That looks a tricky one Geoff. The ref is not very sharp and the left foot looks distorted by the camera angle. The cat looks like it's wearing a 'mourning band' (don't know the correct term) on it's leg. However, I have no doubt you will do it justice and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way
Of all the little weary paws
That walk the world

Agree with Enug, it will be tricky to get a natural look with the paws front of camera. People love their pets so much that when they take photos of them, they only see their pet, but we see totally weird angles. Cats are lovely to work with though as the eyes are stunning and the fur colours can really be gone to town on.
Looks like the cat ran off. How very feline. (in other words, the picture vanished)

Yes it ran off a long time ago as it passed away some years back .
I made a mistake and posted in the wrong place but what else can you expect from an old guy in his eighties Lol
