Explore Cats photos and their photographers

This category is dedicated only to our feline friends – cats, and we welcome photos of all shapes, sizes and breeds of cat. Remember – if the cat isn't your pet, then please get permission from the owner/s, before entering photos to this website, and also remember not to play 'dress-up' with your pets. Have fun with your photos but respect your pet!
