I need your photos of cats looking out of windows. And I need them now!

[thecatneuterer]

Our rescue has a semi regular column in the local paper. This week's one is on cats in flats. To illustrate it we need photos of a cat/s looking out of a window. And the deadline is tomorrow.

I'm sure someone here has just the thing ...

Look at all these precious kitties!!! I love how obliging people have immediately been

[quote ThisIsMyKitty]@thecatneuterer I’m probably too late but your thread was just forwarded to me[/quote]
Those paws!! 🥰🥰🥰

@SalsaLove Oh yes! I hadn't noticed. She's wearing grey cashmere socks

I can’t resist joining in, although mine couldn’t be bothered to look out of the window

So pretty 😻

I’m loving all these nosy buggers!

Here is some toe bean porn for you @SalsaLove

Too late but why not this was his first time seeing snow.

Not sure if it's high up enough Shadow I. his fave spot.

@JorisBonson

Spot the ginger sausage. This is his default position on sunny days. He enjoys showing his nether regions to the world too.

There should be a book of spot the cat photos!

Feel free to crop out DS this was the first day of lockdown

Ooh I forgot I’ve got one too! Maybe not suitable but you can admire haroldypuss anyway

It’s a ground floor flat but…

My boy Flynn, sunbathing in his favourite window

Someone has just created the best selling book CATS AT WINDOWS

I'm 1st floor and Gizmo enjoys looking outside

This was when he was younger. He's proper grown up now and a bitey bugger!

I’m not trying to be funny, but why isn’t the OP telling us the nature of the article?

She asked for permission to use some of these pictures but what if the article is about the cruelty of keeping cats indoors?

The OP works for Celia Hammond Animal Trust in Canning Town which takes a very balanced approach to indoor/outdoor cats so we assume without needing to ask that the article will be very reasonable.

@TheDuchessOfBeddington That's a good point. I'm guilty of assuming I'm well enough known in The Litter Tray that it wasn't necessary to clarify the exact content. That's an oversight on my part.

Those who know me will be not in the slightest bit surprised to hear that the focus of the piece will be that indoor only cats also need neutering. Neutering is of course my obsession .

I could have written a 3,000 word essay on the subject of indoor only cats (and I'm not massively either pro or against - it's a complicated subject). However the local paper isn't the audience for that, and the word count is very limited (as it is I've gone massively over and I'm waiting to see how much will be cut). So yes - the thrust is - neuter your indoor only cats. With an added explanation/warning/apology (to try to avoid too many complaints) that it's almost impossible to actually get an appointment for neutering with us, or with anyone else in London, due to the shortage of vets following Brexit/Covid.

I apologise for jumping to a conclusion, obviously you are known on these boards. I guess I’m a little suspicious of journalists!

Tbf even if you didn't recognize the name it states in the op that they work for a rescue.

What a lovely thread this had been! So many gorgeous kitties! Thank you @thecatneuterer!

It is 😻

I've gone through my gallery of 5000 kitty photos and can't find a single one of them looking out... they all seem to want to come in 🤔😂

No window but a lovely cat in a flat

Thanks to everyone who posted their photos. The editor went with @ThisIsMyKitty 's fab photo.
