This week’s theme is “smelly.” What does the above photo have to do with “smelly?” Well, cat breath is smelly! I mean, come on - it’s chewed up cat food! And, yes, he has a dirty nose. This 8 week-old kitten just will not stay clean…
Photo taken with the Canon Digital Rebel XT / 350D and a Sigma 70-300mm Lens in Davenport, Iowa.
PS - I will be away from the computer tonight and tomorrow, but if you leave a comment, I will come comment on yours - just not until Sunday.
Very cute. :) I had a similar idea for the Hunt this week. :) My breath only smells right after I’ve eaten, though. Smelly breath that last longer can be a sign of tooth problems.
This made me think of Phoebe’s “Smelly Cat” on Friends - cute kitty!
