Photographing cats can be somewhat difficult. By and large, your best bet is going into their environment and just letting them do their thing. With really skittish cats (Mr. Mistoffolees), sitting across the room and shooting with a long lens can be a fairly good method.

But King Louie the foster cat isn’t in his own environment; he’s in mine,. And he’s quite a bit more interested in playing with his various things-on-a-stick and jingly balls than sitting still in front of the odd sounding flashy thing that I’m attempting to stick in his face. He doesn’t quite understand — nor does he really appear to care — how to sit still and look pretty for the camera. But his extreme cuteness makes up for any lack of experience.

He’s still being a bit skittish with me (not really with Betsy, though, he seems to like her quite a bit), but he’s not at all unfriendly. He ’s going to be a lap cat, once he’s used to his surroundings.

And, of course, he needs a home. If you’re interested, get hold of me and I’ll put you in contact with the proper authorities.
