Promotional Cat Model

December 11, 2018 By: Summer Samba31 Comments

My human helps out with the Cat Writers Association website, and she is running late on a blog post about the 2018 CWA Communication Contest. Just as she was getting ready to write it, she realized that she didn’t have a photo to go along with the post. Instead of trying to find a stock photo, she figured why not pose me with some of the awards? She has won a few in the time she has been a CWA member.

She pulled out a couple of the Special Awards she has won, plus some of the Muse Medallions she earned in the Regular Categories. Of course I supervised.

As soon as my human set everything up, I sat in my spot and posed for her. That was when I realized that maybe I have a new career path: promotional model! ‘Cause it is really easy for me to pose with stuff, and I could totally take it on the road. I bet a lot of people would come see products if I was posing with them. Well, they would be there for me, but they’d probably stay long enough to hear a pitch. I wonder if I have any takers for my services?

After we finished the shoot for the CWA blog post, my human rewarded me with a training session. Yes, that’s a reward — I always look forward to them!

I also got to wear my cute pink hoodie. I really enjoy wearing my outfits too. One of these days my human is going to shoot a video of what happens when she pulls one out. I stand up and get all excited!

By the way, if you write about cats, or photograph cats or create cat art, you should enter the contest! You can find all the info on the main CWA Contest page. And you don’t have to be a CWA member to enter — it’s open to everyone!

    We’ve been saying that you should be a model for a very long time. Maybe you need an agent. Mom says she is going to enter the CWA Contest every year, and then doesn’t do it. Maybe we can get her off her backside this year. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer

    Well Summer, I think the real takeaway message here is, Why doesn’t your Human make some nice medals for YOU when you strike an especially dramatic and glorious pose? Then you could have a “Hers and Hers” wall to display them!
    Amirite?

    Yes Summer. You can be the lovely promotional model standing next to or on
    whatever is being sold. This is just like the pretty girls they always hire(d) to
    stand next to a car or to sit on it. (Does that still happen?) . You are so good
    at modeling you can do it; and you are fun to see.

    What company wouldn’t want you as their model for their product campaigns?! You would do grr-eat, there’s no doubt. And you sure have countless high quality purr-fessional photos to show a head hunter your modeling talents. And they would see that you’re not just a pretty face with a knock out body, but you also have special skills, are very people furr-eindly and have worked with diverse groups. Kisses.

    Your human needs to find you modeling jobs although that CWA shoot could’ve used the seater or a dress up.

    Our mom better get on the ball and figure out what we’re going to submit this year. We actually don’t have a lot, and she says what we do have is drivel. I’m kinda disappointed, since we haven’t won a muse yet.

    You are a great promotional model. You can come visit me in Massachusetts, but you will need more than that hoodie as it was 8 degrees this morning. 🙂

    It would probably be a lot of work for your human but you definitely should be a spokescat for some national brand or another! You look great in that hoodie, just like the blue one – you and hoodies just the perfect match up!

    Aww, I keep chickening out at applying for membership to CWA! Guess I could check out the contest, however.
    Summer, Da Boyz would just love to visit with you! Think you could handle two nutty boycats?
