Rats? Yikes...we get them at school sometimes, and traps/bait is the only answer, plus find any nest they may have made...

Got a shot to work on, so will see how it pans out...

I had a terrible shock when i found we had them.

Best of luck Chris, one thing is a certainty you need to get rid as quickly and permanently as possible.

i like the idea of this shot, but maybe you could get a better angle on the cats? if you could get down more on felix's eye level, and maybe get him looking stright into the eyes of his 'friend' that would be good. the shot also looks a little bit orange - do you have the ability to change the white balance setting on your camera (try auto or maybe tungsten), or do you have any editing software to help you?

If you dont mind some advice. Try a narrower depth of field to blur the background and focus on the cats. Get on the floor so you are on eye level with the cats and focus on the cats eyes. A closer crop or more zoomed in to the main subject might give a more powerful, punchy image.
