About Cats Picture of the Week

Felix "helping" me make the bed. (Age 5 months) makes the housework take twice the time . . . Felix is a Domestic American Shorthair, neutered male; gray, white and buff stripes;

The litter of four were found in a dumpster, and all four kittens found good homes. We adopted Felix and his brother, Ajax, at 5 weeks. Both kittens are so affectionate, and have amazed us constantly with their antics, with Felix being the biggest clown. They play with everything and are so nosey. The most animated is the flying at each other to impact mid-air and then sumo wrestle. My constant companions, they also enjoy going out on the screened patio and chasing geckos (which they are not allowed to eat!). Give your kitten a box to play in, cut holes for entry and exit - better than any show.

Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. Felix's photo tugged a string in my heart, and I'm so happy he was rescued by someone who could see his charm, and who was willing to share it with my readers.

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.

Remember that not only the quality of the picture, but the care you take in describing your cat may make the difference in its being chosen as Cat of the Week!
