Cats!

Yesterday I did something that I’ve never done before – and quite honestly, I was a little scared. I photographed a session with FIVE CATS. But what made this session different than any other session I’ve done wasn’t the sheer number of cats; I’ve actually photographed five cats in one household before. The uniqueness of this session was that there weren’t any dogs! While I’m a pet photographer, and I do include ALL pets in that title, dogs are really my comfort zone. They’re the vast majority of what I work with, and I’ve studied + know quite a bit about dog behavior. So when I entered this house and I knew there weren’t any tail-wagging “woofers” (to quote my father-in-law) around the corner to greet me, I felt a little bit weird! Lucky for me, these cats’ parents (Kim & Dale) are SUPER nice, and happy to tell me if I committed a feline faux pax. So here are just a few early favorites from our session – let me introduce you to the cats!

 

Pumpkin (on the ladder) is a rescue from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He’s a sweet, lively cat who did pretty much everything we asked of him! Little Man on the right is missing his right eye, but look at how stunning his left eye is! I think it looks like he’s winking.

Sasha prefers to stay outdoors, but if you’re out there with her, she’s got to be the center of attention!

These were the two shy cats. Gracie (in the bush) is a gorgeous gray color and warmed up to me with a bit of time. Little Beebee, on the other hand, had to be held (pretty tightly) by Kim so he wouldn’t sprint into a back bedroom… the poor thing is petrified of guests, so we didn’t get a huge variety of photos of him, but I love this sweet one of him & Kim!
