It just had to happen... ;)

Rules are as follows;

  • photos must be taken by you, with your own camera
  • they must be of kitties or submissions will be rejected
  • all photos must have a short title, no more than 12 words. Additional narrative is OK.
  • they must be taken TODAY or AFTER today. No drumming up your old kitties pics please
  • Competition will finish on Wednesday 2nd January 2007 12:00 GMT
  • photos can be nice, cute, technically correct, or just fun - whatever you want, so long as the subject is kitties
  • image size must not exceed 800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high if landscape, or 600 pixels wide and 800 pixels high if portrait
  • Judging will be by a panel, to be appointed, but no judge can vote for their own photos
  • Judges decisions will be final



Please submit your kitties photos for competition

May the best kitties win :)

I just love it they way they walk all over my desk and shelves with still-tacky photos and nudge my USB pens into the waste bin :)

Stay in, or go out?

I get tormented to let them out, which we don’t usually do in winter, and when I open the door they just sit there leaving me to freeze as all the heat goes out of the room. It’s lovely having kitties :)

Nice kitty. Andrea (Wife) thinks he/she is gorgeous!

Will other posters be allowed to pass comments on photos?

Oh yes, absolutely, definitely encouraged. All helps to decide which are most popular and deserve recognition, commendation, praise and cuddles :)

My thanks to Andrea. Indy is a Siamese he, Tiffany the Burmese a she. I took the photos this morning thinking that I have to take a couple to start off this competition. It's impossible to get cats to pose and more of a matter of luck to catch them in a decent pose. This morning I was lucky. This is the very first photo I took this morning which I am giving the title of

"Puss nearly in Boots"

They say that the post important thing about portraits are the eyes, and I'm always happy when I get some of that wonderful blue of Indy's eyes

Don't worry, you get extra points for trying to get your cat to pose :)
