Love Kitty
This is our sweet kitty, Hershey Kisses. I named her that because she loves to give kitty kisses and when I first found her she was the color of white chocolate. This photo was snapped on a whim, just as she was waking up from one of her many naps.

Ever since I was a child, animals have been my passion. My one real dream in life is to someday open my own animal sanctuary. As it is now, I only wish my home were as big as my heart. When I’m not caring for strays I’m working on designs for various animal rights issues. This photo is one example of something I have used on several products, including stamps, with the text “Save a life… adopt!” to promote pet adoption. Animals and their welfare are something I take very seriously; and in the past people have said it’s my religion. I can’t argue with that.

Fantastic closeup – I like the way you’ve framed it so there are many parts that the eye settles on (eyes, nose, fur colour) while at the same time keeping a really good depth of field.

Thanks everyone!! And thanks Berndt2 for the detailed comment!

I can almost smell her cat breath… lol… too cute!
Crockpot replied
Heehee… she doesn’t really have cat breath, believe it or not! But if you really got that close to her face, she’d probably give you a kiss. :)
