Backyard Lioness

One of our cats, "Kit."

Nice texture of the fur. He/ she looks very pensive. Contemplating something to pounce perhaps?

Nice photo of a very content looking "lioness" ... a cat ready to pounce has much wider, rounder, bigger eyes and really looks "all eyes and ears". This one looks relaxed, as if wanting to start purring the next instance, I should say.
Wonderful green grass!
I like your DOF here, do you remember your aperture?

Thanks, although semi-feral, she's still a sweet baby. One behavioral oddity: if you're wearing sandals, she likes to lick your toes with her little sandpaper tongue. Feels really strange!

The aperture was 4.0 at 1/200s, but that's with my Sony DSC-F707 with a 1.7 Teleconverter on it. So essentially I was shooting her at 323mm from about 25 feet away.
