This is going much better than expected and I am loving the comments. Would this have looked better without the shirt/dress on the cat? Yeah probably but I wanted an image that didn't make sense. Took my inspiration from the old black and white photos you see with weird or obscure items in the frame. I wanted an absurd shot that would make people stop for a second. Thanks to all of you who are commenting. Good chance this will replace one of my top 5 images on my profile.

Top 10, 20 comments so far and a new shot on my profile page. thank you all and I am glad you enjoyed it.

this is a funny one for you, almost like a meatlove video willowing shirt compared to your usual bare chest tattoo'd axe wieldingness :)

My cats would never let me do this...this is such a cool portrait. I love the seriousness of you in contrast with the cat wearing a shirt.

Still entertained by the stiff-arm pose on your cat :-)

Cat looks as if he doesn't know why you dressed him up like this, either. Lighting is great and I like the off-center composition.

Nicely done! Your self portrait work is quite entertaining.

For some reason I pictured you a dog person.
I would have gone Dr. Claw on this one, sitting in a chair and all.

Rich tonal range. And, the toning treatment is very eye-pleasing.

I have a cat and I can't imagine getting him to sit still, let alone wear a dress. This is hilarious. Congrats on 10th place!

This is just so incredibly great! Love the cats eyes. It's such a "not again..." look. -8-

I really like this shot but what is working as an overall image i feel also lets the shot down in this challenge.
The shot lacks any real emotion as you and the cat look deadpan and it does not come across as an affectionate shot.
Having said that, take the word affectionate away and its a cracker. 7

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this. It's amazing...so legit. Needs to be on the front page. Fingers crossed.

She is not looking entirely relaxed. Not hissing and spitting, but her posture is a bit stiff. Could be she objects to the outfit ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/02/2012 09:13:36 PM
why is she wearing clothes? Would have liked it better without the clothing....on the cat of course not the guy! :)

Nefertiti wants outta that dress! Good photo, well lit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/01/2012 05:41:52 PM
You don't look like the type of guy to dress up his cat. That makes this all that much better :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/01/2012 01:03:54 AM
Not sure about the apron, but I love the glare from both of you!

Nefertiti doesn't look very happy and I don't get the t-shirt hanging off of her.

Great eyes. (not a huge fan of the dress) ;) 7

I love the mix of seriousness in the man's expression combined with the absurdity of a cat in a dress. :) Bonus points for naming the cat after an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh.

I like the toning on this monochrome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/30/2012 02:02:52 AM
hahahaha... that's all I can say really!! The poor cat looks so unimpressed haha (I understand that look - my cat has that look all the time)

Oh Josh this totally cracks me up, it's so funny, but you are so serious. Well done.

Awesome shot! I hope this does well for you.
