Meowy Christmas

“This photo was taken in my basement while I was living in North Dakota with my ex-husband. The photographer kept asking me if the cat ( Toonces) was going to bite him? My answer was “yes he’s a cat , take the picture”. If you notice my ex was trying not to bust out laughing while I was keeping a death grip on Toonces!”

Cat Fight

“Every year we take our cats to visit Santa at PetSmart. Bella has done it for the last five years and last year was Bristol’s first year (we adopted him through PetSmart Charities that August). As soon as we got him close to Santa, he went crazy. Thanks to an attentive photographer, we got this photo. I’m not sure which makes me laugh more, Bristol’s reaction to Santa or the fact that Bella is not at all fazed by her brother’s reaction to him.”

Presented by PetSmart Charities

Congratulations to Renee and his winning caption:

Rex calmly accepted his fate when he realized that what awaits him couldn’t possibly be worse than being dressed in ridiculous outfits, fed the same bland meals day after day, and being kept on a short leash…… The dog wasn’t too worried either.

And special recognition goes to Scott and his runner up caption of:

Take me to your breeder.
