A TRICK OF PERSPECTIVE

Here’s a picture of Sammy, ensconced in her favorite place under the dining room table in my Dad’s Florida pied-à-terre. [Click on the pic to embiggen.]

Those front paws look pretty large, do they not?

A trick of perspective, perhaps? A wide-angle lens creating a bit of fisheye distortion?

Maybe...but I will tell you that little Sammy is not afraid to use those big ol’ claws. She looks like a shy and retiring kitty, but mess with her and you will draw back a bloody stump. Unless you’re Eli, His Ownself.
