The entire setup of this photograph goes to show that, while taking photographs of pets is not an easy task for anyone, the results always pay off in the end.

The focus on this photograph mixes well with the closeness to the subject's face (especially with the little "coffee grounds" or whatever is dotted on the cat's nose). Everything that portrays what the cat is both doing and thinking is well presented.

When you look into the cats' eyes, you start to wonder - as the title rightly suggests - what the cat might be daydreaming or thinking about. This photograph of a cat relaxing, with a very contended, thoughtful look on its face, may well mean anything to those who see this photo.

What do you think?

This is amazing! You can see each strand of fur on this photo! The eyes are gorgeous too; I envy you for taking such an amazing photo! I couldn't take a photo with this much depth and sharpness to save my life. The lighting is perfect, too!
My favorite parts are the eyes and fur. You can see exactly which way the fur is moving, and the colors of the eyes.
The nose--you can see every hue of pink on the nose. It does give you that mood of daydreaming, of distant thoughts. The reflections in the cat's eyes can be a bit distracting to look at but, they also create the distant look of daydreaming.
Awesome photo; keep up the awesome photography
