I think I'd probably choose black LA but we have dogs not cats and our babies noses are black! I'm sure someone with cats can confirm for you.

I'm with you Anne -- we are dog people and they have wissmach black noses this cat is proving the be rather difficult have the two eyes done and already having to cut a new piece for under the right eye -- glass is chipping rather wierd (think I had same problem last time I used this glass)... |

I was hoping you were here today Tre, thank you so much, gray it is!!! I just got beyond the eyes and now I am searching for tin snips hubby borrowed to cut reinforcing while I am thinking of it because the piece under the right eye is narrower than I like |

miracle of miracles -- I called him and he knew exactly where they were (he's lucky because he may have come home to changed locks)
here is what I have gotten done in about an hour... not going very well but it should get better because the pieces are bigger....

As a cat-mom, I'd say it's spot on, stripes are perfect..

YEAH -- I have had so much trouble with this gray glass that I didn't relish the thought of cutting any more of it today... I already have 2 band-aids (one on each hand)... thanks everyone for all your help, off to look for background and then start foiling... unless I just fall asleep right now, I should be able to get this done before Toni gets home from her grandparents' |
