For love of cats

Yesterday my hubby and I visited a small mountain community near us. At one point on a back street we came across a group of about cats. Most of them went running away at our approach, but one stopped under a car. I really wanted to capture one for my dear friend Linley. I got a halfway decent shot, but it was definitely nothing gift-worthy. Then I got an idea to combine it with my shot "Light", and here is the result!! I'm pretty happy with it, so Linley sweetie, this is for you!

And some words as well...
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
