MT Entry

The difficult part of taking this image was luring my cat, Morpheus, to peer sinisterly through the mouse hole. After a few 100 takes, it finally happened...lol!

Thanks to Jeff, Carol, Nancy, Renata, Patti, Leslie, Phyllis, Julianne, Randy, Rona, Renee, Linda, Kathy and Datha for your previous comments. I had to make a few adjustments and re-enter.

Marvelous execution and concept, Debra. At first, I thought that this is a nifty DD work, but was pleasantly surprised to read that this is a result of an idea executed to perfection and I do admire your perseverance in getting the kitty to pose just right. I am sure, the judges will agree too. Good luck!
