Artist's Comments

Cats seem to hate parties. Being small and underfoot, with a tail, can be a problem when drunk people tower overhead.

Still, for a moment, I was afforded the perfect attention of a cat whom is usually particularly insane for a feline.

I apologize for a cat picture, but I really do like this one.

Isn't it "curiosity killed the cat"? Think the title is a bit contradictive. Attention should prevent cats from getting killed :P

Anyway, about the photo! I love the focus with the blur on the sides. My attention (hehe) is really demanded by the eyes cause they're so sharp, and with those being colored it's just stronger. That's some lovely pair of eyes.. :nod:

Great job =)

The title is a play on words done on purpose. Normaly yes, it is curiosity killed the cat. However, there is more than one way to skin a cat as well, so I think it's fitting.

I'm glad you like the way that the eyes turned out, what you described is exactly the effect that I was hoping to achieve.

Woah, what an intense glare. Whenever my cats get that look in their eyes, they're ready to pounce on something :)

Great capture!

I love the colors and the expression on the face in this photo!

The shallow DOF works great, too :)
