A beautiful creature it's owner didn't want left at the shelter to wonder

Nice portrait of this feline with out of focus, muted color background.  Next time compose so you don't need to crop.

Thanks for the comment J. Actually I didn't have to crop that much, but composing is not an option. Every Thursday I shoot 8 to 10 animals for my local humane society in about 2 hours. Object, to get one good facial shot and one good body shot to be used on the shelter's web site. The animals are taken right from cages in very loud chaotic kennels. They are stressed, fearful, and extremely energetic. I have two volunteer handlers (essential)  to get their attention and keep them from jumping off the table. I'm on an office chair with wheels following them, using continuous auto focus, and a quick zoom lens.  I use up most of a 4 gig card in one session. All the rules for studio photography of pets, which I've done, don't apply here. Strobes and flash are useless. It's continuous flood lighting. If you love animals and want a challenge I urge you to try it. Regards, Bill.
