I like this Rei.  I tried a similar shot recently with a late non DR
50 cron with B&W film and was disappointed I couldn't get closer
(Ted rightly told me to blow it up)

I don't own a viso but have used them in decades past, always found them
too "fidley".  I also have been inspired by recent macro posts (George,
Jim, several others) and have been digging thru my old "toy boxes"
to see what I can come up with, so far it looks like all small format old 
film Nikons, some old venerable Nikkor lenses, and some PK and K extention 
rings. (The OT gods will ruin my sleep tonight). We'll see!

One thing about cats, the light can be weak but if they are looking into
it, the eyes will do the rest! ;-)
