Aww... they make me think of my own cat. ^^ He's two, now. Stumbled upon our property when he was a teenager...

Great shot... I adore cats. <3

Thanks. I hardly check dA now so really makes me smile to find I can still get some nice comments here.

And yea, I adore them too. Got some more pics to add sometime when life finally stops being so hectic.

No wonder this picture made it to the top ten; the kitties are really cute and the composition is great

I'm so greedy though. Really wanted the print account offered to the winner! But I was very surprised to get as far as I did in such a well publicised competition so I'm still quite happy about it.

But seriously, those kittens were wonderful to photograph. They deserve it even if I don't. Most cats I've come across make it very difficult for you to get a good shot with the eyes open wide. These though... They were perfect!
I wish so much that I could have taken those cats back home with me to give them somewhere to stay (they were semi-homeless street cats), but it was in a different country, so no way I could...

That's natural; everyone secretly hopes to win the first prize But I'm glad you're satisfied with the top ten; it really is a great achievement among so many other contestans!

Yes, most cats doesn't seem to like the camera at all A shame that they're homeless; I really hope they managed..

Yea, it was a holiday resort and people were always stopping to pet and feed them and it seems that a local shopkeeper kept a watch on them from time to time, but they still had nowhere to actually live. I really hope they're ok. My parents are flying out there again in September so I've demanded they go check if they're still about.

Me too. Though chances are the kittens will have grown up and moved on anyway.

What an adorable picture of adorable kittens. I'm amazed that you could actually capture them in a decent pose. I tried to take a portrait of my cousin's insanely cute black lab, but all I could get a picture of was her nose in the camera.

Red-Wraith In reply to ScreamIfYouLikeIt [2006-03-02 00:14:34 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean... My own black cat just will not pose for the camera. Any attempt to photograp her results in images of tail, nose, tip or ear or backside... She just waits until the last possible moment and then moves. That's why I like taking photos of other people's cats instead.

ScreamIfYouLikeIt In reply to Red-Wraith [2006-03-02 01:45:53 +0000 UTC]

you gotta catch 'em when they're sleeping. To get a shot of the friendly cat that hangs around my grandma's farm, I had to get really far ahead of her, then kneel down and call her to me. Took about 15 tries to get a decent one. I should put some more pics on DA.

Only problem is that if they're sleeping you can't get the eyes. And for some reason I usually prefer shots of cats with the eyes open wide.

Mine doesn't either. That's why I always take photos of other people's cats instead.

Those kittyies look british
Love them, I have a cat of my own (the one you saw in my gallery) but he looks Israeli.
haha...

Great shots!

Hehe, well I promise you they were Spanish cats, not British. I took the whole series of photos while in Ibiza. But cats are usually great no matter where they come from.

These three cat pictures are so adorable! But then, I love pictures of young cats, so I'm biased!

Red-Wraith In reply to Tsatsayka [2005-10-04 21:03:00 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I've always loved cats. My own black terror isn't very photogenic but the three cats in these photos were real posers when they saw my camera. I have about a hundred photos of them, not to mention videos as well... Still debating how many of the pics I should put up here, but either way these three won't be the only ones.
