Cat Photography Contest: 25 SBI shares and upvotes in prizes!
Hi there my Steemian friends and followers!
Another month passed by and I am here with my animal photo challenge again :) Last time, the theme was dogs so it comes as no surprise that this time around, we will take a closer look at cats.
As you can see in the post linked above, we had a lot of amazing entries in the doggie photo challenge and I am really curious as to whether the kitty community of Steem will catch up with great response by the dog fans :)
As usually, let me now give you some inspiration and share some of my cat photos with you here. Honestly, I am more of a dog person and I don´t have many cat photos but let me try :)
As for the format of the photo contest, it will be same as before. There will be 5 winners who will get 5 SBI shares each from me and there will also be 5 runners-up who will get my full upvotes on their entries, which means that as many as 10 participants will be rewarded.
The rules also remain unchanged and simple:
1) Only 1 entry (photo) per person.
2) Only your own photo.
3) Add a short description to the photo (at least 20 words please).
Upvotes and resteems are not required but will be appreciated of course since I am, as always, funding the prizes from my own pocket.
As I am expecting a great response to the contest again, I might ask some new participants to prove their ownership of the submitted entries in case of doubt to keep the contest as fair and honest as possible.
Just like the last time, let me also tag some of my fellow photography enthusiasts and animal lovers as well as participants of some previous rounds who might be interested in this contest and whom I would like to see joining it: @jpphotography, @worldcapture, @borran, @r2cornell, @pardinus, @betterthanhome, @jaki01, @derangedvisions, @valth, @liltammy, @itchyfeetdonica, @mrprofessor, @jjprac, @cyclamen, @evecab, @discovereurovelo, @axeman @shaka, @old-guy-photos, @dswigle, @rynow, @sallybeth23, @kus-knee, @hairyfary, @magnata, @missdeli, @hanen, @olivia08, @ninahaskin, @harkar, @qwerrie, @carnad, @world-travel-pro, @sofathana, @hangin, @theissen and others. Cannot wait to see your entries guys :)
You can start submitting your cat photos in the comment section below from now until Tuesday (October 22), 8:00 P.M. CET.
I am looking forward to checking your submissions :) Have a wonderful day and keep on steeming!

I do not have as much cat photos as dogs but I really like this one. By the way, how do I receive these SBIs? I think I won the last contest but I´ve no idea where you send the SBI to.
Good looking cat against the bokeh background! #meow
Look at this cutie :) Thanks for your entry. Well, it works like this. I pay those SBI shares for the winners to @steembasicincome and then, they upvote your posts. The more shares you own, the bigger upvotes you get from them :) They have several different accounts to give the upvotes from. I am sure you have been getting them.
Ok, now I understand. Thanks 😁

BEER.Hey @phortun, here is a little bit of
BEERfor you. Enjoy it!This is our youngest cat. Mom's cat brought him to our house when he was still blind. He grew up with us at home. He is now a teenager and is playing with everything. He earned the accented name of „Cvrkous“.
Cvrkouš je roztomilouš :) Díky za účast.
Někdy rád pokouším štěstí. I když Cvrkouš je už výhra sama osobě. Když ti vyrůstá vedle tebe úplně od slepa, jsi pro něj jako druhá máma kočka.
He's very adorable. Nice job on the photo, too!

We met a lot of cats on the island of Rhodes, right in the capital. There are many in the southern countries at all. Here I took one behind the bars ;-)
Na ostrově Rhodos, přímo v hlavním městě, jsme potkali plno koček. Vůbec v jižních zemích je jich hodně. Tady jsem vyfotil jednu za mřížemi ;-)
To máš pravdu, na jihu je koček... jak psů :D Hezká fotka, díky za účast :)
Rád se účastním, díky ;-)
it looks like it is a greece island thing, Corfu had cats everywhere
I believe that. They thrive in the south.
That is one gorgeous kitty! I like the composition of the photo. Nice work!

Excellent theme to balance out the fun doggy contest you hosted last round. You will have a terrific turnout from the Steemit cat community!🐈🐾🐱
Your feline photographs are delighful! @phortun Resteemed to get the word out! #meow
Thank you Nina, it is very nice of you :) As fas as I remember, there actually was a cat too in your last dog photo entry so I am expecting you to join this contest as well :)
Happy to help!
You have a good memory @phortun and most likely the same dynamic kitty/doggy duo will be featured in my entry this round.
Have a good one😀
Hi, my name is Dizzy. 🐱 I'm a black cat, but I'm definitely not unlucky when I run across the road. My favourite activities are sleeping, eating and cuddling.

looks like cats are a theme for me in this last 15 days :D here is one from my Cats of Corfu island series. There were lots of cats there, all stray cats but all fed well and looking like they own the place
I noticed that too actually :) I mean the abundance of stray but well-fed and happy looking cats in Southern Europe. Thanks for this nice entry.
I remember your Cats of Corfu series. They are all very nice photos. I think this one is a good pick for the competition.

This should be a fun contest.
I've sent you some CAT (Cat Appreciation Tokens). Holding CAT will attract "cuddles" (upvotes) from the Steem kittens, @steemkitten, @cuddlekitten, and @steemeow. You can find more info about these tokens by visiting @catnet's profile.
I'll be following this post and sending a bit of CAT to each participant. When the winners are announced, I'll send some extra CAT to the winners.
This post was promoted in the Caturday Discord by @qwerrie.
Good luck to all the participants! :-)
very cool addition to the post, me thinks!
Wooow, thank you so much! I didn´t even know there was something like CAT token :) Much appreciated support for this contest. I hope you will be happy with the outcome :) So far, the participation looks good.
he said. "what are you doing master? go away wanna sleep." took pic when back home from work,

Meet my two-years old tiger cat, Coco 🐯 Meeting her was a beautiful coincidence and we share a story. Her mother, who was a stranger to me, lived far away from my village and one day, came to my house just to give birth to her. You can read more about her here
Thank you for this sweet entry :) Can you just add a bit more about Coco to meet the 20+ word requirement please?
Done.
This is really a great photo! You really captured the moment well!

BEERfor you. Enjoy it!Cool one! I'll have to dig up my files and see if I have some among all the wildlife ones :) Thanks for the contest!
Edit: found one of my favourites of the family cat; seems I don't have only wildlife photos after all! 😂 He's around 12 years now, but this was 3 or 4 years back. Here he is, louging on the rug, in one of the rare ocasions I could get him to face the camera and stand still!
Nice one :) Thanks for participation man. Well, I think there is a bit of wildlife in every cat, no matter how much domesticated :D
With years of experience, I can guarantee you're absolutely right! 😂 😂 😂

Hi, thanks for your entry but can you please submit the photo and the description here too?
Hi!
First and for most I would like to thank @phortun for given me an opportunity to join the contest and this is my entry of Cat Photography initiated by @phortun.
Just take a look at how lovely the cat playing with her boss. I may not an animal lover but I do care of their lives because the animal has lived, well, feelings and love that animals needed it the most.
Thank you

Saludos. Esta foto es de una linda mamá gato. Era una gata callejera que me adoptó. Luego apareció embarazada. Tuvo a sus lindos bebes. Y un día la ví muerta en la calle. Sus bebes quedaron conmigo. Pero todos crecieron y nada más se quedó mi Copito. Es la madre de la mascota actual. Ese lindo gatito que ella amamanta.
La foto la realicé con la cámara de mi tableta, una Coby.
Muchas gracias :) Este es un gato muy lindo.
Gracias. Sí, era una gata hermosa. y muy buena madre.

Moe, Larry and Curly were 12 week old kittens dropped off at my vets office in a box. I had just lost my cat from cancer 2 weeks before when I went to see the three. Vet ask me if I would take one, I said NO, I will take all three. Never regretted it.
Wooow, what a story. Btw are you sure they are just 3? It looks like 4 from certain angles :D
They are stooges after all :-)
They are gorgeous kitties, and how cute is that: a cuddle puddle!

Here's my entry... This is not my kitty! But a stray who came to sit and then curl up with us. We were at a kitty-friendly eatery, and this lil one who was a mere kitten jumped up the seat next to us and settled down! Nope, not shy at all!!
I had posted her in black and white before, this is her first colour shot!

I have tried to immerse myself in photography lately. Our cat Picasso is a perfect model for practicing my photographing skills.
Awww, no cat photo contest would be complete without Picasso :))) Thanks for participation my friend, it is a gorgeous shot.

hi! heres my entry. I consider it to happen one of my best cat photos, and I didnt share it on steem yet. I believe it has more than simple cat cuteness, it has drama and depth. I always remember Cartie Bresson's 'decisive moment' conseption, looking at it. i give it the title
'Fat Romeo, or separated love'
@fraenk, @brittandjosie, @tijntje, @borjan
