Ah, but there is a way.  It involves a standard photoflood, a piece of 18%
grey cloth, and a grey cat with black stripes.  

Method:  Seat cat on cloth.  Backlight cat with photoflood.  Take picture,
including photoflood in frame.  On resulting transparency, observe contrast
between gray and black stripes on cat.
