Thank you all for the comments. I was very pleased with Matthew's shots. He is NOT the easiest of my beasties to pose - but with a bit of patience, we got him there. I am eager to try some cats that are not part of the family.

Having been doing dogs recently, I can say that they are such a different sort of creature from a cat. In some respects much easier but in others more difficult. i.e. the cats don't want to do what you want them to...so you have to work around them. A dog seems eager to please - except that they don't speak our same language lol.
