I hesitated and gave up twice on this picture, but decided to go back for a 3rd attempt to extract Lethe from the background. The look she gave the camera is too good to let it go to waste.

Lethe’s gene is a cross between a cat with short hair and another with long hair to better adapt to the wet and cold eastern Canada. Great for survival, but a pain for extraction. It is hard to extract hair, period. Let along extracting it against a random background in my room that has color ranges from pretty much all of the spectrum.

    Very good job, and the expression is certainly worth it!
