Choosing a cat and how to take it's photo

Article Category: Pets

Author Name: Rob Tyrrell

When you're on the hunt for a pet cat, you can easily find yourself being wooed by the first cute kitten that looks up adoringly into your face. Nevertheless, there are a few things you should take into consideration before committing yourself.

Firstly, check the cat has a sleek coat, with no bare or thin patches, a cats coat is a important indicator of general health. A cat or kitten should also be clean on the hind legs and under the tail and it's always a good idea to visit the cat a few times before committing yourself and, while your there, see how it responds to handling and play. A lack of response or lethargy may indicate an unhealthy cat or neglect. If you have any worries, it's always wise to consult a vet.

Potential owners that live in the country will be looking for a cat that can roam free and maybe keep mice or rats at bay. For this, a short-haired tabby that's been brought up in the country will be very much at home.

Cats from towns will prefer a few more home comforts and tend to dislike the cold and wet outdoor conditions. You might even choose from the more prized breeds that you see at cat shows. If you choose a thoroughbred, it's wise to visit a large cat show, you'll be able to see many varieties such as shorthaired types like Siamese, Burmese or Abyssian and the long haired types, Persians, Colour-points and Chinchillas. In addition to seeing these cats in the flesh, you'll be able to talk directly to the breeders who will be able to offer expert advice on keeping such breeds.

For all cats grooming is prudent and even more so if you have a long hair, choose a brush or comb with rounded ends, this will help stimulate the cats skin and remove loose hair. Long-hair cats will need grooming up to twice a day to keep them in good condition.

Once you have them looking at their best, you'll be wanting to take a few good photos for posterity. Here are a few points to consider when taking photos of your pets.

Firstly, be patient! Chances are, as soon as you rush off to get the camera, our little darlings will promptly wander off or turn their back on you. If there is somewhere were they like to play, leave the camera somewhere somewhere close by, so that it can be easily grabbed when the moment arises. Plus, make sure you have enough film or memory left in the camera, there is nothing worse than to start taking the pictures only to find you've only got one picture left in the camera, and that one went wrong!

Secondly, consider the background. If you have a black cat, avoid dark backgrounds, and similarly white cats don't show up well with light backgrounds. Also, steer clear cluttered backgrounds. Too much going on in the background will distract the eye from the main feature (your cat!). Many cameras now have an auto focus facility, if there is a lot going on in the picture the camera will have difficulty in focussing on your cat rather than the furniture behind it.

Thirdly, lighting. If you take the picture indoors, try to do it in bright natural light and avoid having to use the flash. A flash will cast a very strong directional light that will produce hard shadows and the "green eye" effect. If you have the chance to photograph your cat outside, choose either the morning or evening, strong midday sun can make a picture look 'flat' though overcast days will soften hard shadows and make it more conducive for photography.

Lastly, try different angles. Avoid taking the picture from 'a human point of view' as this is the angle you see day-in and day-out, take it at 'cat level' to get something more unusual. Also, a toy can be a useful tool to distract your cat and get them to look in the right direction.
