| | | Re: Cat in a basket Hi Palms thanks for the cute kitty to work on.
Janet yours is really nice, I like the way you cropped it nice and close, it give it more emphasis on the cat.
here is mine, I tried to add some antique cracks but I think they need more work. |

| | | Re: Cat in a basket Cool cat
My cat IGGY has several baskets, numerous beds, 2 condos and any number of cardboard boxes that have happened our way.
Where does he choose to park himself - if available - a shoe box that he basically only gets about half of his butt into.
