Having routinely taken pictures of kittens and cats for a local rescue group here in Los Angeles that have available for adoption I can tell you that it's hard to get a good photo. You don't live with these cats and don't have a lot of great photo ops. We try hard to get a cute photo for the web site so they will get adopted sooner rather than later. No snarling or grumpy looks!

I noticed that the site doesn't say the cats pictured are of any relation to the organization and link to the available cats page. Maybe they just want to show what a happy, well loved cat looks like? Their cause is good so I'd be inclined to cut them some slack. If they were using the picture for some commercial deal I'd hammer them!

The COTD picture of Peanut is terrific! She's quite beautiful.
