She does have weird eyes. She is a sweetie, but her sweetness is a cover for that brat that lives within her. One minute snoozed out letting you rub her belly the next terrorizing something or someone. Lens, I have a 70-300 with macro and used that at full extension on the macro setting. I can't remember the f stop but it was indoors so I imagine it was around f8 knowing the lighting in my living rooom, maybe f16 if I was lucky. Glad you both like it, her eyes are really the best part.
