Cat Picture of the Week: Rosie

Saturday July 15, 2006
Rosie. She likes to hit the jackpot when it comes to sleeping. Like she did in this folded up duvet on the dining room table.

I like this photo because the softness of the folded duvet against her face gave Rosie an almost ethereal look.

Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. You may submit your own cat photo by using the guidelines on the Photo Submittal page. Be sure to write a paragraph or so about the cat, at least two or three sentences. Our galleries have space for 2500 characters, including spaces, so don't be afraid to tell us about your cat!

You have a wonderful looking cat! She sounds like my cat I had before. His name was Jackson. I love the jet black coloron her, and her green-yellow eyes. My cat died of kidney failure.

You know what? At first I never saw her. I was standing behind the duvet at the side of the table moving around some books which were in front of the duvet. All of a sudden I see this paw extend out from the duvet and rest on my hand. Well, the camera came out and the rest is history!!

One of my cats likes to climb into the pillowcase. I didn’t know until one day when I went to bed and moved the pillow. He scared me and I scared him. Now I know BEFORE I move the pillow to look for a little foot sticking out. They are just something, those cats of mine!! I would send a pic but it would just be a foot!! LOL

Janet, I may very well some day start a photo gallery of “cat parts.” We’re always taking pictures of our Billy’s tail hanging luxuriously down from our upstairs balcony area.

I LOVE this picture. It really does capture the cat’s little personality, AND she looks a lot like my 3 year old cat Lizzie looked when I first got her at age 1. Great picture!

Interesting that it is a black cat. From what I have seen with black cats (and yours looks so much like my Onyx), they LOVE to be under covers where ever there is a blanket. My mom is fostering a black cat at the moment, and that cat does the same thing…burrows under the covers of her bed. Neither one of us can have the cats sleep with us because they park themselves right in between our legs under cover and we can’t move.
Very cute picture though. I could have taken many pictures like this of my Onyx. ;-)

What a darling! We have 2 cats, whom we adore, rejoicing in the names of Lilliepooks and BitsyBit. Now that the children are all grown, we do indeed think of them as our babies. And love them excessively!

I have a little boy that looks just like Rosie. I started with one and I now have eight. Each one is special.
