Tarkovsky is one of my 3 favorite directors - I had a shot for Stalker also (I prefer yours) but thought that nobody will know the movie!

I find myself guilty on occasion to mention a quick connection that my mind makes between a photograph and a painting. If I mention a painter or a painting it is not that I compare the photograph with a "higher" form of art.
It's more in the same vein in which Agatha Christie portrayed Miss Marple who always found a link between everything and everyone by just studying the events and people of her little village; a way of understanding.
This is a powerful image (well, heck, Bacon comes to my mind!) in which the elements were treated technically a bit unevenly. While one side is so much like an x-ray , the other side is treated painterly and I lose concentration.
I would certainly mark it high without making it a favorite.

Slick and interesting. Like a still frame.

I'm afraid that the word lovely would not satify you. But it's a truly splendid picture of a rather-plump-for-California party animal.

You got the essence, the spirit of the cat and turned it into a magnificent shot.
