this does look very unnatural to me. However I can't see the wires. Where are they? Thanks.

Someone did, anyway. When their pupils are dilated like that, that's war mode...or fear.

I'm sure the cat was fine, but still. Disapprove.

the feet are wrong as is the tail (trying to use it as a rudder to correct). this cat has been thrown... hopefully had someone soft to land on...

She's an intense, hyper cat. She prefers biting to being stroked, and, with eyes dilated and strong paws pinning and kicking, bites fiercely, purring the entire time. The only way to deal with it is to wear a heavy glove for stroking or playing, or approach her from under a shirt, blanket, etc. to protect the skin. With her energy level, if she doesn't feel that she's getting enough play/attention time, she'll jump up on every available surface and knock every last thing onto the floor.

I HAVE seen her jump like that, but only because she insisted on jumping UP to the top of a window treatment, and then had to jump down. She doesn't do it by choice, and I don't think the cat in the picture did, either.

She gets into enough trouble without trying to manufacture it for a camera; that couple apparently needs to spend a couple of hours with MY cat, and they'd appreciate theirs more.

Crack me up and I don't have to feel upset at their treatment.
