Senior Cats vs Blue Cats

By , About.com GuideJanuary 9, 2010

Follow me on:

I've noticed an influx of new subscribers to my "Golden Years" email tutorial on the care of senior cats. This is very hopeful news to me because it means that more people are adopting senior cats. What I really need today, though, are more photos of senior cats. Whether you've just recently adopted a senior cat or your cat has passed that magical age of 10 years, you can submit his or hers photos by following the Photo Submission Guidelines.

Why the sudden interest in senior cat photos? Simply put, I'm seriously considering switching photo calendar for January from blue cats to senior cats, as I likely won't have enough blue cat pictures to create a gallery. I'm going to let my readers help me with the decision by sending photos of either senior cats or blue cats. In either case, please pay particular care to the "story" submitted with the photo. My cat pictures of the week are usually chosen from the gallery featured that month, and "ties" will most often go with the most compelling story.

So honored to see my photo in your newsletter. I was reading it thinking that the kitty looked familiar, and low and behold I got to the credits and saw my own name!!
