Protective Catnap: Pleasanton Photo Of The Day

PLEASANTON, CA — Do Mondays automatically call for a catnap? This cute photo Patch reader Jesmita Vinod submitted shows their cat who definitely doesn't need an excuse to nap, and even protects itself during one.

"I live here with my husband and son. We have been living here since 4 years and I am a lot into photography but an amateur," they said.

Thank you Jesmita for sharing your photo with Patch readers!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution, horizontal images that reflect the beauty and fun that is California, and that show off your unique talents.
