When trying to take your picture with your cat or cats...you know, the photograph that shows the love, depth, and trust of your relationship together...be prepared to take LOTS of pictures!!! :-) Some cats photograph better than others...those cats know how to sit, stretch, jump, sleep, and belly-up to the camera, you know? My Tommy-Cat is that guy. Isis, however, holds the Aboriginal belief that my camera will steal her soul. Bowser has always been fun to photograph ...when he was younger he was a true Humble Ham...comfy and at home with a camera...sweet, furry, and at ease...just being cat...now that he is older and a little out there in his mind (if you have an older cat you can see how they change)...he
SHINES in his cat ways in front of a camera because he's fairly oblivious that it's even there, but happy to see you nevertheless :-)
Regardless of how
your cat takes to being the focus of
your pictures, know that
all cats basically do what
THEY want to do when you click that little button. Here are some of my "out-takes" from when I was trying to get pictures to submit with my application to be the Purina Cat Chow Correspondent.
 |
| Bowser was sleeping...I figured it was a good time to capture a shot of me and him |
|
 |
| I'm admiring how cute he is...such a sweetie-cat...I seriously dread the day when he will pass...my old guy |
 |
| AHHHH!!!! He's going to kill me for waking him up!!! (hehe...Bowser is just yawning;-) |
 |
| Isis protecting her soul from the clutches of the camera |
 |
| Isis: "Fine I will pose, but at a price!" Yikes! Watch out boob!! Those claws are seriously done with this photo shoot! |
 |
| No matter how happy you are with how YOU look in a photo with your cat...if they look pissed off that you're interupting their busy life, you just end up looking like a jerk! |
 |
| I actually love this picture. Good example in how a cat being their normal little cat selves can create an even more precious picture! |
 |
| Bowser was looking right at the camera when I clicked this shot, but my old camera was ssssooooo ssssllllloooowwww that by the time is happened he was smelling my freshly washed hair. Cats are so curious about new smells! |
 |
| My photo shoot with Tommy was so easy and fun. Tommy-cat is a true natural...I had so many great shots with him...I could tell that he was enjoying the attention...but he is a cat...so it was only a matter of time before he noticed the strap on my camera! |
 |
| My Tommy suddenly turns into a BIG CAT! He looks like a Mountain Lion a little bit anyway, that nose and all, but this picture makes it a reality! |
 |
| This camera strap is caught! Once he gets his paws on something his grabbies and stabbies make sure it's HIS! Mine! He only let go to sharpen his claws on the post behind him that eventually caught his attention. |
 |
| Git it Boy! |
