BBC Wildlife Magazine - January 2014 Volume 32 Number 1

Well I finally got around to writing about the January 2014 cover photo of BBC Wildlife Magazine featuring the Scottish Wildcat taken by Laurie Campbell:

The expression on the cat's face is one I've seen in my own cats - surprise, indignation, concentration, focus.  A beautiful creature and sadly scarce, the Highland Tiger is now the subject of conservation projects.  This was worth a mention on my ongoing research into personal voice.  In this case, the photographer did not attempt to make the animal look sweet and cuddly or similar to a domestic cat, but instead cat it in action, probably stalking, and captured the very essence of the creature's survival.
