Preston,
OK, you've redeemed yourself. These are magnificent! Great cat, too.

My sister has a Maine Coon and she's just gorgeous but very skittish. I've tried to shoot her (photographically) and she's very difficult. I think your comments about show cats are similar to show dogs -- they know how to pose and don't mind being handled.

Still, I'm not going to seek out any cat clients. I think they are just too difficult -- for me at least.

Jim
