what a nice origin story for Kashmir; I have a "thick" cat here at home too, perfectly loveable but braininess not in their wheelhouse :)

lovely high-key here - velvet lb a good choice

The noise works well with your subject and composition. It creates a little visual separation that adds mystery. If everything was clean and neat it would just be another cat photo.

Another fine portrait. Pashmina seems to be of two minds about all the attention. An advantage of the heavy grain is that it allows her to emerge a la the Cheshire cat. A beautiful animal that can carry the attention with grace and aplomb.

Perfect capture with the detail in the shredded chair and the lurking culprit. Beautifully processed.

But for the chair seat, with its pattern and domed nails, this could be Siberia. That's how I saw it in the thumbnail. A lynx or fox crouched under an overhang, amidst the snow and next to a leaning tree. Your lens enables the image but your eye supplies the entirety. It's both intimate and at a remove. That it is a chair overhead is charming in that we often see the ancient wildness in our pets, their theoretical existence in the forests and on the plains of yesteryear. It's an enchanting image of possibilities.
