cats: dramatical posing fail edition

[kellan_the_tabby]

[ Major Tom, a big grey tabby wearing a purple and black harness, is squatting on a big stump, glaring at the camera. Tall trees rise in the background. ]

I got two, count em, two good Dramatical Posing shots on Woods Day. Everything else came out looking like this.

[ Tom’s on the stump, looking over the edge, tail caught mid-lash; he’s ready to jump down. ]

Or this. Loiosh didn’t even give me a CHANCE to get a pic.

[ Loiosh, an orange tabby wearing a green harness, caught halfway through jumping down from the same stump. His hindpaws are still on the stump & he is stretched alllll the way down to the ground. ]

This is the only Dramatical Pose I got out of Loiosh.

[ Loiosh is standing on a fallen treetrunk, looking over his shoulder to the left. The sky is blue above him, and a few ponderosas rise to the left. But like half his butt is cut off because I didn’t have the camera in the right spot. ]

… then there was this.

[ The photo’s taken from the same spot, but Loiosh is headed out of frame to the right and only his back half is still showing, tail a-flirt. ]

Overexposed, & the EARS.

[ Tom’s sitting in front of a fallen log that’s black with char. One ear is pointing forwards and the other is pointing back, and between the sun and the black background his face is REALLY bright. ]

One last try to get Loiosh in ANYTHING like a dramatical pose but NOPE.

[ Loiosh is walking along a fallen, burnt log, towards the camera, caught midstep while climbing down to the ground. ]

… cats.

Ah cats... furry art worthy of preserving... and contrary enough to refuse to pose long enough to get the camera focused and clicked when that perfect moment arrives.

They're terrible children, is what.

[leofsige]

ROFL. But as children go, they're much nicer than human children. Lower volumes, less likely to throw food unless it's off a table, and no diapers on average.

Generally lacking in thumbs, can leave em in the van unsupervised for a while ... yeah, definitely easier in a lotta ways.
