This is our housemate's cat, Lucky. She is tiny, only 5 1/2 pounds or so, and is 18 years old. She still scampers around like a kitten, though, and kills catnip-filled mice with reckless abandon.
She was the lady of the house until we brought my one-eyed cat, Jack, to NYC from L.A. (She may look like she has one eye in this image, but her left eye is just in shadow.) They get along in that uneasy cat way, where they swat at each other occasionally when we are around but will sniff each other's noses and sit close to each other when they think we're not looking.
This shot was taken with our Canon 5D and the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I just got this lens, and I really love it. It was quite difficult to maintain focus in this shot because she's a cat and therefore refuses to hold still when I want her to. I did manage to catch another shot with her face in focus, shown after the jump along with a couple of images from the Nokia N82 - a kitty standoff and Lucky lounging on her most prized possession, our cat-hair-filled cable box.
