        I know that every photography forum seems to have a cat thread, but I never get tired of seeing the cats. A feral mother cat just brought her kittens around my house this morning so I will probably have a few photos to share, besides the ones of my pets. Lets see some cat photos!

            Everybody has their thing. lol Here are 2 of Scara’s babies from this morning. She has a couple more but they aren’t as outgoing. I had to use a telephoto lens after they saw me, which was hard with nothing but coffee in my system. Lots of blurry photos. šŸ™

                Do you often leave a bowl under your car to attract cats? Not sure that says “cat lover ” to me, lol.
                These too, are very well shot.

                  @pixl: I feed the ferals. The bowl is usually on my patio. I just put it out there this morning when I saw them.

                  This morning, my husband called me into the bathroom where the mother somehow ended up. She freaked out and tried to climb the wall when I opened the door. I have a nice scratch from her little freakout. lol. She probably came in with Smokey. Smokey is her older brother who I rescued a couple years ago. I also rescued her last litter and am stuck with 3 of those kittens. The neighbor took 1.

                  I am currently waiting for traps so we can TNR the cats before it gets out of hand. The feral kittens don’t last long out here because of traffic, mean people, and dogs. šŸ™

                  Here is Smokey.

                    Smokey great name and great capture of him here! It’s commendable that you help care for strays and have even taken some in. You must really love animals/cats. They’re lucky to have you. Keep photographing them, you’re really good at it!

                      I spotted the most striking photo of a cat that I have ever seen today. It was a close up of the cats eye and one ear, against a black background. It was a private photo, so I cannot show you. The cats eye was in colour, the balance in black and white, with the fine detail of the cats hair. I think it has to be one of the most stunning shots I have ever seen.

                        Sweet little kittens @bugadrienne …who can resist photos of them!!!

                        I have sooooo many cat photos… my 500px portfolio is about 80% cats!

                        Here are a few I took just today (clicking on any of them will take you to my online album of Cisco for the month of March…so far!):

                          @mikell: I like how you catch him in action! I have not even practiced action shots yet. Need to learn that…

                            @bugadrienne ….thanks šŸ™‚

                            I need to practice that too! It’s not easy to keep the focus sharp when he’s on the move. I have been trying to get some advice on how to capture him in clear focus when he’s running…especially towards me. I use AI Servo mode and a fast shutter speed…but it’s not that easy. If anyone has suggestions, I’d love to hear them. I really want to catch him in a full leap…suspended above the earth…it’s so awesome to watch him fly! šŸ˜‰

                                        A late March snowstorm gave me one last chance to take photos of Cisco in the snow. Next month we are moving to Florida and this “kitten” will never see snow again!

                                                  While doing a maternity shoot, the mother needed to nurse so I excused myself to the back yard. I noticed the family cat hiding in the tall grass so I army-crawled over to it and snapped this.

                                                      I am new to the site and I see people posting multiple photos in the same post can anyone please tell me how to post 2 or 3 instead of just one? Thanks šŸ˜‰

                                                      As for the photo I took this of our kitten who never stops moving unless he is asleep. trying to get a good shot of his eyes open is soooooo challenging. This is my best attempt so far.

                                                        This is what I usually get when trying to photograph the speed demon! I tried to pan with him but I need a lot more practice at it and the focus is bad. again I don’t know how to link it in with the previous photo, sorry for the multiple posts in a row.

                                                          What a cutie @cadmium-dreams! I really like the monochrome one.

                                                          I use flickr to host my photos because I am too lazy to resize photos for here and one can see the larger sizes when they click it. I just copy and paste the htmls into the post and it is done. I do not know how to do it with the photos from the albums in this site.

                                                          It doesn’t bother me if you have multiple posts. Maybe it will make you want to write more about the cats too. šŸ˜‰

                                                            This is Bob. He is a feral kitten that comes through the fence from next door. He was in such sad shape that I gave him iron supplements for a while. His little tongue was nearly white on account of anemia. His brother fell into a bucket of paint this morning that seems to have the top rusted off. I did not get photos of him yet. I washed him off but I hope he will be OK. I get attached to these poor babies. They have it so rough.

                                                              Thanks for your reply, I cant figure out how to link your underlined name in here. I am computer stupid and trying to learn to navigate this new site. I am too scared to try to figure flicker out also. maybe when I get this one down I will check out flicker. Thanks for your reply though and your little kitten is soo cute I love that you caught him in a meow. Great pics.

                                                                          Gremlin saw it first, told the other cats and 2 of her 3 cousins joined her to balance on the headboard. Unfortunately, the flash did not fire when all 3 were looking. The RAW file was nearly black, so I am glad I shoot in RAW. I could have had nothing for the first or last photo.

                                                                          There is a gecko!

                                                                          They all look.
