This photo of me was pure luck. I was a kitten, probably about 5 months old, and while my human was taking pictures of me, I charged straight at the camera. How she got the focus right, and the manual flash and exposure correct, I’ll never know. She didn’t even have a digital back then. She was using an old-fashioned film camera.
My human sent the photo in to the annual magazine, Cats USA, for its contest for the 2004 issue… and it won First Place! When she got the check in the mail, she thought there was some mistake!
So from a very young age, I have been an award-winning supermodel. My human has taken lots of pictures, but only the ones with me in them ever win awards.

Wow, an award-winning photographer!!! Congrats– it is an excellent photo. How many cat toys did you buy with the prize money? 😉
My Fast post is up! I hope you have time for a fast visit! Have a great weekend.

I only got one toy, but it was a 5-foot tall cat tree! Plus, a year’s worth of cat food was part of the prize too.
Oh yeah that screams award winning all over it! Great shot!
Awesome shot! So pretty!
Hi Sparkle. We followed you from another blog. We came to see your fast picture. Very cool.
That is a fantastic shot! My Mommie has nothing like that of me! Well, you’re lucky to have a two-legged who really takes good care of you! And of course, you are a beautiful cat-girl too.
I am allowing my Mommie to post on my blog about her two-legged kits today. It is not about speed in the same way as your brilliant photo. Actually, it has something to do with a couple of snowmen!
