I mean the definition 4, just in case.

My new digital camera is claimed to be able to focus on a cat automatically.

To my surprise, the camera can even discriminate between cats and dogs.

I wonder how it would see the difference between Scottish Folds and Pugs, or Siamese and Chihuahuas, though.

Since I got it, I have been trying to find cats any time I go out to see if the function works with my skills, and how it works if there are two cats, with no success so far—local cats hate me so much that they run away from my sight while I take out the camera from the case and fumble it.

I think there is an eternally unreachable distance between me and Mr Iwago who catches cats at their prettiest moment.
