Would anyone know if these photos are of a particular style? Is there a certain name with this type of look? It's very a good collection, simple but moving shots. The style gives you the sense that you are right there as the photo is being taken.

It's called Monochrome photography Deepwater6.

Black-and-white photography is considered more subtle and interpretive, and less realistic than colour photography.[1] Monochrome images are not direct renditions of their subjects, but are abstractions from reality, representing colours in shades of grey.

Thanks Laurie, He probably isn't that close to all those cats, he must be using some sort of zoom lens to make it look that way right?

Yes Deepwater6, or he could have used a remote camera. One of the most effective features of B/W photography is that contrast can be used to create an ominous and eerie atmosphere.
