This week I saw a lot of great photo ops with the cats. All of them happened when the camera was in another room. I decided to make it a challenge to capture great shots. Don’t get all excited because they are never adorable when I have a camera in my hand. If perchance there is a great shot, I will screw it up somehow. Without Mollie, Sasha has been promoted to most photogenic cat in the house. See what you think.
First though here is Gus making himself at home on my desk just like all the cats do. They taught him well!
Gus and Sasha are close in age and they play together often. Sometimes it starts with a face washing and ends up in a body thumping wrestle.
No cat was harmed. They are the same weight and what Gus has in strength, Sasha has in wilyness.
If I try to intercede I get the “nothing going on here look” and I’m asked to move along.
Morgan wanted one of her glamour shots included so here goes.
We hope everyone has a great weekend!

I love that opening shot of Gus on your desk! Theo is so uncooperative when it comes to photo posing. Maybe it’s just as well. I would become obsessed 😉

They are best when they are sleeping or just waking up. Other than that I’m lucky to get on shot out of 20 that isn’t blurred.

It’s hard to pick whether Gus lounging on your desk or the “nothing going on here look” is my favorite picture today. All innocent looks and Morgan’s glamour shot is equally sweet.

Sasha often peers around a corner at the top stair landing. It is so cute but I’ve yet to capture it. I never have the camera on me and when I go get it, she leaves.

You need an extra pair of hands to position Sasha on the stairs when you are ready. I know, it’s impossible to pose a cat.

Gus has the best looking tummy. I want to reach through the screen and rub it– for as long as he’d let me, of course.

That’s a great shot of Gus peeking over the edge of his bed…….and as long as he and Sasha are just “play wrestling” and there’s no drawing of blood (!) I think it’s great exercise. David and I have to wrestle with Ted and risk the occasional scratch or bite since he’s all by himself here but he does love to wrestle around on the floor or chase a toy across the room, etc. Cats are just so photogenic. Morgan’s glamour closeup is sweet too.
Hugs, Pam

Isn’t that the truth, Kate. As soon as you grab the camera no one acts cute or hides their face. It happens with humans, too. Gus seems to be integrating very well with the family. You still managed to get some cute, and ‘why are taking photos of me’ pictures. Have a great weekend!
