Photographing Cats Takes Patience

I got a request for more cat pictures but I really need to figure that out. Cats, you see, don’t care whether their pictures are taken or not. They’d rather be petted, or fed, or played with. Here are the only three pictures, closely cropped, that I managed to salvage from over a hundred attempts. And an older picture just so show that sometimes I can take a good pic. By the end the cats had had enough and, so had I. :o)

Theo's Stare  Macy's an Art Critic 

Dharma is always Quiet  DSCF0005

I call the first one ‘Thelonius’ Stare’ and I try not to guess what Theo is thinking of this picture taking experience. I call the next one ‘Macy the Art Critic’ as she seemed to go from picture to picture for most of the shots that I was able to take. The first one in the second row has to be ‘Dharma is always Quiet’. She was touted as too wild for most houses, so Suzy knew she’d be the perfect friend to the Bengal cats. Suzy was, once again, correct. And the last picture of our family does show sweet Shelby in the family room, but mostly it’s to show you that sometimes I can take a non-fuzzy picture.

I have to say, taking pictures of saxophones is much easier.  ;o)

    Pretty happy looking cats.  I wonder if they like jazz?

    Those really are some pretty cats, and I’m not a cat person. Lovely home too.

    Sooooooo beautiful, all of them!  I love how Thelonius’ tail is STRAIGHT on the floor…lol.  When the tail gets aggitated…so are the kitties.  When they stam or wave their tails a certain way…they aren’t very happy.  Two of my females do a special move when they are making a statement.  They will put their tails in a question mark and then shake the end of their tails like a rattle snake does with the rattle.

    I absolutely love these pictures.  And I wish so much that I could have a Bengal.  They are gorgeous.  I so wish I were there with your kitties to give each one the love and adoration they so richly deserve and demand/expect!!  😉 Don’t tell Lady Bianca I said that though. (commonly called in my blog as Miss Catt)
