I've seen a couple of those commercials. They're funny.

In the third photo, is the kitty that looks like it's 'going in for
the kill' Ozy?

LOL! Some cats just believe they are Big Cats. Here's my sister's cat
Linus, driving away a young elk who came too close to our house on the
island one summer. Very poor pictures, but they're scanned from poorish
photos.

You're right, there's not a lot of detail, but you can tell that Linus
is fluffed up as big as he can be.

Regards and Purrs,

Well, just such a thing played itself out in my back yard Sunday
evening: two of my cats stalked, and spooked, one of the four deer
that were grazing in my back yard - closer than I have ever seen
before (the closest was about 60 feet from the back door). I was able
to get three poor but usable pictures and I made them into a web page:

I sometimes daydream about somehow setting up a scheme to provide good
and even flash lighting over much of my back yard ... over about an
acre. I miss so many potentially interesting pictures because it's
too dark when the animals come and they are too far away to use flash
from the house.
