Photogenic cats

January 21, 2013 by Mike Powell

I am catsitting again for my neighbor and fellow blogger Cindy Dyer and her cats are amazingly photogenic.

Pixel was the most cooperative. He posed on windowsill this morning and was even willing to lift his head so that the light coming from the side would take away any shadows.

Pixel’s brother, Lobo (Cindy was going to name him JPEG, but her husband objected), was a little less cooperative. I captured him in his favorite spot, looking down on the main entry from the second floor with his head dangling over the edge.

The third and final cat, Zena, an older female, was even harder to photograph. She gave me a look that seemed to indicate that she was not going to put up with any nonsense from me.

  Thanks. Usually I am more of a dog person, but it has been a lot of fun watching these cats and they have warmed up to me a bit.

Cats have such enigmatic expressions.,

Love cats! Missing my Pus, he’s been living with my mother at the retiermenthome for the last few months (and having a great time beeing spoiled) since I’ve been travelling a lot lately….

I like Lobo’s pic the best as you can only guess what plot he has hatching in the scheming cat brain of his!
