Pumpkin Nose
Uploaded: October 12, 2009
------
At a Fall Festival at Terhune Farm in Princeton, NJ, this little cat befriended me after I tripped over her. I bent down to "make up" with her and after a few caresses, she "adopted" me. Within minutes, I was head-over-heels in love. Can't stop thinking about her now...

I'm curious too. Did you take her home? Are you planning on going to find her? Just adorable, Michelle. #8030120Michelle Alton October 12, 2009
Well, I would have taken her home, but I believe she belongs to the farm. She certainly seemed at home there. Sigh. #8030146Jane E. Kirn October 12, 2009
What a great cat!!! You are right she looks like she may have a little "pumpkin nose". She can be more than just seasonal for you. Great photo Michelle. #8030190Ujjwal Mukherjee October 12, 2009

Terrific cat portrait, Michelle. I had one follow me around a botanical garden a couple of hours one day. She followed me all the way out to my car when I was leaving, but I couldn't take her home. I had 6 cats already! A few weeks later I saw her picture in a local newspaper. She was up for adoption at a local no-kill shelter. The shelter had named her Tulip! #8031822Tommy E.
