Description
My goal was to try and capture his reflection in the water. The day was so incredibly hot that he spent most of the day in the pool (when he wasn't running around like a mad thing! I had to wait and wait and wait..........and wait for him to jump out of his pool and go for a little walk. The moment he did, I was waiting and captured his reflection!! Wooo Hooo! If you zoom you can clearly see how soaked to the bone he was.

Just as an aside, 5 mins after this shot was taken the keeper restrained Mr Battle Cat and then hung a dead deer in a tree. It was incredibly sobering to see this cat go from a lazy sleep all day pussy to a frightening killing machine. He came out of his enclosed waitng area faster than a speeding Hayabusa with a Harley on it's tail! He then jumped half way up the tree in one effortless pounce, grabbed the deer and disappeared out of site. He was so strong he could have made off with my car if had put his mind to it!
