Hey everyone,

I am an all around animal lover but I have had my cat for 11 years as of February 11th of this year. A while back I took a picture of my cat for a contest. The contest was for who's cat is the cutest to be used in an advertisement for bestfriends.org. Now I submitted a photo but u weren't allowed to upload a gallery photo it had to be taken with ur camera at that moment. So I put a picture of my baby rhino... Now everyone knows their child, and rhino has been my child for far too long. Anyhow I ended up at the Chicago Midway Airport last year and my cats photo was on a billboard at the airport. I know my cat but they photoshopped an extra black streak on his face. I know they did this so they could say it wasn't my cat like some way of getting out of giving me credit for winning the contest... But the picture is 100% my cat just photoshopped. And they took out the black spot above his eye. Somebody tell me I'm not crazy. I know how it sounds but I also know the picture I took. But go figure it didn't save to the camera roll only to their website. I swear it's my cat I just wish there was a way to prove it.

Did you get any letter or saying your cat was selected? Usually they announce the winner and let them know with a contract of sorts that your photo has been used.
is that the photo you sent to them? It’s a different angle if so.

I think a lot of black and white cats have very similar markings. I think if they were going to go to all the trouble of photoshopping your picture it would have been easier for them to use a photo of a different cat. The one in the billboard looks a bit like some cats and kittens I`ve TNR`d.
