This auction starts to be unbearable, there is so many cat photos, they so are gorgeous and I must make harsh choices, which upsets me. It's heartbreaking but I must try to turn off my emotions somehow and continue the elimination, there is no way out at this point... Only 2 days left, maybe I will manage to the end of the auction.
lucky 7 - this is kitten. Please don't post kittens, it kills me.
Boon Lived - your cat is marvelous, the tail, the pose, the face... you are close but it doesn't beat Balthasar photo although your cat is absolutely stunning, and yes you can post different photos of the same cat or post different ones.
Doctor Who - the panther is interesting twist but not good enough to outbid Balthasar. Also read the rules again please, only the last photo matters.
Nomad - your kitty is absolutely beautiful, the fur is wonderful but the photo doesn't outbid Balthasar.
Dendito - it's a very nice pair of cats but it's not enough to outbid Balthasar.
Kalisto, gauvaran - did you read auction rules? Only one photo matters (the last one you posted). Anyway, both of your bids don't beat Balthasar's bid, sorry (they are wonderful cats though, the family and the ginger cat are both sweet).
Elvis - this is gorgeous cat portrait, but I'm afraid it's not enough to outbid Balthasar.
What I like about Balthasar bid is that the cat is busy doing own things, not just "idling" or posing to the camera. The cat is clearly curious about something but we don't know what it is, because it's out of the camera view. Maybe a bird? Or a kite? We will never know... but it's a good glimpse of a moment. The photo is intriguing and it has some "photojournalism" qualities, it's not just a family portrait.
