Just One Photo

February 21, 2018 By: Summer Samba47 Comments

It was Saturday, and my human needed just one photo of me looking into the camera for Sunday’s blog post. This is what happened.

(No secret messages this time — the photos say it all!)

And… if you look at Sunday’s post, you’ll see that she actually got two good photos before I took over for the selfie, because the last one here is different from the one there.

    You appear to be the feline equivalent of a method actor: “But WHY am I thinking evil thoughts? WHO is my nemesis? WHOM do I disdain? WHEN are the treats gonna arrive?”

    Good job standing your ground, Summer! Us humans can be pushy about what poses we want our kitties to use. Manna and Dexter put me in my place when I get pushy during photo shoots too.

    You look a little dis-gruntled…
    Just like me! Mommy is NOT being very helpful with my posts or on commenting this week (just like last week). Its a good thing Dad is around to take pictures or there would have been NO posts this week either! I thought the last 8 months of Mom being on a `tight schedule`at work were bad…this week is ridiculous!
    I will probably be even more Dis-Gruntled next week as Dad, Kozmo, Jo Jo and the beast Cinnamon will be going back and I will be alone (and lonely) with Mom working until all hours of the night.

      Actually, she stuck me out there and started shooting right away! I didn’t even have time to explore or enjoy myself. Granted, we did eventually, but I think the order was a little messed up.

    Summer, we do the same thing, only more out-of-focus! Our mom says it’s a good thing digital cameras were invented or we’d all be in the poor house.

    That’s usually how it goes in our house. 10 photos before a good one, 20 before a purrfect one. MOL. At least you didn’t run off like some kitties in our household. It’s fun times! Purrs
