I’m a cat person. Cats have a grace unlike any other animal. Even big cats like lions and tigers have such grace. But big cats like this lioness also have something majestic about them. She truly is a queen.

She is certainly regal! But I think she looks a bit skeptical! I have noticed this in shots of animals, and cats in particular; they look at you as if they question your choice of equipment, camera settings or photography skills. Or they wonder why you are wearing THAT shirt!
That’s one of the reasons I love cats. They have that certain pride and often a personality to match! Some of the cats I’ve had in the years certainly gave me the same look from time to time. Or it could be that they just didn’t like my shirt…
