The Minister's Cat was a ________ cat.


	The Minister's Cat was a ________ cat. This is my neighbors' cat who hates me (I am a cat lover and all cats love me but this one). I had to shoot her while I was hiding on my balcony with my arm stretching out over the ledge. We always use choice adjectives to describe her, which reminded me of a game my family used to play called "the minister's cat". Stand in a circle, clap to a beat, and take turns saying the phrase with an different adjective in alphabetical order. If you mess up you are out! Roseann E. Dreasher

How fun Roseann! What a game and what a shot with the game included. Different and unique, but with this black cat it looks like a great halloween shot!

Thanks Lori! I was going for a page-from-a-book kind of look with this image hence the three-hole punch and added printwork. The cat has these wonderful white whiskers which I hope show up ok in this shot. : )

Now this is CREATIVITY at it's best. I love it! The whiskers where infact the first thing I noticed when I looked at the cat.....they look great against the dark background. Has your neighbor seen this? What a unique gift for them. I agree with Lori...excellent Halloween shot! I look forward to seening more Roseann. ;o)

A wonderful image and story Roseann! A most ingenious and creative image, not to mention fun! Wouldn't it be nice if we did this for everyone who doesn't like us?

I think you're at the top of this cat's poopy-box list for sure, now that you've made a public display of her here on Better Photo. What if someone told her?! ; )

Thanks Charlotte, Suzie and Colleen!

Colleen, the cat hisses at me if I so much as look at her that's why I had to hide to get her shot. Geez, I now know what the paparizzi go through with movie stars and this was just a cat!

Roseann, roaming through galleries lets me "catch up" to the creative photos I've missed ---and this baby is one creative gem!!! Since you stopped at the "u' 's, may I suggest "The minister's cat was a very mean cat"?? Keep in mind I love cats, too! Sure hope this "labor of love" finds its way to the finals (and beyond) next month...

Thanks Mary. Your words are so nice! Unfortunately this kind of work generally doesn't "win" on this site for whatever reason. I entered it because it is a labor of love (like you said) and I thought some of you might enjoy it. : )
