Caturday Outtakes

July 25, 2020 By: Summer Samba28 Comments

It's Caturday, and it's time for some outtakes from Summer's recent photo sessions!

This was one of those weeks where there were so many outtakes, it was hard to pick just the ones you see here. And a few of them (including the very last one) have interesting stories behind them. Honestly, there’s nothing that unique about the one above… obviously I’m reaching for a treat that my human was slow giving me.

somali cat on wall with tongue out

Remember those nice photos of me on the wall from the other day? This just shows what a difference positioning a camera makes. It was taken at the same time as the others, but I was facing the setting sun. The result was a super contrasty photo that just didn’t look that good. The original, before my human did some Photoshop magic, was also very orange. Plus I was giving a raspberry.

This photo was taken at approximately the same time as the one above it, only my human and her camera were in a different spot. I was in pretty much the same spot… and still waiting for my human to give me a treat!

For some reason, when I wasn’t supervising my human during the inversion table assembly, I was rubbing all over it. Which resulted in some really strange faces. Mine, not my human’s.

This was an even more awkward pose, mainly because my fur makes me look like I’m hanging off the pole. But I was just rubbing on the inversion table. Again.

somali cat getting treat off Veuve Clicquot box

My human came up with the idea of having me put my paw on the Veuve Clicquot box. When I wouldn’t do it for her while she was holding the treat, she put it on the top of the box. That didn’t work out very well.

Then there’s this photo. It has a story. A few weeks ago, I did a sponsored Instagram post series for this litter company. Because I was getting paid in real, cash money (well, direct deposit cash money), they wanted approval of the posts before they went live. For some reason, they did not like this photo! But it’s litter, and I used it, and wouldn’t they want proof of how well it clumps? Oh well, another idea of my human’s shot down. She didn’t care, actually — she still got paid!

I hope you enjoyed these outtakes! If you have a favorite, let me know in the comments!

    Maybe Veuve Clicquot won’t be asking for an endorsement??

    We think the brand should have taken that last photo! Oh, and our mom does that “put the treat on the box” trick a lot. MOL

    Your photos are always a treat Summer, and we love it when there are stories behind them. Strange about the litter company!

    That is a great photo of you on the inversion table and I really like the one of you outside too. I think the way the sun hits you actually enhances the photo.

    I think the last photo was a great idea! Mudpie has been rubbing all over the edge of a DVD box set I have near the sofa lately. I think we may have accidentally spilled some squeezie on it.

    Great outtakes, Summer! love the ones you were rubbing on the inversion table 🙂
    I think it’s a great idea to show how the litter actually clumps.

    The photos are all great. I enjoyed them plus the captions of course. I’m still smiling to myself over how much you enjoyed the inversion table. I have a total gym that I’m using since the gyms are still not open here in my area. Lily enjoys riding on the platform as I do my exercises. That works for me because then I don’t have to worry about her getting injured when it slides back and forth.

    We get so many outtakes!!! At least, yours are funny!

    We’ve always wondered why litter companies don’t like seeing the actual litter used…

    Great out takes as usual! Our favorite is the one of you standing on the table and rubbing your scent all over it. MOL

    A new item coming into the house always needs
    to be well marked. You do a lot to earn all
    those treats. Good work.
