Oh my goodness Parry, those are simply awesome shots....you got to love those big cats. I've got lots of great lion shots from South Africa, but no leopards.
Nice work.

Fantastic captures! Love the cheetah's eyes, how beautiful! Your thread caught my eye because it looks like we have the same surname! (I'm assuming your screenname is your surname anyway). Welcome to DPS too.

Hehe! The catnip cat is hilarious - that stuff's like crack cocaine for cats. Mine goes bananas when the "good" stuff comes out. And good luck getting any cat in focus then!

yeah, shes never reacted to it before, but shes only just turned 4-ish and it varies if it affects cats... Other ones i took in the same session worked out quite well mostly when she was pushing the lens away with her paws (20mm wide angle) so really close...
