Sym Cat. Shot from about 6 ft, with a pre WW1 B&L Ziess Tessar 5X7 format lens, by holding it on a bellows attachment with one hand and holding the camera with the other.
Adjusted contrast and levels, brightness, highlights with iPhoto.
The green must be "cat thoughts".
For the curious, here is the setup that it was shot with, after I made a threaded adapter to mount it on the bellows.

What pretty thoughts your cat has! It's great to see an example of what you can do with that lens. What an incredible acquisition that was. Wouldn't it be great if it could tell you its stories? I wonder if there are any relics from its past in old family albums somewhere.

Eta - Nice as the b&w version is, the colours here are so delicious that this version is better.
