Portraits of a Therapy Cat… Outtake Edition

March 21, 2018 By: Summer Samba37 Comments

somali cat portrait, outtake edition

Remember, last Wednesday, I shared a series of nice, impromptu portraits from a therapy cat visit? Well, sometimes things don’t always work out that beautifully. In fact, just a few days later, when I visited one of my regular hospitals, it was the exact opposite! I was not feeling cooperative at all, and it was an effort for my human to get just one good shot. So I’m sharing the outtake edition of my portraits today. My human even left the treat crumbs on my nose and didn’t erase them, like she normally would.

This particular photo session happened after the visit. And I kept moving and making weird faces.

I kept finding things to look at that did not involve me facing forward.

Sometimes I stuck my tongue out too.

My human kept waving treats around to get my attention, which did not always work the way she wanted it to.

Lots of treats were consumed! Eventually I settled down and tried to cooperate.

And when I did, my human messed up! I have no idea how she got a motion blur for the background and the focus on me was halfway decent. Anyhow, the photo that went with last week’s post was the only good one from that session.

    We think you just wanted treats and didn’t cooperate with your human on purpose! MOL!

    Seriously, Summer, we love your outtakes, which are so much fun. I have your outtake calendar at work, and it’s a smile-inducer when I’m having a less than stellar day. 🙂

    Everyone is allowed an off day now and then. Even professionals like you! But if you ask me, the pictures all look great so really, even on your off days you’re a pro all the way. PURRS

    Oh but you’re tongue out look is the cutest! My human has many a photo mishap when trying to take photos of me. She has lots of lighting issues. And she often snaps the camera button right when I have my tongue out! Tee hee hee!

    We all know how difficult it is to take great pics of kitties, Summer! Your human does a great job most of the time, and we really get a kick out of the outtakes!

    We like these outtakes. It shows that sometimes a cat just wants to eat the treats without working for them.
