About Cats Picture of the Week

Smeagol

Smeagol, Photo Credit: © Karen Macdougall

Smeagol got his name from the character in The Lord of the Rings book. He was given to me by our neighbour, who had removed him from an abusive home. He was two weeks old at the time he came to live at my house. He was underweight, flea-infested and to be quite honest, not exactly an oil-painting at that time.

He has grown into a real tiger who loves hunting and playing. At this time he is almost 2 years old. Still loves to snuggle at night and suck on his pillow.

Cats Pictures of the Week are selected from general photo submittals. Smeagol's photo captured perfectly his cunning charm and beauty, and Karen's story about his rescue captured my heart.

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!
