Jumping cats

[The_Traveler]

This is clearly not a great picture technically but the content is interesting one to me.
There is a monastery on the shore of a large lake in Myanmar (Inle Lake) where the monks have taught cats to do tricks - mainly jumping through hoops. The cats are unusual docile and seem drugged - altho I saw none smoking.

This was a deeply shaded building with blinding sun outside - and a relatively slow lens - so I was quite lucky to catch this. This is, obviously, a 'share' rather than a 'picture.'
