That is a terrific photo, Bob - The cat's eye and the woman's mouth,
combined the with burrowing of the cat really tell a story....

BD -

Thanks for your take.  This business of which snaps have any value for  
an audience other than those with an intimate knowledge of the subjects  
shown is quite a confusing area for me.  And despite my couching of the  
post in terms of the reflectance values of housecats, the wrenching  
nature of the end of a life is not news to nobody.

Incidentally, here's one of the photos that I decided not to post  
initially.  Despite the truly beautiful (to me) and elegant curve of  
Katie's head and neck I felt that without being told few would notice  
Ruthie's tears falling onto the cat's face.  And if you hafta point  
that kindof thing out, the snap can't be that good...
