Caption This: The Cat's in the Bag

We had nearly 20 suggestions submitted this week for the photo of a cat standing guard on her owner's back during bathtime. Thanks so much to everyone who participated! It was definitely a tough decision. 

The Patch judges, after much deliberation, awarded the title of best caption to Craig Doherty. His caption: "It's about time. She smells like the dog." 

Both Craig and Karen Alpert, who submitted the hilarious photo, will get a digital copy of the photo with the caption affixed. (You can check out the final product in the thumbnail above.) 

For next week, we’ve got a super cute photo submitted by Carolyn Alder of her cat hiding in a Starbucks bag. You can start submitting your captions now!

Here’s how it works:

* Both the caption writer and the reader who submitted the photo will get an emailed copy of the captioned photo.
