<H1>Photographing Your Cat with Close-Up Techniques </H1>

Other than photographing our kids, there's probably nothing we enjoy photographing more than our pets--in my case my two Ragdoll cats. (In case you've never seen Ragdolls, they're "giant" cats that were first bred in the 1960s. They're big, gorgeous, even tempered, long-haired cats, with blue eyes and raccoon faces. Their name comes from the fact that they can relax so much they go limp, just like a child's ragdoll.
 
Like most cat owners, some of my initial shots were of my cats playing, sleeping in the sun, chasing their own tail, or other similar cat antics. However, the more photographs I took, the more I realized my favorite shots were those where I got up close and personal--usually within a few feet of my cats. Using this up close technique, I could focus on specific features, like one eyes, both eyes, black and red ears, long whiskers, or the paws. I know most of us like seeing the whole cat in a photo, but when shots are focused on specific features, they can be extraordinarily dramatic. 
 
For example, I have one photograph of my male Ragdoll (he has DEEP blue eyes) that focuses in on just one eye; and in that shot you can see the hint of a reflection in his eye. I think it's a great photo--and captures the beauty of his eyes.
 
If you'd like to try close up shots, here are my recommendations:
 
1. Don't try and get the shot when your cats are all revved up and racing through the house like a whirling dervish! Try and capture them when they're quiet, have just eaten, or are stretched out in the sun.
 
2. If you have a helper, have them hold something distracting just over your shoulder. This gives the cat something to focus on besides your camera--and can hold the cat's attention long enough to get the picture.
 
3. Focus in on your cat's most distinctive features. For example, for me, it's the eyes. Your cat may have unusual markings, perfect ears, or the longest whiskers on record. These are the features to concentrate on. Remember, the goal here is to capture a knockout art-style print, not just a snapshot of Kitty.
 
4. If you're using a digital camera, set it to take multiple shots (without a delay between shots); then once you have the feature in focus, rapidly shoot several shots. This way you'll have far better luck in capturing the perfect shot.
 
5. Don't be afraid to use a slow shutter speed to capture your cat's eyes in a blur. I've done this in several shots, and it can be very dramatic.
6. Avoid using a flash, or you'll be processing the photo through PhotoShop (or other image editors) in order to remove red eye.
 
Good luck with your photos--and don't forget to give your cat a treat for posing for you!

It is estimated that a cat can kill up to one hundred birds each year. Millions of birds are killed by pets and feral cats
as are tens of millions of rodents and other small animals. Cats are not a natural part of the ecosystem. They were introduced to North America in large numbers in the 1800's. Unlike other predators, cats are fed and inoculated against disease, and are not reliant on their hunting skills for survival. In addition to killing birds through hunting, cats can transmit diseases, which kill wildlife.

Feral, or wild cats are descended from domesticated pets
When cats are lost or abandoned, they return to a more primitive wild state, know as feral. Although feral cats may live alone, often they join large groups or colonies of other wild cats. Their lives are hard, and their life expectancies are much lower than their domesticated kin

The two most obvious reasons a cat may no longer want its food, is firstly has the food gone bad. Sometimes cat food can become tainted in its packaging,
check to see if the can has any dents in it or if there is damage to the packaging in any way. Smell the food your self and see if there are any unusual odours or any mould on the food. Secondly, is the cat ill in any way? Sometimes bad teeth can cause problems or they have a stomach bug. A vet should check out any suspicions of illness immediately.

Petition For Senator Obama: Add a Shelter Cat to Your Family!

Dear Senator Obama,
When the Humane Society Legislative Fund announced their first ever Presidential endorsement of you, we were delighted to hear about all of your past legislative support for animal welfare. We applaud every politician who recognizes the needs of those without a voice or vote.

We also appreciate that your family has decided to adopt a dog from a shelter. We ask that you extend the same warmth and kindness to a cat. 70 percent of adoptable cats in shelters are euthanized every year. Adoption makes a tremendous difference towards the life of one cat, as well as to the family who adopts.

The United States is a pet-loving nation, and the American people would love to see an influential public figure such as yourself save the life of a pet. Please consider adding a shelter cat to your loving family.

Cats and Milk--Watch Out for Lactose Intolerance

Though often associated together in artwork and folklore, in real life, cats and milk should be mixed with caution. Cats are born with high levels of lactulase, an enzyme that breaks down the sugar in the milk during nursing. As kittens age, the level of lactulase drops and the ability to tolerate the sugar found in milk (lactulose) decreases. So a previously lactose-tolerant kitten becomes a lactose-intolerant adult. Most adult cats have this low tolerance for milk sugars so giving them milk or other dairy products can make them gassy and cause diarrhea. It can also spark pancreatitis in sensitive individuals.

Some veterinarians have put the stool softening property of lactulose intolerance to work--using it to treat constipation. Contact your vet before you decide to put this to work yourselves--a little goes a long way and your vet can recommend if it is appropriate for your cat.
