I need cats. Your cats. All your cats. →[More:]And I need them copyright free, and preferably (though not necessarily) seen head-on. I'd like to flesh out this project, and I need cats I have permission to draw, and permission to "profit" from if I were to sell posters and such. Can anyone help? I need about fifty.

You mean pictures of cats? Because I've never understood how people can get these close-ups of their cats. How do you hold the damn thing still to take a picture of it?

If you can use any pics of my cats go ahead. All I ask is you send me a link when you are done.

posted by arse_hat 27 February | 01:15

I think this one will work hilariously. Thanks! I'll let you know when and if it happens.

Anyone else, either link in this thread or feel free to e-mail me.

If you want to use my cats, you're welcome.

It's the first cell phone pic i ever took.

That's a good one for a suit look, agro.

posted by ethylene 27 February | 01:31

Feel free to use any of these.

somebody get moonbird to find the photo I used in this thing! (That's his cat, and the shot was taken right after he moved into his current place; I love the Elizabeth I neck ruff! Click to see the whole thing.)

Get Whitey Ford off that Bic Mac diet./ Holy cow./ Yo./ FATS./
What's that angry looking breed, misteraitch¿
I enjoyed your all your cats.
They're too cool.

Please, no cats in suits, jeebus./ Next thing you know, you'll be posing them at the dinner table or poker table or something, how unceremonious. Cats are regal.
Can we have more of your house cat lookin' for treat cat, taz¿ GREAT shot, whaddacat. See what I mean¿

Any of these you're welcome to use, but I'm keeping the originals. (The cats, that is.)

posted by me3dia 27 February | 02:38

that's a shot by moonbird, of his own cat, alicesshoe... I just made the little fake poster thingy when he moved into his new house. He gives great photo. :)

alicesshoe—the angry cat is a persian who somehow missed out on his vocation as a supervillain’s lap-warmer.

misteraitch has pretty cats!

Here's mine (looking pissed off)

I don't blame your cat for looking pissed off, dodgygeeezer.

I've got a set for Boos

Cats here. I can get you better quality if you need it. I uploaded a headshot of Gordon just for you.

Ditto arse_hat.

All my pics of Kayla are here- the one of her in the box is probably the best face closeup.

posted by BoringPostcards 27 February | 08:01

Help yourself to mine. The cats alas are gone but the pictures linger on. Also, on behalf of moonbird I hereby give you permission to use his photo as long as you don't make any money off of it and if you do make money with it then you must give it to one of his charity thingies. Or buy me drinks and I'll talk him out of suing. ;-)

Here you go, interro, the roommate says you're welcome to use Billy The Hutt (or any others of him on my flickr stream -- here's the rest)

posted by lonefrontranger 27 February | 09:15

I can see this one in an evening gown. :^) Help yourself to the cat pics!

posted by redvixen 27 February | 09:40

I love your cat paintings, and I'd buy one, especially if it were one of my cats. Here are some good head-on shots.

Thanks, everyone!

You can use any of my kitties as well, interrobang. I can probably dig up higher res versions as well.

misteraich, That was an extreme close up, so the cat may not have wanted to be bugged. I don't mean to insult your cat, I don't think it's ugly by any stretch.

Thanks taz, love moonbird's photos and some titles are a kill, Great White Misappropriation of Hats. heh-heh.

I'll try to get a photo of my Moms cat, it's very cool. An abyssinian.

posted by alicesshoe 27 February | 19:05

I'll e-mail you, John. Or e-mail me, 'cuz I'm goofy and I forget things? I have lots of cat photos, although a couple I'm turning into art then into t-shirt designs.

Here's Kitty-Onna-Fridge.

You're welcome to use any of these, if they fit the brief.

I just noticed this sidebarred; I hope you're still checking back. I miss Evie terribly, and I would love to see her immortalized by you. Here she is.
