not often Molly lets me get this close to her with the camera in hand - on second thoughts it's not often she lets me get this close, full stop. She is definitely not the most social of cats to say the least.
Fine shot. Nice expression in her eyes. Yes, it's very difficult to ask a cat to be a model. I know it as mine hates my taking shots of him and so I've got only one, two, may be three shots of him.
