[Leica] How to photograph your cat.

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

But how do you get a cat to sit still long enough?
Contact adhesive under his paws? An overdose of catnip?
As soon as our cat,Posy, sees a camera she runs towards it, obviously 
thinking - if dad's got something in his hands it may be edible.

The lighting set-up bears a very strong resemblance to my macro 
"studio", just on a larger scale.
