People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative.
Dan Winters - Photographer.
There are few situations in life that cannot be honourably settled, and without any loss of time, either by suicide, a bag of gold, or by thrusting a despised antagonist over the edge of a precipice on a dark night.

This would have been 100 times better if the paw was not in the shot, it seems to take something away from the image, but hey still a fantastically lite and well composed image so well done.
I had a Blue Russian who looked identical to yours. Mine's name was Haze and this shot makes me miss him. Great capture, it seems as though they're always "watching" like this..
