and did a cut and pasted.
Fortunately Flash worked OK for these two combined images

Brenda has mentioned an excellent idea Richard. See if you can get a close up of his lovely tiger patterns. That would be great for the theme and like you said, he's a very good subject. I'm wondering about your title, it seems the survival practice would be needed for the ball more then Tommy. LOL

Patterns in the fur - and also on the yarn-covered ball.

Great closeup portrait of this handsome fellow, too. Your cat photos are always terrific and this one is no exception.
