These poor animals, I do the same thing to the cats and the dog if I see them snoozing anywhere and they're so cute you just have to. But then they start up the almighty purring (in the case of the cats) or the tail wagging (the dogs) and that's even cuter. Least they can sleep whenever so it's not like they're too deprived XD

I'm impressed you made black and white photography work, I can barely paint in grayscale (I think the only reason I know how to is because I've done light and shadow in greyscale previously but even now I mostly do it in colour) and photography is beyond me.

_{I'm a bit addicted to colour}

I didn't find the cafe pic boring or dull, but mostly because I was busy looking at the contrasts and reflections which I feel really come into their own when you remove most of the colour :)
