This picture reminds me of when one of my cats was a kitten. She had been left in a box with 3 siblings on the doorstep of a veterinarian’s office. A friend of a friend worked in this office and somehow we ended up going to see these kittens on a very busy Saturday afternoon. We sat in the corner of the lobby and played with the kittens until my kids convinced me that the sleepy one should join our family. “He will be super cuddly, Mom!” Then the office staff sent us on our way. We had a cat, but no paperwork and no instructions. We never even saw the friend. I am not even sure anyone knew who we were. It was weird.
Despite what the vet told us, he was actually a she. And she was way younger than the vet said. She could not tolerate any solid food so we had lots of tiny accidents until we figured it out.
I think the audio of the kitten meowing enhances the picture. Monkey is a very quiet cat now, but when she was too young to take care of her basic needs, she made a lot of these sounds.
And the kicker? She never cuddles!
Such a sweet kitty in your picture! It reminds me of when we got our cats as kittens and brings back memories of being able to hold them in the palm of our hands. Your audio fits perfectly with your image as kittens have such a petite meow when they’re so young. Your image and audio bring back memories of young kittens and their need to be cared for. An alternative audio for your image that would completely change the feel and be unexpected would be a lion’s roar! It would almost “foreshadow” a grown cat. I think you picked a nice picture and audio clip to convey your message! Nice work!
I can never get enough of animal pictures, especially baby ones. Seeing someone take care of something so fragile is always warming. This kitten especially looks like he/she is quite satisfied at that moment.
With the image and audio separated, I am only reminded of two animals. When combined, however, the audio brings life to the single kitten in the photo. It demonstrates the need of this kitten and the attention it longs.
Another audio choice that could be interesting is a dog barking. As the dog is barking, the kitten is looking up frozen from enjoying his/her bowl of food. A young kitten would certainly be startled hearing a dog close for the first time. One technical suggestion I have for your post is correcting the unsightly links. All the links work but the URL could be linked to a word or title versus just posting the full URL. Other than that, great job!
