About Cats Picture of the Week

Rusty

Rusty

Cat is Rusty and more than any cat I've ever known he is two cats in one. I've got photos of him looking sweet and adorable but who doesn't have pix of their cats looking sweet and adorable? But if you want pictures of a cat tiptoeing on top of doors, rummaging around in the fridge (a few minutes after this shot), napping in the microwave, tearing the top of the closet apart looking for his catnip or the thigh high mess on the floor of our room after he couldn't wake me up with the usual pushing cds and records to the floor and resorted to more drastic measures - I've got tons of those too.

Known by many nicknames, some even printable, the two most appropriate are Rusty, The Orange Tornado and Rusty, The Midnight Rambler. Around midnight he just -- changes -- into the person Mick Jagger is singing about in the song of the same name.

Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. (I do not accept photos submitted specifically for "Cat Picture of the Week.") Rusty's picture is also featured in the December Cats Gallery.

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.
