GET INSPIRED TO TAKE YOUR BEST CAT AND DOG PHOTOS

The Purrfect Travels 2015 international photo contest is almost here and the summer travel season is not far behind. We want to see your best travel cat and dog photos so we're sharing some of our favorites with you.

When we first saw Hans Silvester's Cats in the Sun collection, we just had to visit the Greek Isles and take it in for ourselves -- the beauty of the islands and the kitties melting into the wonderful landscape. Cameras in hand, we wandered the twisting streets of Mykonos and found treasure. These are two of our earliest photos.

While in Havana on a people to people cultural trip, we couldn't help but notice the dog population basking in the sun and following tourists for a chance to taste leftovers from meals we had just finished in the paladars (privately owned restaurants). The faces were precious and the tails furiously wagging.

No matter where you plan to roam this year, enjoy safe and purrfect travels, don't forget your cameras, and send us your photo entries at purrfecttravels@gmail.com.

Starting later in May, follow the best photo entries at www.Facebook.com/purrfecttravels and on Twitter @PurrfectTravels. These could be one of yours!
