spend any amount of time around cats and it doesn't take long to realise how highly developed an aesthetic sense they have.  it's not just the elegance and grace of their movements: they also know how to pose in such a fashion as to take best advantage of their setting.

there's nothing accidental about it: it's as deliberate as all get out. 
ladies and gentlemen of the jury, regard for a moment Exhibit A:

framed by the branches of a plumeria tree in the background, this cat is also making the most of the ambient light.

My all-time favorite little cat also had a strong sense of color.

She was a little tortie, like Meg. When a friend who was a massage therapist came to give me backrubs, not only did she insist on getting her massage first, but she always spent some time posing languorously on his orange sheets, asking for her closeup. She also used to spend a lot of time with the Halloween pumpkins, because she look so felicitous with them.
