By Frances Niblock From probable death in a dumpster to Canadian calendar kitty so has been the first of Dusty the kittens nine lives. Dusty, now a two-month old ball of inquisitive fur, has been selected as one of the cutest Canadian kittens in a coast-to-coast photo contest search, sponsored by Whiskas cat food. Whiskas spokesman Melanie Slade said Dusty is perfect for the Only Kittens Can Be Kittens contest. The (contest) qualifica- tions called for authenticity, and some sign of typical kitten activity does it look mischievous, does it have a lot of energy kind of the personality of the kit- ten coming through in the picture, Slade said, adding eight winners will appear on a 2007 Whiskas calendar. The photo of Dusty ears and tail up, one paw poised to pounce was taken by Actons Howe Sim, a doctor and part-time professional photographer, a friend of Dustys Mississauga owner, Ina Belu. Sim, 37, said Belu adopted Dusty after hearing that he and three of his littermates who were less than a month old, had been rescued from a garbage bag that was found in a Mississauga dumpster. Sim said through much love and care and early concern from a vet who wondered if the runt kitten would survive Dusty grew to be the healthy, energetic and much-loved kitty that Sim captured with his lens in early June. Sim said hed heard about the Whiskas contest and asked Belu if he could pho- tograph Dusty. Although he ended up with a winning photo, Sim said it wasnt the easiest of shoots in Belus backyard. Kittens are tough kit- tens are impossible, they are so difficult to work with because they are so active, he said on Friday, adding Dusty is a very active kit- ten who didnt so much run around, but pounce and leap all over the yard. Sim said he does a lot of portrait work, mostly kids and babies, but also is shooting a growing number of pets for loving owners. When not armed with his camera, Sim is a doctor, specializing in internal med- icine at the Trillium Health Centre in Mississauga. Ultimately, Id think Id like to do this (photography) fulltime I absolutely love photography its my pas- sion and clearly, if I stumbled across it a few years ago before I started medicine, I would definitely not be do- ing medicine, Sim said. For his winning photo, Sim earned $500 worth of Whiskas cat food that Dusty will enjoy and $500 for the charity of his choice the Toronto Humane Society.
