In photography you really just wanna make sure that the cat is properly exposed. Photo from my collection no info/date.
Black and white photo of a light skinned man wearing a plaid sports coach and watch in a skinny dark colored tie. He is looking down at a long-haired grey kitten that he cradles in his hands. The photo seems to be somewhat under exposed because the man’s skin tone is blown out, but the kitten looks perfect.

A mottled brown toad sitting in leaf litter! They have very rough looking skin covered in lots of spiny bumps! They have two slight ridges down the center of their head that are black in color!
