America’s Next Top Kitty Model

Warm sunny day = beautiful light. Beautiful light = me taking pictures of everything and anything. The cats are always an easy target. They like the light too! If you’ve ever tried to photograph a cat, you know they don’t always cooperate very well. Nigel, our male cat will watch you get down onto the floor, get all ready to take the shot and then just as you are about to release the shutter, he’ll stand up and come running over to you so he can be pet. He’s so attention starved, the poor thing. Cleo, our female cat on the other hand would rather you didn’t touch her. She’s a bit of a snob. This works in my favor however, when it comes time to photograph her. She will watch me get down onto the floor, get all ready to take the shot, and then I swear she’ll pose for me. When I mentioned this to my husband he asked me when the last time I had gotten out was. Today however, my sanity was reestablished. My children were watching me take pictures of Cleo today when my highly intelligent daughter said, “Mom, Cleo could be a model. Look how she poses for you. It’s like she knows your taking her picture.” Then my son chimed in with, “Yeah, she should be on that show, America’s Next Top Model.” to which I totally agreed, such brilliant children I have. So, it’s official, our Cleo is, America’s next top kitty model. We’re very proud! Here’s some of her latest work.
