Need Everyone's help!

[catnapper]

I made a commitment to make a coloring book for the rescue to give out at our next big event in May. Time is moving fast, and I need to get moving on drawing the pictures for the coloring book. What I want to do is a whole lot less complicated than I had originally intended - which was to show a dirty lost kitten, show it being found by a rescuer, show the shelter with its many cats, and show a foster home, etc. TOO complicated for a little kid. So all I am going to do now is draw scenes of cats doing... well... cat stuff.

I was thinking of making headlines on top of the page like
~Make sure kitty has lots of fresh water
~Cats need lots of playtime
~Be safe and use a carrier when you take kitty to the vet
~Cats love to hide (for this maybe a bag kitty?? Box kitty??)
and so on


What I need are photos of different cats doing cat things, and maybe a heading to go with it. I have tabbies covered ;) but I'm calling all kitties out there!

[catnapper]

Thats EXACTLY what I'm looking for!

I have one done -- let me know what you all think of it. I know the stripes make it look busy, but it was so boring without stripes! Thats why I want some non-tabbies or something to make some pictures easier for the littlest ones to color.

Kim you're welcome to use any and all of the pictures in my imagestation albums you want. I think you should show us some finished products. I know I would love to see pictures drawn by you of my furbabies.

LOL not that I MIND Remus getting into things hehe! *the lizard always lets Remus know when he is getting too close for comfort* Cats are naturally curious critters as I think everyone who is owned by a cat knows! Remus and Spook keep me on my toes and tell me when something isn't cat safe :D

I've got good safety inspectors!
