Slate is sleeping in this photo with his new blanket, and his real eyes can't be seen. However, he has a pair of oval shaped patterns above his real eyes that are always open, which might serve to ward off potential predators if he were in the wild.

We think Slate is mostly a Tabby/American Shortail mix, but when looking through some cat encyclopedias, he also has some traits of a Bengal tiger or cat, including a very long tail.

Taken with a Leica M8 in low-light, b/w, with a Summilux 35/1.4 @ 1.4, 1/500, ISO 1250.
