Poise of a Perfect Pose

Jake's brother, Achilles. Named so for having the boldest, most ambitious personality within his litter.
He's one of those cats that are harder to photograph, like my own, Jasper (the big orange cat). He's energetic and rambunctious so he's usually moving too much to capture.
So, these are one of those shots that can be appreciated not just for the final product but what efforts were made (on both our parts) to catch one such as this.
