Grey tabby cat lying on concrete wall with weathered wooden fence behind him. He looks directly at camera with a relaxed, trusting but slightly annoyed expression. Right paw against chest, left paw leaning over wall edge. Picture taken at night and camera flash makes his irises look emerald.

I guess I could post this picture from a few weeks ago of one of the neighborhood cats I feed. Fed him since he was a kitten and, creatively, call him "Lil' One". He hates fights and threats and is very needy for cheek pets. When I come home from work, he wants to run in the front door 'n meow 4food
