Famous for eating us out of house and home, snoozing on his favorite woobie, and freeing the surrounding yards of chipmunks and mice, here is Theodore the Conqueror (or so he thinks anyways…)

Here are a few more cat pictures that were entered into the contest for October.

These first three cute kitten pictures were sent in by Jung Park. Who could resist these sweet faces?

This next picture was sent in by reader Rachel. This is her cat Weezer…

I am getting some of the cutest cat and kitten pictures ever sent to me for the October contest/giveaway. Winners are being chosen today by the way. But before I do that, I wanted to share with everyone some of these great reader entries. All of the entries I’ve gotten are so adorable, it’s going to be so hard to choose winners!

Here are some fabulous professional-looking kitten pictures from reader Yvonne Lee. These pictures are so perfect - Yvonne must have a photography background!

The next entry comes from reader Nicole Lasorda. She humorously referred to this picture as “synchronized sitting!”

Next up we have the adorable kittens of reader Kat Palmore.

And last but not least, where would we be without fluffy Persians to give us discontented glares? Check out this big girl, Mia, from reader Smith (what a clever last name ):

Stay tuned to find out who the winners of the October contest/giveaway are!

Wags and Purrs,

So I wanted to start sharing some of the contest entries I’ve been getting for the October cat toy giveaway. Some of the pictures I’ve gotten are simply adorable! Here is just a handful of them (more to come next week). If you want to enter your cat in the contest, email your best cat pictures to me at thoughtsfurpaws@gmail.com.

This is Bob, the 18-pound Manx cat from my friend Sharon at Chasing Squirrels with Rusty. I’m pretty sure this cat is twice the size of sweet little Rusty! I LOVE this picture because number 1, I LOVE fat cats, and number 2, I also have a pudgy cat who loves to squeeze into boxes smaller than he is, and I think it is so funny.

Next up we have another big sweetie, the always-precious Daisy the Curly Cat. I LOVE Daisy (I visit her blog regularly also) because she is the epitome of feminine feline: frisky, playful, curious, sweet, loving, and totally in control. Daisy is always so good when her Mommie dresses her up, and I can never handle how good she is at posing for pictures. It’s simply amazing how tame she is! Here is a sweet picture of little Daisy:

Finally today, we have a photo contest entry from our other good friend Mr. Hendrix. We adore Hendrix because he is sassy, sweet, and smart and sometimes snarky. We also have a special place in our hearts for black cats because of our little love, Sasha. Hendrix’s blog posts always make us laugh out loud. Here is a great picture of Mr. Hendrix watching TV. (We can’t believe he watches TV, we think it’s hilarious!) His beans bought him a “ cat sitter video!”

I’ll be back next week with some reader entries. Stay tuned!

It’s time for the cute kitten pictures of the week! I always go to Webshots to find these, there are tons to choose from. I have a hard time picking out the perfect kitten picture every week since there are so many there.

This little kitten looks like he/she is wedged between a window being opened and closed, playfully though. The face on this little one is just too cute and the photographer did a great job of capturing the personality of the kitten, using the light correctly, and portraying felines for what they are: frisky and playful.

These pictures are from user bunnyfunny’s Cats album. See all the cute cat pictures in this album or cruise around the Webshots Kittens Category, Cats Category or Pets Category pages.

What is Theodore really thinking as I shot this cute cat picture?

I think he is thinking things like:

“Wait, this is my good side”
“Must you always be following me?”
“Can’t you see I’m busy right now?”
“Unless you have food, leave me alone.”

What do you think Theodore is thinking as he tries to ignore my picture-taking presence? Leave me a comment and let me know and you could win a new cat toy!

It’s time for the cutest kitten pictures of the week! I love this day…

This week from Webshots we have a sweet little tabby cat, curious as ever.

This cute kitten picture is from the Kittens album of user “pansaram” on Webshots.com. Webshots has tons of cute kitten pictures. Check out their Kittens category, Cats category or the Pets category for more adorable cat pictures.

Here are a few shots of Theodore and what he did with his weekend…

Doesn’t he look cute laying down by all the flowers? It makes his green eyes look so pretty I think…

By this point, he has his ears back and is ignoring me…

Then he thought he was a dog for a few moments…
