Well, that more up to her, of course (she tends to have three mood - 
"shy/sluggish/curled up", "active/exporing/doesn't sit still", and 
"hungry" - the third is the most uncooperative)

As just a quick test, I took another photo I had which is from a 
different angle (and thus hopefully more correct shadow), though she 
is pointing away, but it takes up a bit less room on the image, 
making it potentially easier to combine with other elements.  Since 
it was a quick preview, it doesn't have transparency either (and 
needs a bit of retouching)

The first reduces halfways OK down to 32x32, though this one get a 
bit muddier...

If you need larger images for the website, let me know the dimension 
and I'll see what I can do (assuming, of course, people actually like 
the "photo-realistic" version)
