fascinating...thank you

Stunning, I have never seen anything like it. And I had no clue their tongue is like that. My cat gets annoyed of camera's in a second, I have no idea how you guys do these shots.

I have to say that is the most amazing thing I have seen today. Now I know why I feel like I've been sandpapered after kitty kisses. Crazy!!
Posted by: Ann | October 21, 2006 02:10 PM
Nice macro work. How'd you avoid blinding the poor kitty with the flash?
Posted by: Moonwick | October 21, 2006 02:16 PM
That's such a nice shot it got greenlit on Fark.com. I love the fact you can see all the little rods standing up like it scratchy side of velcro. Excellent job. My kids love it.

Really scary!
Posted by: Pościel Wełniana | October 22, 2006 07:06 PM
I knew their tongues were rough, but I had no idea they looked like that. Wow.
Thanks for that.
Posted by: v.dog | October 22, 2006 07:26 PM
All I wanna know is: what's being licked??
Posted by: kaioti | October 22, 2006 08:33 PM
Cats are the most boring pets a person could have ffs. To top it off they have the most grotesque tongue ever.
Posted by: Georgey | October 22, 2006 08:59 PM
Keeeewl!
Looks like it's "cleaning" itself. It's just... Awesome, can't find any better word :)
Posted by: Esset | October 22, 2006 09:06 PM
What an awesome picture, great work! I knew they were rough like that for grooming but I had no idea that they are basically like one of those brushes you get from the pet store!
kaioti, obviously you either hate animals as a whole or you just don't know anything about cats. Boring is the last word I'd ever think of to describe a cat.
Posted by: Patty Jesto | October 22, 2006 10:11 PM
Sorry kaioti, that comment was made by Gregory, not you. All apologies to you- I misread the log.
Posted by: Patty Jesto | October 22, 2006 10:13 PM
that's awesome. we have ten personal cats plus the ones from our rescue.

very fascinating!
Posted by: Copiador Descarado | October 24, 2006 12:29 PM
Wow! I had no idea that it looked like that. Like little clear plastic coat hooks, AWESOME!!
Posted by: AnnieHaz | October 25, 2006 10:30 PM
Wow! The cats tounge looks like a scrubbing brush!!
I didn't know their tounges had little hooks on :) v good detail too.

must say..prefer the more holistic queenly cat experience
Posted by: Liz | October 26, 2006 02:01 PM
Amazing shot. I saw this a while back in the Photographer of the Year competition in Digital Camera magazine. Simply stunning!
Posted by: Dave | October 26, 2006 11:44 PM
It's just amazing how God made such a Beautiful creature, and as you can see everything is made by God for a reason. I just love the way that the photographer has captured that. I am twelve years old and me and my mother are extreme animal lovers!!! We absolutly love cats, and we just love this picture! Pleaese put some more on. PLEASE!!!

Awwwwwwwwwwww! How cute!
Posted by: Johnnie | October 29, 2006 10:03 PM
dogs are better
Posted by: todo | October 30, 2006 07:24 PM
omg,why are some of you so disgusted by that! Give me one GOOD reason (not it's icky) and look at this amazing photo. I've never seen anything like it, even though my cats SHOULD be photographed every day because they are insane.
oh yeah, look how much talk it has provoked, maybe a certain someone, will realise that commenting on this cat for days and THEN be able to say cats are boring!
lol

Hey mister georgey i don't like you you are not a real person if you don't like cats. And also thats an awsome picture.
Posted by: buzz | November 5, 2006 06:36 AM
Geeze! No wonder it hurts so much.
Posted by: Grindstone | November 5, 2006 03:44 PM
Well I never knew that was what the tongue looks like, much more interesting than ours.... ABoring, Tsk Tsk, you haven't lived Georgey.
From a Cat luvva!

Amazing pic. That thing can lick meat off a bone... Raw! Now I can see how. Great shot.
Posted by: Deepak | December 8, 2006 01:59 PM
awww that is disgusting
Posted by: mancu | December 16, 2006 03:35 AM
and did you know that male cats also have the same kind of spikes on their penis'?
however, they fall off when they're castrated.
Posted by: Judie | December 24, 2006 02:10 PM
Amazing picture! I love the detail! (and now i know why kittens don't want a 'bath' from their mommies!)
Posted by: Sharon | December 31, 2006 12:47 AM
ADORABLE!!!!!!!Oh and it does hurt getting licked by cats.I have personal experience. It's just SO CUTE!!!!!
Posted by: Olga | March 13, 2007 02:45 AM
I'd like to shave that tongue:-)))
Posted by: Rasputin | July 5, 2007 08:41 AM
Hello,
What an incredible shot!
I will be teaching a class at a zoo & am wondering if I could copy the picture to show the children when I talk about cat's mouths and how their tongues can hold onto liquid to lap it up ? I will not use it for any other reason.
Please let me know! Thank you,
Jan
