I consider them a superior species as well. A quick glance at the day's headlines will explain why. 😢

Real Men Shoot Film.
Sneaky rolling around, looking cute by the back door of my house early in the morning shortly after sunrise a few weeks ago. I shot this on 35mm color film, which I've recently started using again after many years of only shooting digital for my color work.
Leica M4-2, 50mm f2.4 Summarit-M, Kodak Portra 400.

It's all an act. He may look cute, but he's a killer!

I showed the photo to my mother, and she said: "He's probably hoping a bird will land on his belly so he can murder it!"

Just curious, Chris. In your Fort Wayne thread as well, you mentioned returning to shooting film in your Leica. What's behind that decision? Thats's a curious (not hostile!) question.

Good question. I decided to answer in a separate thread:
Why I'm Shooting Film Again

Sneaky's been sick the last couple days. I'm taking him to the vet this afternoon. The nictitating membranes in his eyes are partly closed, covering almost half of each eye, and he is sleeping a lot more than normal and not wanting to eat as much.
Despite this, he wants outside and is mad that I'm keeping him in so that I can take him to the vet later today.
Crop from the main image so you can see his eyes.

Let's hope all goes well for Sneaky. He is, of course, family!

I'm pulling for Sneaky, too!
I hope the vet has a good solution and that Sneaky is soon back to his old self.

Just got back from the vet. He has hairballs clogging his digestive system; they gave medication for that.

The best camera is one that still works!
From memory you can get a specialised dry food for cats that deals with it that you can give them occasionally.

Sneaky refuses to touch dry food. He eats canned food, and refuses to eat that unless I add real meat to it. I have to keep a bag of leftiver steak and chicken in the fridge to 'season' his food with so he'll eat.

Yeah its a common issue with longhaired cats.

There's a hairball treatment you can get from your vet for this. Laxatone. Had this problem with my tuxedo, Baby! She is small already, 9 pounds, she lost 2 pounds. Vet visit wasn't cheap! But a good vet. The Laxatone is around $10. Helps kitty pass hairballs! Baby's also on a special diet also. She eats Purina Pro Plan hairball dry food.

I will second the recommendation for Laxatone. It's very effective for our cat, who is also a longhair. She gets a special diet as well, but it's a dry kibble from Royal Canin. Probably a no-go for Sneaky.
Glad to hear that his problem isn't serious!
