All six little kittens cooperated - for a short time - for this photo! The secret was the bench was off the ground, so they couldn't easily get down!

Oh my goodness! what a great creative, cute shot! not only are they all sitting, but how did you ever get all of them to look at you? #6229328Terri Beloit July 25, 2008
Debbra, Gail, Dominick, Mary, Martie, Denise, Caryolyn, Bojan and Donna...thank you all for your very kind comments! This was a challenge, but with two extra sets of hands, to get these little ones all on the bench and a "squeakie" to try and get their interest, we pulled this off. I have several, but this is the best with the most giving me their attention! They were a blast, but a challenge to photograph! #6229469Kathleen Rinker July 25, 2008
Fantastic image, I love their expressions!! #6229529Terri Beloit July 25, 2008

Oh yea! This is one of those rare photos where overexposure actually improves everything! The kittens have this radiant look that communicates "bundles of fun". Congrats on POTD selection. #6375484Beverly Belcamino August 27, 2008

Congrats Terri!! #6376637Toni Riggs August 27, 2008
This is the cutest thing I have seen in a awhile, congrats!!! How did you get them all to sit still? Did you catch them while they were all in deep sleep? That's the only time I can get my cat to do anything... pose him while he's fast asleep and snap the picture quick as he is waking up, lol! #6376728Cyn Valentine August 27, 2008
Adorable Terri COngratulations!! #6376747Janet Detota August 27, 2008
Being one who takes lots of photos of cats, I can attest to how challenging it is sometimes. This is one outstanding capture, and I can't believe it only made it to a finalist!! Guess the judges don't realize how tough pet photography can be. #6376773

Wow...I'm overwhelmed with everyone's kind words about my kitten photo...and was shocked to see it as the POTD! It's my first, so a real treat for me! You are all very sweet to leave such nice comments...and I really appreciate it!Ken...no I didn't super glue their butts to the bench, but not a bad idea if I ever get this chance again! We had them up off the ground on the bench used a little squeakie toy (a fish!) to keep their attention (or try!) focused in my direction!
Karol...hmm, not sure which one was the "cat in the hat" as I had a hard time keeping them together, let alone keeping track of who was who!
Carlton...great job in identifying their personalities...and you were probably pretty close with your analysis!
Again...taking the time to leave a comment on my photo...is something I truly appreciate...THANK YOU ALL!!! #6380895
