Ravishing

Photo taken in July, 2013 @ Allwetter Zoo Münster, Germany

I've seen the Asiatic Golden Cat a couple of times so far, and I must say, every individual seems just to be more gorgeous than the one I saw before.
Just look at this guy - I know to some people's standards, this probably isn't the best close-up, because I failed to get his whole ears in the photo - but that face, the nose, the coloring, the dark eyes... I almost swooned when he got this close, and sat in front of the window looking at us, practically inviting us to take a photo of him. Get his best side, too, which was nearly every side.
