Maybe some kind of catnip but for big cats?

An amzing clear well composed image Sandrine, the light is amazing...you have really nailed this image, couldn't be more perfect. You do wonder what's inside the bag don't you. Thank you for sharing this.

Hahaha, it's so cute! Like a rumpled dad picking up his morning newspaper. I love it when photographers capture expression in animal photos. Or maybe it's just me being anthropomorphic.

Fantastic light and composition, Sandrine! Just excellent. The question of the day... what's inside the bag?

Il est majestueux, très beau portrait. Enigmatique en effet ce petit sac qu'il tient fièrement dans sa gueule...

Whatever it is he has the "it's mine" look in his eye! It must be tasty. Beautiful light, color, and detail!

Stunning cat! Well - whatever it is inside the bag..he sure isn't going to let anyone find out. Love the colors. Really nice.

A magnificient cat and an incredible capture of him. I don't think he is going to share. After all he is king of all he surveys.
