Thank You for your kind words, I am a Photographer, I love animals esp. MY Cat. I shot my cat with a 300mm 2.8 lens wide open. That will blur the background out. MY CAT IS Very special to me, my Dear sweet Dog passed away, an this stray kitten was at my door in the snow the next day. YOU HAVE A WONDERFULL PHOTO YOURSELF! I see many great ones on this site.
