Even the most well intentioned photo goes awry sometimes! When I take photos of Cinco and Manna I just follow them around and get photos of what they do naturally. Try to pose them tends to be a huge waste of time. Of course, this means that it can take 100 – 200 photos to get what I need to make one our Niptoons.
My Funny Kitties
Anything can happen in just a few seconds when you are trying to take a photo. I have a pretty old digital camera and it can take a few seconds to actually take the photo from the time I press the button. The two following pictures are great examples of the sorts of things cats do when you are trying to take a great photo of them.
Cinco was sitting so nice and pretty. Then I hit the shutter button and this happened…
Cinco thinks his foot is a more important focus than his face MOL
Apparently Cinco was not in the mood for a portrait. He does have very nice toes though. There is even a little bit of tongue in this one. Well played Cinco, well played.
Next we have my mischievous Manna. I was trying to take a photo of Manna with her silly “I’m on nip” face. She had been licking some catnip off of her giant mousie. And then I hit the shutter button….
Nice tonsils Manna!
I guess she wanted to give me a REALLY BIG smile. On the upside, Manna’s veterinarian will be glad to see that she is taking great care of her teeth and gums. I’m pretty sure that her teeth are whiter than mine (I drink too much tea). Maybe next time will let me get the rest of her head in the photo. Silly girl!
What funny things do your cats do when you try to photograph them?
Congrats to the winner!
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! Don’t fret if you weren’t a winner, there are more giveaways on their way 🙂
Congratulations!
Mom says she’s glad to know she is not the only one who takes hundreds of photos that don’t quite make the cut. And her pocketbook is very grateful for digital!
My pocketbook is grateful for digital too! I think most people have to take tons of photos to get good ones. It takes a lot of patience and a little bit of luck!
Oh yes, thank Cod for digital and that delete option! Truffles is very uncooperative when it comes to picture taking…she always moves before I get the shot. (Kitty ADD) And she *always* blinks when the dumb flash goes off.
Cinco always blinks too! I feel bad using the flash on them, but I tend to be up working on my posts in the middle of the night. I’ve been very blessed that Cinco and Manna are always willing to ignore the camera if I am playing with them as I take my photos.
I usually end up with nose prints on the camera
That is so funny! There’s nothing wrong with a nose print here or there 🙂
it happens to all of us,xx
I’m sure that it does. I have a huge blessing with my kitties – they actually like having photos taken. They like the attention 🙂
When bad photos get taken here, it is always my human’s fault, never us kitties!
You are right about that Summer. I guess that I am at fault for the bad photos I take too. Cinco and Manna give me lots of valuable material 🙂

Thank you! Phone cameras are a huge pain. Kudos to your food girl for being able to deal with that. I think I would have had a mental break down by now if I had to use my phone as my camera.
