This is for my buddy Kilted, who loves cats, because he really is just a big ol' teddy bear on the inside. This is my cat Simon aka: Nermal who reminds me of Kilted. He has attitude and he loves his vittles. Isn't that mouth just kissable?
So this is for you buddy, hope you like it!!

Ciao Linda, lovely cat over my head, original portrait with good natural colors and fine details, splendid loght on eye, very well done, ciao Silvio

David

With a star in his eye! Excellent composition, texture, sharpness and lighting. Is really Kilted as as adorable as Simon aka? TFS

Lorena

Hi Linda..beautiful shot...very elegant composiiton and details..excellent.

Roger

AWESOME SHOT LINDA!!! :) WOW! The lighting I especially like on this one. The eye in this shot is amazing. Lovely coloring he has. The sharpness and details are stunning! :) Lisa

Beautiful shot, I like your crop. His eye is beautiful, and lovely face. And I have to say, excellent name. We had the most incredible cat named Simon who lived 14 years, our hearts were ripped out when he passed away in 2005.

Hi Linda,
Great close-up shot of your lovely friend, I'm amazed how beautifully his eyes are exposed. The details are also impressiv and needless to say - sharpness and clarity of this shot are excellent. I also like this crpping.
Recently, I also took a picture of my neighbour's cat from my balcony, I think I'll post it soon. :)
Have a nice day!
Greetings,
Kristof

Teresa

hi linda.
i have just seen your posting and burst out laughing. my posting today is also a cat and i have also apologised to richard in my notes.
hahahahahaha!! great minds think alike.

this is a superb close up of this beautiful creature. (he is the exact opposite of mr.A)

I don't think he will speak to us for awhile.
hugs.
Brian.

ps....
i'm still laughing.

Hi Linda,
Great pussy image for K-A, he will be delighted, particular it's a red cat (Scottish ancestors?). The twinkle in her eyes is a superb detail. Sure our Kilted friend will have sweet dreams now :-)

Beautiful Simon Nermal for Richard. And he's a ginger too. Many Scots are ginger as well!!
I'm sure Richard will love this pussy

Ha ha - Richard never saw that yet... anyway that is so great and he'll loved this one for sure.
Kind of unusually beautiful portrait - great details and this shiny sun in an eye.... gorges !
Cheers - Tom:)

Hello Linda!
Beautiful your cat, Simon!
Great close-up and very good detail!
Nice little star in his eye!
Best regards!
Lili

I've no idea what "vittles" are or whether I love them, but I do know I love this shot in spite of the subject matter :-)

In all seriousness has to be about the best catsnap I've seen, here or anywhere else. The close crop is original, daring and it works. The colours are lifelike, the image is sharp and the wee catchlight in his eye in the icing on the cake.

Stunning shot - and thank you :-)

Linda,

You were my neighbor today and i didn't even notice it until now. I love the close-up portrait of this cat. His eye reminds me of the marbles that I used to play with as a child. This led me on an extensive tangent (thanks for that...) and I found some very interesting information on cats' eyesight.

Thanks again. I am now going to have to dig up photos of my first cat, Blackie.

TFS,
MP

AWESOME shot, Linda!
Perfect exposure, beautiful lighting, MAD good sharpness and detail. I LOVE that golden eye. My gosh, that's a nice shot!! Many thanks and warmest wishers,
Shelly

I didn't know richard is one of us (the cat lovers..)... so when I saw the theme kitties for kilted I had to go look...
what a cat, Linda! he has a perfect mouth indeed! I wish my two cats would sit still for 2 seconds like Simon...
this is an excellent cat portrait, original in the crop, with fantastic details, and a great light from the side...
one of the best cat portrait I saw so far on these pages.
