I had something else planned for my blog post today, but the photos didn’t turn out. So I had to think fast… and I realized that a lot of times, photos didn’t turn out. You have no idea how often this happens. Here are a few examples from just this past month.
You know how some humans like to take photos of their food and post them on Facebook and Instagram? My human thought it would be funny to take that idea and transfer it to cat food. She forgot one of the cardinal rules of satire: it has to be something worth satirizing to begin with.
My human left this box sitting around for days, hoping that one of us would do something fun with it. The only thing that happened is that I got mad because Boodie looked at it. There weren’t even smacky paws because let’s face it, the box wasn’t worth it.
Do you like those cool, shadowy photos my human likes to take of me? Well, this set didn’t work out.
When my human was at LitFest Pasadena, she brought home this snake toy and she wanted us cats to pose with it. None of us wanted to pose with it! Can you tell how annoyed Binga was? Hint: you can’t see her tail because it is nothing but a blur.
My human wanted to get a cute photos of me playing peek-a-boo with that silly paper drink thing she brought back from BlogPaws. As you can tell, I wasn’t into it.
Do you notice a running theme here? Every last idea began with “my human thought…”

Your expression says it all
Well, those are the sort of photos that we take ALL the time over here. We are not professionals like you, Sparkle. 🙂
Your expression says it all Sparkle.
Im with Austin, that last one is worth volumns!!
Well, see theres the problem. You are assuming that Beins “think”, when they are really quite scatter-brained and emotional.
Bwaa!! Haa! Haa!! Me thinks sometimes my human does not think!!!

The sad thing is that my Human’s pictures often come out like these but she thinks they look fine and uses them anyway. Go figure.
We think that first idea has a lot of potential, but we think the presentation needs work. At least there should be a doily under that can.
That shadow fail pic looks like your human channeled mine’s photography abilities. Humans are dim-witted, aren’t they.
Haha! Sparkle, your human needs to stop thinking! We have a ton of pictures that didn’t turn out right. Because us cats cannot and will not cooperate all the time!!
We also have many times when we are just “not into it”. However, we do like bloopers and photo bombs, as long as it’s not us!
I never can get those special shots right either. I like your expressions Sparkle.
We love creating bloopers! 😈
We love the pictures! Daisys mom posts the out-takes sometimes. Even though daisy is embarassed, 🙄 they are still great pictures!
MEWHAHAHA! Awwwww Sparkle dear, mew have my sympathies once again when it comes to mewz human. I loved reading mewz interview on Peace, Love, & Whiskers and how mewz human had a plan to write a blog before mew adopted her, but when starting it mew had to take over and instruct her how to do things. I especially like how mew have trained her to know that if she wants to do any kind of personal project she must get mewz permission first. I need mewz help teaching me mewz technique for this, as my human seems to have the notion she can simply go off and do her own thing without seeing to my needs first. At least mewz human tries to do what mew tell her, even if it doesn’t turn out that great. I say allow her a treat or two for effort, mew don’t want her to become disgruntled and secretly plot with Binga to start a coup to overthrow mew as top cat/Queen of the house. I love and respect Binga being a friend ans fellow tortie ladycat, but knowing mew I doubt mew would want to have to answer and be a subordinate to Binga! MOL!!
Sparkle, this sentence cracked us up. How dare Boodie look at your BOX!!!
The only thing that happened is that I got mad because Boodie looked at it.
I like you in the shadows.
Hugs madi your bFFF
Sparkle, that last one speaks volumes!!! I am now seriously thinking my human should not be allowed anywhere near MY blog again!! They are absolutely hopeless aren’t they!!

and when they do (or not) it’s dangerous 😎
I am glad my publicist leaves me alone for the most part. She only bothers me for photos when she is feeding me something and that generally works out to my benefit.
Whenever our mom says, “I’ve been thinking,” or “I have an idea,” Dad knows that he’s in for trouble. That sounds like whats happening at your house. Unfortunately, you can’t see into her brain when she gets her crazy ideas as we are sure she’s not telling you in advance. Good luck! Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on Head, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette. IF YOU TRIED TO COMMENT ON OUR POST “PAYBACK FOILDED” AND COULDN’T DUE TO THE CAPTCHA CODE, MOM HAS REMOVED IT!
LOL… cute post!! We can completely relate to your photos and that is why our human is so grateful for digital photography!! If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!
Well, she gets credit for the effort even though everything bombed.
MOL! Oh yes, the things that happen when humans think are just not worthy of consideration.
MOL MOL MOL!
Good photos or bad…. it’s always good to see you.
Have a great day.
hugs, Bugsy and Knuckles
Humans……they THINK they know what’s best……..HA! 😆
Sam
The things we put up with.
Sounds like you need a Waffles…that seems to keep Glogirly busy and off my back.
; ) Katie
I feel your pain Sparkle. But you know even your most awful pictures are better than the ones we post. So I say, don’t worry about it.
The stink-eye in that last photo is nearly enough to melt our web browser! MOL.
That’s the problem with our humans…they think. 😀
These are brilliant – your expressions just sum it up (except for the so darkly shadowy one which we cannot see – but can clearly imagine)!
You do make a pretty cute flower child Sparkle!
Mum always goes through the photos and deletes any she doesn’t want before she saves them – we’ll try and distract her in future so we can have some whoopsie pictures too. The last one made us smile most because that flower thing in front of your face looked like those big old fashioned microphones that were used a squillion years ago.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
TRIES to do with me. Not ties. Sheesh!
I love the pictures and your commentary, Sparkle. Made my day. I ought to tell some of the “not gonna happen” thing MY mom ties to do with me!
Humans need to stop thinking,especially when it comes to kitties! Have a great Caturday!
Those are interesting photos Sparkle. But it is fun seeing the photos that don’t work. We have plenty of those. Have a great day.
Aw Sparkle try to go easy on your human, after all she can’t help it…..she is “just human”. 😉
purrs,
Jasmine, Joey, Eddie and Rosie
Are you saying humans don’t think when they’re thinking? I might have to agree with that!
Sparkle, you are the best at doing that look of ennui!
