Description

I was very moved after viewing a photograph posted by another artist of his beloved cat who passed away accidentally. I have known other artists, myself included, who have lost loved pets who were part of our families and this is a tribute to you all. I still miss my dog and the way she trusted me completely. I've also had cats most of my life and this always made me laugh. Hope you smile too :)

I know exactly who inspired this and I think it's a wonderful image.

When we put our last dog to sleep 4 years ago, I felt a loss that I have never felt before. I can relate. This is a wonderful image! Animals bring so much to our lives, and require so little in return.

Bearaboo (chow) died almost three years ago and I must admit that I think about him almost every day. Our animal companions give so much it's difficult to ever repay that debt. Excellent artwork, Nancy. **

Nice composition and mood. Fantastic lighting. Great character and pose. I'm talking about the cat. 8-) He won't smile when the cat starts to scratch his head to soften it. 8-) Fantastic work. Vote.

I love this, it's just perfect to show the trust and affection between man and four-legged friend. I have a 10 year old grey tabbie who refuses to belive he's too big to do this very thing LOL.

A pet is very much like family. But for me also a man that has a cat says so much about the man. There is a gentleness about the man that is so much different than others. You pick up that quality in this mans eyes. But I happen to be a cat lover, I too had cats most of my life. Along with other varied animals. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
