So Judy had this cute (albeit a bit wishful) thought to get pictures of Yoyo and Bobo for holiday cards.
Ok, for those of you who have never tried sitting down a cat to take portraits… it’s hard. Now, try it with two cats.
Yeah.
Step 1:
Lay out tempting fabrics that the cats usually sit on which they will ignore even though they can usually be found sitting on it within 3 minutes.
Yoyo: I sense a trap.
Step 2:
Wait. Wait some more. Wait about an hour… eventually one of the cats will come over.
Bobo: I sense a trap.
Step 3:
Wait for cat #1 to finish investigating and sit down.
Bobo: Actually I’m gonna lie down ’cause I’m a brat.
Step 4:
Wait for all of a minute for cat #2 to get jealous of cat #1 and come over to investigate.
Yoyo: I knocked down the backdrop…
Step 5:
Try to get cats to look at camera.
Step 6:
Try to get cats to look at camera. (Repeat as needed. And you will need to. Lots.)
Step 7:
Try to keep cats interested.
Bobo: This is hard work. *flop*
Step 8:
Fail miserably at step 7.
Step 9:
Decide that it is a lost cause and that sleeping kitties are the easiest to photograph.
Step 10:
Call it a night. They did already. =P
Yoyo & Bobo: zzzzzzz.
Happy Holidays everyone!
(Y’all get a virtual card cause I am entirely too lazy to mail physical ones. ^_^ )
