Trouble is such a lovely girl. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I lost mine to cancer after having him for 15 years. I will keep the memories of him with me. Your story brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing a beautiful picture, reminds me of my Chee chee with the tiger markings like Trouble.

I am actually sadden by the story and to hear that she had to be out to sleep. Trouble seemed like a nice cat and she looked like the barn kitty I had met at the Longstreet Farm.

I am sure she would be remembered for long times to come. Thanks for sharing.

Trouble was a beautiful cat. Her eyes matched her fur just perfectly! She sounds like she was a wonderful cat and I know she will be sorely missed. I like her position in this photo like she doesn't have a care in the world. Good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful kitty. Her colors are so pretty and those eye! Well they are just great. You have caught her in a soft relaxed mood that does show how comfortable she was with her people. I am so sorry that she has passed on.

This is areally cute cat, I think if you edited the thing it is laying on by darkening it or something it would look better, maybe if you cropped around his face and rotated it vertical it would look cooler.

Hi T, I had a feeling some people would not recognize that Trouble was resting her head on the arm of my sister-in-law. I'm sorry I didn't put that in my notes. I can't really darken the arm or rotate the picture because of that. Having such complete love and trust in people is what made this picture so special. I know you are trying to help, but I have to keep the picture the way it is. :o) Thank you for taking the time to look at my photo, I really appreciate it. :o) helvi h

Good stuff Helvi!
I have a cat who is just like that one. The first one to sit down and get comfy is the first one that will end up with "Phil" on their lap! I'll take a shot of him sometime and share.

It's so sad when we lose a pet.

You're so sweet!

p.s. I loved your self portrait!

I'm not so much a cat person, lol, but I sometimes see a cat that for some reason I really like. I like this one. Good photo and like the colors and cool expression on the face. Nice photo and enjoyed the look!!
