Can the cat see yet after being flashed in the dark judging by the size of those pupils, great picture though.

My dog always turns away when i point a camera at her, she does not like the flash either.

My one cat knows better as well:

Even if i dont flash:

dont hate on the cell phone shots.

But when keeping the flash off camera and using a softbox I can actually get shots:

But for some reason, if the flash is on the camera they always squint during the capture even at 1/250... I dont have an example of this.

Aw they are beautiful cats! They don't seem to have much patience! Minerva lets me fire a few but then walks off disgustedly!
