Full title: Adorable pictures to melt even the hardest heart: Tiny kittens, cuddly puppies and fluffy ducklings pair up for cute photo shoot

A British photographer's adorable images of puppies, ducklings and even kittens in hammocks will brighten up any rainy day.

Master of cuteness Mark Taylor's images are in demand all over the world for the purr-fect way they capture a softer side to our best-loved animals.

His photographs are a legacy from his late mother Jane Burton who pioneered the style so familiar on calendars in offices and maths teacher classrooms everywhere.

Using a simple clean white background and some unusual animal pairings Mr Taylor's style has seen him make the cover of prestigious wildlife magazine National Geographic.

In this set of heart-warming images Mr Taylor shows why he's one of the best in his field tapping into that desire in us all to see something fluffy.

From ducklings with puppies, to dogs with kittens and even rabbits Mark captures them all on camera as if they were the best and friends.

And thankfully so far he's had no case of any of them eating each other.

I was thinking there would be pictures of a line of U Haul trucks lined up at the White House, with a January 2013 date.

About 20 years ago we had 2 cats that were the product of an incestuous union between a mother and son. They were both a little nuts. we also had a springer pointer mix dog. The one cat was teasing the dog and ended up getting chased by him into out bedroom. The dog was focused on the cat and did not realize that the cat jumped onto our be until he ran full tilt into the bed. I picked the cat up told him he was an A-hole and tossed him underhanded tot he dog and said “catch.” The dog had a very “soft mouth” and caught the cat in mod air. He didn't hurt the cat but that was the last time the cat teased him. He had pretty much the same expression as your picture.

Too funny. At my wifes work the security people at the gate feed the wild cats inhabiting the industrial area the terminal is located. Some of the kittens there are real cute little guys, and it’s a heartbreak to see them turn into wild, feral creatures, but we can’t take in all the cats in the World.

Last week she had gone shopping during her lunch hour, and loaded up on various plants. She left the windows down on her car to allow the air to circulate for the plants. It was a fairly hot day pushing the high 80’s.

She got off work, got into the car, drove halfway, or more home, and heard a sound in the back of her SAAB Station Wagon. It was the twin of that cat in your picture. A baby kitten identical to that one had crawled into the car through the open window, probably aided by the tree branch adjacent to the car, and had fallen asleep amongst the plants in boxes in the back of the car.

We now have another cat/kitten. His name is Petey.

Lol, That looks like the one cat in the front is playing pool. He hits the white cue ball cat and the others fall to the pocket.

Re your wife’s workplace: Have they considered trap-spay/neuter-release?

[rockinqsranch]

The company doesn’t care, and the people working the gate at the terminal keep ‘em fed, and watered, but they don’t want to get more involved than that, and can’t afford to do that sort of thing anyway. Those security people don’t make that much money.

I’d imagine if the company, a major national corporation was approached for such they would probably do something rash rather than be bothered so nobody does anything other than feed them, and let them be.

Been going on for more than twenty years.

Little Petey is a gem, but I still tell my wife to keep the windows up on the car. We have too many cats as it is.
