Before I introduce our cat in the spotlight, just wanted to remind everyone to visit our special guest forum dedicated to litter box problems -

Litter Box Questions with Marilyn Krieger

Cat behaviorist Marilyn Krieger will be available for questions for four more days, so make sure you post yours on time!

And now to our very special cat in the spotlight: Scotty

I cam across this beautiful picture of Scotty in our June photo contest thread :

Scotty is one of two cats living with our forum member emrldsky and here’s what she posted in his name on his page -

I am a large kitty, but please don’t call me fat. I’m just big-boned (even the vet says so!). I can be sensitive, and sweet, but I often come off as hungry and irritated. I love my mom and dad a lot, but I tend to snuggle with my mom more. Dad is ok with that.

More about Scotty on his cat page here.

One of my favorite forums in our community is “Fur Pictures and Videos Only”, where members share visuals (and sometimes soundtracks too!) of their precious furbabies. Every now and again we get a special theme thread in there, especially now with our monthly themed contests (thanks to our Contest Contessa, Heidi (aka valanhb on the boards).

One specific contest which I thought had absolutely stunning pictures is the cat eyes photo contest. Some amazing close-ups on cat eyes which really show up the beauty of this unique feline feature. I’m going to share the pictures that got the most votes here, but do yourself a favor and visit the thread to see the rest! Pretty much every member that had to vote mentioned just how hard it was making a choice!

Here are the most voted for pictures so far -

Gigi the gorgeous calico-tabby with the calico pattern reflected in her eyes :

Nikita the green eyed silky Bengal -

Sweet odd-eyes Smudge -

Are these pictures gorgeous or what? Cat eyes are a fascinating thing. They’re not just beautiful either. In fact, we have an article just about that on the site right here : A Cat’s Eyes – Windows To The Soul
