At the same time, you’re reminding people how awesome it is to actually own a cat. This, obviously, is a good thing because it might convince someone to adopt an animal in need from their local shelter.
In the United States alone, roughly 6.3 million companion animals enter animal shelters every year. The ASPCA notes that around half of that, 3.2 million, are cats. Around half a million American cats get euthanized each year. And if that won’t get you to rush down to your local shelter and hug every single animal there, we don’t know what will.

Recently, Bored Panda spoke about the internet’s obsession with cattos and how to snap a stunning pic with pet photographer Karen Weiler from Post Pets Photography, and Michelle Wood from the Comedy Pet Photography Awards team.
According to professional pet photographer Karen, we can tell a lot about how a cat is feeling by looking at its tail. It’s like a fluffy mood antenna, Pandas.
“It’s all about the tail! While there are obviously lots of cues our kitties give us, they speak volumes with their tails. A gentle, slow swishing of their tail from side to side, perhaps wrapping it around your arm or leg is the sign of a happy kitty,” the photographer told us.

“Walking tall with an upright tail or a little hooked forwards is a confident kitty, happy to see you. On the other hand, a fast twitching of the tail, along with bristled fur and hissing or growling, is an unhappy, scared kitty,” Karen said.
“As a pet photographer who photographs a lot of cats, it’s important to create an environment where the kitty is confident, happy, and safe. For many, that can be in their home or somewhere inside. But sometimes cats don’t like strangers in their home, or they don’t like new experiences like the bright light of a flash,” she revealed to Bored Panda some of the challenges of working with cats.

“So I find the most important first step is a pre-session consultation with the cat mom or dad to find out what their cat’s preferences and background are. From there, we design a session around them,” she said that doing a bit of research is very useful.
“On the day of, moving slowly, taking the time to allow the cat to explore and get to know me, my equipment, and introducing new things are vital. I often spend a little while just sitting on the floor, giving them time to come to me and realize that I am gentle and am no threat,” the professional noted that it’s important to take the time to gain the animal’s trust.

“When photographing cats, it can be a challenge for them to stay in place or look where you would like. So I find embracing that reality by catching the brief moments just before they move, or catching the movement itself, creates portraits that show off their personality. Cats also generally love to track movement, so having lots of interesting things for them to look at helps too.”

According to Karen, the internet is in love with cats because “if you have the privilege of sharing your life with a cat, you know that they are full of personality.” She said: “They have the freedom to ‘tell’ us their opinion without caring about what others think.”
“But, cats can be difficult to photograph and capture their emotions in a photo. So when people do manage to, they obviously feel compelled to share them, and people who see those photos immediately recognize the emotion and identify with it. It makes you smile or chuckle because you know that there is truth in that photo. The memes and jokes that evolve are people coming together to celebrate their love for our furry, opinionated companions.”

A bit of luck never goes amiss if you want to take a good (or goofy) photo of your pet. However, patience, skill, and dedication also certainly help. Michelle, from the Comedy Pet Photography Awards team, said that timing is key.
“For those absolute classically hysterical images, it’s about knowing your pet inside out, their habits, taking the time to be with them, and keeping your camera or camera phone handy, the rest is lucky timing,” Michelle shared with Bored Panda.

“Backgrounds should not be too distracting from the subject, they should be well lit, and make sure you have your phone on the highest resolution for taking photos. This means that you might need to be disciplined on the editing and make sure you delete unwanted images as you go,” she shared how to up the quality of the pics.

“Also, make sure you are not rushed when taking photos, it should be a pleasurable and fun experience, if your pet is happy and enjoying the experience, it is more likely that you will get some really engaging images and even if you don’t quite get the shot you want, you have had a good time doing it. Make sure you have lots of treats and rewards as you go, then they will be happy to have another go later on,” she suggested bribing your Feeling Overlord.
“Our final tip is to get some help so that one person can distract the pet and the other can snap the pic! And don’t give up. You never know when you might get that perfect image or video that could be the one!”
