Reader Stories: Valentine Cats Show and Tell

By , About.com Guide

If you "Heart" your cat (and who doesn't?) you may want to create a Valentine Photo featuring your favorite furball. You may submit your Valentine Cat photo by filling out a simple form and uploading up to two photos.

Enjoy this Valentine Cats Show & Tell Gallery, then submit your own Valentine Cat pictures. I only ask that your cat be the center of attention, and not overwhelmed by excess fancy background art.

Buttercup, Patrick, and Barry

I did not use any particular holiday-themed decorations to create this shot. The primary editing I did was with iPhoto on my Macintosh. I used iPhoto to crop the original photo to get within the size…More

Peep (RIP) and Princess

I used just a basic hearts frame and text box, from a program called PrintMaster. It's a very old program, but it fits my needs! So I still use it. As for the photo, it was a very natural picture, no…More

Princess

I used a Nikon digital camera and imported it into iPhoto. I didn't do any editing as apart from iPhoto, I don't have any photo editing software. I guess I might not qualify for your gallery, but I t…More

Rogue and Zora

None. This picture was taken with my iPhone while these two were snuggled on my lap. Usually, there are three kitties on my lap, but this winter afternoon, there were only two. My lap and the bed are…More

Bandit and Molly

There were no graphics used in the making of this photo. Just a new electric christmas bed from Santa Paws. I am really not quite convinced if this is love or a case of I'm not leaving so let's make …More

Tonto and Skittle

None. I feel these two are photogenic enough that I didn't need to jazz it up - besides, I'm too lazy to learn how to use any photo editing software and access the border or graphics capabilities. I …More

Aliss and Godzookie, Valentine Pals

This picture and graphics added were done in Photodraw. I have photoshop and Elements, but this program is so fast and easy, I love it. Chucki does not need editing really, the camera loved him and I…More

Buddy and Sweetpea

Irfanview and Picassa were used to frame and edit the photo. The cats posed themselves and were very cooperative. It just looked like Sweetpea was whispering in Buddy's ear and it must have been a Va…More
