Would have been better maybe if you had gotten a shot of the cat jumping in? But regardless, this is quite good!

To answer everyone. The cat in the photo is my Bengal cat Nikita.

Bengal cats are a fairly new cat breed. They were created by hybridising together a wild spotted cat called the Asian Leopard Cat and normal domestic cats. Her pattern is only this dramatic on the belly (the wild cat has a white belly, most bengal cats don't but their underside is much paler and clearer than their bodies.

Her back and sides are a nutty brown colour with black spots, some of them multy toned. I love photographing her and I'm trying to get beyond the typical "cat snapshot" although I confess this photo could have been set up better.

For those of you who are thinking about getting bengals. Do some research first but overall they are very energetic, fun, active and clever cats but they can be quite a handful so if you want a low maintenance cat Benals aren't the right breed.

Thank you everyone for your comments and votes. This was my first challenge entry and I was hoping I wouldn't tank completely

That is a gorgeous cat. Looks like a baby tiger. I love the idea. Strange as it seems, I think the color choice for the clothes behind the cat kind of take away from the brilliant color and markings.

I do have cats, and I can definitely appreciate this image.

What a pretty cat! He/she looks like Garfield - orange and black. My cats like to snuggle like this, too.

What is the race of the cat?... We are looking for a cat since long and we like very much yours.
About the picture: I think is a very good idea, maybe I wouldn't crop your feet and put another color in the bed because pure white is very dificult to manage in a picture
