Reader photo of the day: Cat + feather duster = mess

This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.

Submitter socalcde was kind enough to share this photographic evidence of the dangers of leaving one’s cat alone with a feather duster. (Our favorite viewer comment on this photo: ‘Another one bites the duster.’ Well put, commenter amsterdandi, well put.) We love the defiant look on this kitty’s face, as if to say, ‘Yes, I did it. What are you going to do about it?’

Think your animal photo should be our reader photo of the day? We’d love to see it, and showing us is easy. Just head to the Pets & Animals category of Your Scene, The Times’ photo-sharing site, and select the appropriate album (for instance, socalde submitted this photo to the Pets Behaving Badly album). Once you’ve chosen your album, just click the ‘submit’ link at the top of the page, pick your photo (.jpg format) and include a caption that tells us a little about the animal or animals you’ve photographed.
