Oh, I just love your shots from the rest home with the cats. They are so emotional. Thanks for sharing another one of them with us!

Very nice... love how you left the handle there. It's like we can reach out and pick up the mug and start drinking!

Really nice photo! I think it says a lot about the comfort they get from each other and how it is a mutual appreciation, well done!

Wonderful compositon and DOF, and love the grainy background. Almost feels like both are purring! Thanks for sharing.

Cadi is providing some of the best therapy that is available at a rest home. Here in California at least there are very strict requirements before an animal can be brought to an assisted care home, but sometimes there is a cat that lives there and visits the guests. The guests react very well to those visits.

Shallower DOF, to have less destractions in the background.

So sweet! The hands and the obvisouly contented cat are great!!

I visit a nursing home every week with one of my 2 certified Wolfhounds. Some weeks are kind of ordinary, but some weeks that visit makes someone's day and all I did was bring my dog to get petted! For some reason cat owners don't stay with the program very long; I wonder if the local shelter would be interested in letting some of their pets go visiting? Some of the shelter cats are so mellow they could cope with just about anything. Thanks for the idea :-)
