Love that last one, lambert! Reminds me of this one:

Nice! I'm still trying to figure out how Zelda kept her whiskers still while everything else moved....

She's magic!

Sleepy is good. (This is turning into another cat thread!)

But still instructional! Be careful when trying to focus on two cats at the same time.

On a more serious note...well, as serious as I can muster up.

The best is when they cooperate for some "majestic" portraits with the lights.

I don't recommend shooting cats.

But if you really do not like like cats well get a dog.

That should solve your problem.

They must be the most highly photographed subject in the world next to people. Well I guess it's the one wild animal that lives with us.

This is my disabled tom, Frog. He only has two working legs but they look like Schwarzenegger's arms.

Aww, I had a tripod kittie before I had my girls. His name was Gomer Pyle:

(I know the white balance on that one is all out of whack. It was taken a while ago on a crappy camera.)

Still miss him
