Cat

Posted by Adiemus (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 6 March 2007 in Animal & Insect.

Our office has a cat that has adopted us - his name is Jack. He moved in just before Christmas, and since then has made us all his slaves... The patients love him too, so apart from his need to lounge on the chair you are about to sit in, and the tripping hazard he poses, life is perfect!

Hi guys!
This year I'll be putting up fewer shots, but hopefully improving the quality at the same time. Sort of a 'best of' if you like.
This community is terrific in so many ways - I love it even if I don't often comment. The people on here make it a great place to be.
I'm also writing a health-related blog - if you're interested, hop on over to http://healthskills.wordpress.com/
and make yourself known!

Cats have a magical way of choosing where to stay and with whom. So, you all should feel privileged ;)

Lovely shot, love the texture and the angle! Just love cats...

@Manuela Photography: Oh we know we're privileged!! And it's great for our patients, despite the odd cat disliker... ever seen how cats zero right in on them?!

Hey Jack! Magnificent macro! Excellent tones!

@Jerry: Thanks, it was a new process for doing B&W shots, including a separate layer for dodging and burning, learned a lot with this image.

Lucca from Cologne, Germany

Daroru from Osaka, Japan

Very good tones here Adiemus! You did well to get so close.

6 Mar 2007 4:01pm

@Daroru: It was relatively easy to get close to him, he was snoozing in the in-tray and was far too lazy to move, even to the point where the letters were being filed on top of him!!

MontereyJohn from California, United States

Dogs have owners... cats have staff :) Good image.

@MontereyJohn: Don't they just!! Slaves more like! Winston Churchill once said that he preferred pigs because dogs look up at you, cats look down on you, and pigs look you straight in the eye!

Jen from Jessup, United States

Great macro shot! I am staff to two cats myself lol!

6 Mar 2007 5:35pm

@Jen: I am slave to just one, but have had a series of cats who have ordered me about. He's just lovely, and very happy to have a multitude of staff to serve him at our work - 20 employees and a string of patients who attend the Centre.

Zing from Hamilton, New Zealand

Nice close up of the cat. So cute!! Great B&W image.

There is nothing more peaceful than a being asleep...animal or people

6 Mar 2007 6:46pm

@Ann Kravitz: agreed - especially kids (maybe the only time they're peaceful?!)

@Suby: Thank you, he was a very cooperative model, as all models are when they're given a nice warm place to sleep and a bowl of food! Think you could use those tips for your models?!

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Wonderful tight framing on this one. Give him a pat for me.

@Damon Schreiber: Thanks Damon - I tried to give him a pat this morning, and he bit me!! I think it was the catnip I was carrying for him that went to his head..

Michelle from New Zealand

Aw! Such a resemblance to Oscar...
