Pet of the Month

[nekosensei]

This morning I got a phone call from my vet informing me that Cosette had won Pet of the Month. Every time I go in there, I enter her name in the contest and this time she won. Part of the package is that she gets her picture in the paper and a little blurb describing her.

So...dear friend's list, this is where I ask you for help. Which picture should I submit?



Picture #1:



Picture #2:




And here's the little description I wrote:

"When I went looking for a cat 14 years ago, I didn't pick Cosette out. She picked me. I opened up her cage door and she jumped into my arms and my heart. I named her after a character in the musical, Les Miserables, because the white stripe running down her nose made her look like a sad orphan.

Cosette is fond of tuna, catnip, and long naps in patches of sunlight."

Yay Cosette!

I can click to see pic 2, but I can't see anything (or a link) for pic 1...

I screwed up my html again. It should be fixed now.

[lark_ascends]

Piccie 1, I think.

Ha, they're like mug shots. Full face and profile. I agree - go with pic one.

Congrats to Cosette! Go for #1!

Number two. It's different and fancy at the same time. Plus in the first one her mouth looks funny or mad. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Heheh, nah; torties always look a little grumpy - it's part of their appeal :)

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

That's because torties usually ARE a bit grumpy. :)

[gipsy-dreamer.livejournal.com]

LOL true! Sort of like "I'll make out as though I like you when *I* feel like it" heheh :)

It should be 1 because it shows just how lovely she is, but 2 is great!
2 is the "I vant to be alone. No photos please." photo that I believe all cats should have.
;)
Congrats Cosette.

Pic one. And she does look like a Cosette!

Pic 2, cats are too self important to give you their complete attention.

[gipsy-dreamer.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely go for the first one - it shows off her beautiful emerald eyes!

My Tortie had a blaze along her nose too, but her fur was rose and gold rather than that stunning smokey grey and silver.

Cosette is beautiful; congrats to you both :)

Aw...thanks! Everybody who looks at pictures of Cosette tells me that she has such pretty eyes. I remember my vet commenting that not only are they a beautiful shade of green, but they also have a nice oval shape to them.

Maya's were like that too - almost perfectly round. I was looking for a cat at the Animal Shelter as I'll rescue animals when I can if I want a pet, and in one cage I saw a stunning pair of eyes looking at me from underneath the sleeping area before this beautiful Tortie stepped out and came to sniff my hand!

I have no idea why somebody wasn't falling all over themselves to claim her if she'd gone missing from their home; as far as I know she's still alive and my ex still has her (although she must be at least ten by now).

Aww, so sweet! Grats to you and Cosette! :-D

I'd choose the first pic b/c it shows more of her lovely face.

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[bibliofilen.livejournal.com]

I vote for pic nr 2.

[ceitnicangus.livejournal.com]

I pick number 1 -- so pretty!

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Pic #1 just rivets you with those EYES... but I suspect it will be a B&W pic in the paper?

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks! Actually, the picture came out today and it was in color.

[ladyfox7oaks.livejournal.com]

Color! WooHOO!
