I am Pif. My favourite activity is playing with a paperball (which is, by the way, what I was doing when this picture was taken). Being a tortoiseshell, people tended to consider me ugly when I was little. With this picture I aim to show them how wrong they were. - © Geanina Jinaru

Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. (I do not accept photos submitted specifically for "Cat Picture of the Week.") Pif's picture was submitted for the Tortoiseshell Gallery, and I had to agree that she couldn't possibly be called ugly. Just look at those eyes.

You may send your own photo, 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 within those parameters.
