Mono Monday - Portraiture 2

This is my feeble attempt to follow the brief for today's Mono Monday challenge.  The cat I use as a pen pot was drafted in to be the model.  I lit him from the side with a table lamp tilted downward slightly, a magnifying class was also involved.  Realised after I had done it that the magnifying glass was a mistake as it showed up every bit of dust (even though I dusted it before starting.)
Thank you AnnieBelle for hosting.
