    Love the lighting and the pose. We used to have a “Mackerel” kitty just like yours. Mackerel because of the markings and the “M” marking between the eyes.

      Thank you very much , this was a an old potted plant tub dumped at the side of a rural road and these little wildflowers had taken hold in the soil that remained in the pot ( not sure what they are called ) life will cling to anything given half a chance 🙂

    Love the texture – looks like your pal is enjoying a run through feathery soft “something”. I don’t think the smile could be any bigger.
