Demelza in abpa. I am just learning how to use my camera--it is a Nikon
4300. When I put the "red eye out" flash feature on, I get those chatreuse
glowing eyes. Do you know how I would set it to have the cats look directly
at me and not have weird eyes?

Basically, you can't reliably - at least with the onboard flash of a
P&S camera. You can:

i) Get an external flash (if available) - bouncing the flash off a
nearby wall will reduce redeye.
ii) Avoid using flash by either increasing the ISO value of your shots
(with increased noise, alas), or using a slower shutter speed (with a
risk of blurry pix).
iii) Remove the redeye in software.
iv) Somehow pursuade the cat to look at the camera at the critical
point when redeye reduction is in effect (ha! Good luck!).

My inability to get non-redeye cat pix with my P&S camera was one
reason I upgraded to something better than said P&S.
