Very cute, some good shooting there...
That's in the wild, I think they now have a couple of hundred in captivity. The idea for the breeding program is to re-introduce them back into their native habitat, eventually.

Nice cat shots
Its a shame that "mesh" always "gets in the way" of these though
number 1 the peice of wood looks as sharp as the cat if not sharper.
I would be inclined to either blur it or crop it out altogether
and the focal point seems a tad low were you using "multi point focus?
Single point is better if you were and aim for the eyes

Thanks for your comments guy's...Ian great shot of the snow leopard cub...Cobra, I was really struggling to capture her, really just beyond the range of the 300 + TC, correct about the multipoint, was struggling abit with single point to get a good shot (need more practice) so to get the shot reverted back :bonk: at least I'll have more opportunities to get better as Marwell just down the road.

Try setting your largest aperture (smallest number) in Aperture priority mode, get as close to the fence as you physically can, with the cat (could be anything really ) a good distance (front and back) from the fences, zoom in as close as possible, it should make losing the fence a little easier, as the large aperture gives a shallow depth of field watch the backgrounds for anything obviously man made also
