We are always happy to get photos of kittens and cats from our family of subscribers. In order for them to look as good as possible online, we need your help.
These guidelines apply to all photos submitted for any reason: Cover, our Gallery of Fabulous Felines, Getting to Know..., My Favorite Cat Photos, articles-stories-poems, Rainbow Bridge, something new, or anything I forgot.
The standard JPG format is best for our purposes
If you want to reduce the original size to about 600 x 600 pixels, that's fine
If you're shooting just for us, please turn off your camera's automatic dating feature. It detracts from the photo and sometimes it can't be edited out without hurting the pic.
Please do not edit or "enhance" the photos - no frames, captions, whatever. Doing so just makes whatever adjustments are necessary (if any) harder - or impossible - to do.
Send us two shots for each cat whenever possible and please identify the cats.
Include your notes** about your cat(s) as the text of your email. Please put Gallery, Favorites, Cover, or Bridge as the Subject, so we know why we're getting the pictures.
For the Rainbow Bridge, please include the relevant dates
** Let past issues be your guide for what you write.
Please send your photos as attachments to your email, not in the body of the message. Mail to
(Again, I show the address this way top make it harder for the spammers' robots to get it.)
