Interestingly enough, I've had this cat on my desktop for awhile. It strolled into a wedding I was at a few weeks back, and it was so torn up, I had to divert my attention from the bridal festivities and watch this cat. I didn't photoshop those eyes, those are exactly how they look. I'm sure you could see why I was strangely fascinated. Anyway, just last night I was thinking, I need to do something with this cat picture. And alas, here's Photo Friday to help me out. Mom, sorry for not putting your precious cats up.
Here's a total aside:
This cat totally reminded me of one of our cats growing up, Josh (we also had a Bruno at that time, interesting that a tiny little me would name two cats to sound like hired thugs. what a weird kid). We lived up in the forerst to a degree, and over time that cat slowly when slightly feral. He'd disappear into the woods for days and weeks at a time. He always seemed to come back more wrecked than the last, and usually when mom and dad were throwing a big party. The cat would come limping up on 3 legs, way more torn up than this cat, meowing this awful screeching meow. Drawing LOTS of attention. As an adult, I'm sure this is much more mortifying. When I was younger I just remember being so happy that Josh was home! Mommy! Mommy! All assembled! Josh is home!! Classic.
EDITED TO ADD: Attention cat-people who want to send me enraged comments or emails about this shot. Before you get your underwear in a bundle, and fire off an angry comment, please read this post (click here to read it) explaining the entire situation, which I've composed because so many people get so ridiculously angry seeing this photo. So before I get another angry, self-righteous letter from people defending the cat and debasing me, please read the other post before commenting. If, after you've read that, you still want to leave a nasty comment, then please do.
Wow, I think that cat's eye is so cool looking, but unfortunaely it's probably injured. How sad. Unleash fury and scratch who ever hurt your eye little kitty!

your an idiot
instead of finding the cat FASCINATING you could have put it in your car and to take it to a vet. your guilt was the one that was drowing your atention to the picture. the fact is that you are just a small superficial bitch that wants to LOOK like she is somekind of good photographer. face it honney you're just a wannabe...

This cat is gravely ill, and will probably lose his sight. The discoloration is from a feline variety of the herpes virus (harmless to humans). You jackass...you got close enough to the cat to photograph it, yet couldn't be bothered to try to help it. Since when is a diseased animal "freaky" and cool? I hope like hell you never have pets or children...your lack of compassion, responsibility and empathy is astonishing. Heaven forbid YOU reproduce!

Come on guys, it wasn't her pet it someone else's cat. She doesn't need to take someone else's cat anywhere. So you guys need to back off and go mind your own business!

Maybe you guys an offer to send a donation to help Kelly out with this little cat problem you guys are upset about. You can put her name right there on the check, maybe even leave it blank. If anything else it will pay for the trouble you've been giving her for no real reason.

I find it amazing that you found the time to take pictures of this cat, and post them on your web page, and use this cat to relate to stories of how cute and funny, and hahaha weird you were as a child. How utterly self absorbed. Did you even CONSIDER checking out what this person's story was? Yes by person I mean, the cat... Anyone who would let anything looking "torn up" not only walk on by, but become a tool for masturbating their self-absorbtion, without offering them any help... is a truely sad existence.
