Simba & Ziva Our New Family Additions ... (+ many more in comments !)

Meet Simba (boy) & Ziva (girl, in photo above ^^^), our new 13 week old pet Bengal Cats. They are amusing to say the least, as I type (at 2357!!!) they are running around the study attacking the window nets at about 200mph !! Such fabulous temperaments, fun, vocal, social and affectionate they are a credit to the breeder, www.ycoedbengals.com . For those who may not know, Bengals are a cross between an Asian Leopard Cat and a Domestic Cat, these are F4 cats so have about 12% wild genes. Got them in the studio quickly, a kind of muck about session, against my lastolite backdrop with a SB28 camera right in shoot through brolly and YN460 mk2 into silver brolly, fired with cactus v2's and setup with sekonik l358. All shots were taken with my D300S and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D or Tamron SP 17-50 f/2.8 .

Had to share them as I just think they are the cutest things ever. They are just so much fun, as you can see they just play in, on or with anything !
