Pictures of Cats

In pictures of cats we see a beautiful naturalness that charms us. This naturalness is something that we often lack. My website has developed into being much more than about cat pictures. Although the centerpiece is the work of Helmi Flick, it deliberately avoids being one dimensional. The objective is to reflect reality, the beautiful and not so beautiful, the truth and a wide range of viewpoints but always supported by the best pictures of cats.

The purpose of this website, pictures of cats.org, is to make money. The money is spent on improving the welfare of cats. Please note that this is a long term project and some monies are held back for future large investments to the site to make it the best.

I have chosen a variety of charities and I constantly review things. You can See the donations here. One of my favorites is Texas Maine Coon Rescue. Things change and evolve, of course.

The goal of this site is to provide the finest pictures of cats supported by carefully researched facts and fair comment. These are my views.

Both wild and domestic cats are vulnerable to the activities of the humans, stay catwho came to this world many millions of years after the wild cat was here.

My favourite cat is the vulnerable stray cat, who comes to me and in presenting him/herself to me silently asks for help.

Enjoy Pictures of Cats and live harmoniously with our more vulnerable fellow creatures.
