Weak oppose For such an ordinary subject, I'd expect an extraordinary image, and this doesn't shout that to me. Its pose seems a little awkward, and the res/focus isn't breathtaking. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 23:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think it's pretty good. If anything I'd have not stopped down so much so that the branches were less distracting. Noodle snacks (talk) 01:03, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose since the tail is not show, therefore the it is not the best position to depict a common animal. Nergaal (talk) 17:07, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This tabby cat three times featured and is far more illustrative IMO. --George Chernilevsky ^talk 12:18, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Is that one a full adult? How long to cats take to mature? Noodle snacks (talk) 12:43, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Addult age is 5–10 months (females) and to 5–7 months (males) (from this article). So, it is adult cat. --George Chernilevsky ^talk 14:28, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's Caturday! Since the nomination is "male" tabby cat and is also stated in the caption, what here identifies it as male? Do male tabbys have special markings or is that only males can be tabbys in the same way that only females can be calicos? Matthewedwards : Chat 01:41, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There are no marked visible differences that I know, except the obvious ones. Adult males (non-neutered) are usually bigger and have larger heads. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support: No matter about the tail for me—lots of images at Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Animals/Mammals don't show tails and I consider it a necessary evil at times. This is more of a portrait. The pose isn't awkward; cats do sit like this (and lots of other uncomfortable-looking ways). Also think the resolution is fine, and I like the branches in the background. They seem to be nicely framing, somehow. I like the alt, too, but the focus has missed the head, and there is EV in the sitting position. Maedin\^talk 21:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The kitten is a better image.--Mbz1 (talk) 06:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
