Photo Hunt: Written

November 27, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat29 Comments

The photo below may look slightly familiar to you:

One of my human's "posed" shot ideas - you can tell I was thrilled.

Yes, it is an outtake from the cover shoot for my first book:

Hint, hint... it makes a great gift!

The whole idea was that since this was a book of cat-to-cat advice, Dear Abby style, I should pose with handwritten letters. But it was so obviously fake — everyone knows that cats don’t handwrite letters! They don’t even paw-write them. They use email. As you can tell, I was pretty annoyed by having to be part of this sham. My human thought I was being an uncooperative model. I am not ashamed to admit she was right.

Ashamed? Feh. Cats have NO shame!

    You are such a great photo model Sparkle. I started practicing trying to hold onto a pen myself, after seeing your convincing cover shot. What a relief that it was faked and I can now return to using the keyboard! I ‘paw’ my posts out like any good cat-blogger.
    Purrs,

    (Too bad i did not do something for PH this time. ‘written’ is such a good word!)

    what a purrfect post for “written.” I don’t think I ever realized that picture when I looked at your book. Love it.

    Sometimes we just have to humor the humans and do what they want. It’s good you were able to take a break and do some yoga during your photo shoot!

    Crumbs. We DID think you were doing something less decorous in the last picture. An invitation of sorts; involving osculation of your entrail’s endpipe.

    That is an excellent outtake and shows her exactly how you feel about such a posed photo!

    The only time I cooperate with “staged” photos is if cheese is involved.

    It’s good you explained that to the beans, Sparkle. Sometimes they think we do everything in the same manner that they do… Not so… Have a great day. …Max

    We love your book picture Sparkle – we can see you enjoy writing and use a very pretty pencil. We also love your last picture where you were obviously doing a very difficult yoga position.

      I’m glad you recognized that I was doing yoga and did not mistake it for something less decorous.
