 Reenactment of Norma Desmond (played by Batgirl) looking gorgeously manic for the camera while Joe Gillis (played by brother OJ) looks on. (For you youngins out there, this is a famous line spoken by Gloria Swanson who played the part of a nutty has-been actress in the classic 1950 movie "Sunset Boulevard".)

On a side note, I did get four more kitties in to the vet to be fixed, the last two girls and first two boys. Three more boys to go. My vet clinic has been absolutely FANTASTIC and is giving me a sizable discount since they figured out I was fixing a dozen stray kittens :-) As a small way of saying thanks I'm planning to take them a big cake and some framed pictures of these kitties that they've helped to save when I take the last three in next week to be fixed.

Again I LOVE the processing, it really lights up their eyes. Beautiful & what a nice idea of framing some of the kitties for the vet!

Wow, the angles of the cats, plus shot from your prespective make these images so fabulous! I have no doubt you will get work from other people after seeing these images. They will want cool photos of their pets. Nice image....just love your series. I agree these would make a nice book.

I just LOVE your cat pictures :)I think giving photos to the vets is a good idea might even get you some business if they hang them on the wall

Colleen, I love the warm loved feeling I get when I see your cats. They look so content and happy. I can almost hear them purring. They really are very lucky to have found you.

I love it that you are taking some framed prints to your vet because your photos look like the kind of unusual, special framed photos I see at our vets office. They are going to love them!

Absolutely gorgeous shot. I love the perspective and editing. I think you're wonderful for taking in, loving and cherishing this furry family! (((hugs)))

instead of the framed prints make them a calender ...... be on the wall for a year and you have so many great pics to choose from.

As always, this is just outstanding. I love the slight saturation, which gives it so much dimension.

You are to be commended to getting all these cats fixed - that's a huge expense (even with discount, I'm sure) and a lot of dedication. I can imagine that the vet office will be thrilled to get a cake and some of our AWESOME photos!

Oh, and what Judy said - make a book. Book! Book! everbody! Book!

I swear you should make a book. The editing and point of view is always so "above and beyond." Wonderful.
