Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 30 October 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Me: "C'mom Missy...pssspssspsss look over here c'mon Missy."

Missy: "This is what I think of your stinkin' camera!"

Me: "Doh!"

Pouhou from Apeldoorn, Netherlands

not original (my comment) but I also like the blue background
BTW blue is my favourite color.
Pet and young children seems to be the worse in portrait photography
Well done

30 Oct 2007 10:53am

@Pouhou: Thanks. The background is a standard muslin portrait background that I use for standard portraits.

benjamin from singapore, Singapore

Barbara from Florida, United States

Excellent colors and lighting. And this cat is right where cats belong... on a pedastal! Great shot.

30 Oct 2007 2:01pm

@Barbara: Thanks...yes indeed she is the queen of the house here.

Russ from United States

Missy is very pretty, especially in front of the blue background. She seems as uncooperative as my teenagers to photograph.

30 Oct 2007 3:14pm

@Russ: Thanks...yes she is when it comes to these kinds of shots although I have some sweet ones of here that I just happened to catch here and there.

HorseRotorVator from Newton, United States

LOVE IT!

30 Oct 2007 3:29pm

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks.

Jason Kravitz from Brussels, Belgium

ha - this is quite an image - I'm not quite sure what to say other than - good one!
did you have to use some tricks to get her licking or was she just being sassy?

30 Oct 2007 3:34pm

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks. The boys were trying to entice her with toys and treats, but alas this was the best we could get from her. But she is very sassy anyway so this one definitely catches her personality.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

Only another cat owner (i.e., cat's staff) can fully appreciate your efforts. Cool photo!

30 Oct 2007 3:36pm

@Viewfinder: Thanks.

Dawn Sutherland from United States

Too funny!!! Love it!!

30 Oct 2007 5:54pm

@amy: Thanks.

Walt from Scarborough, Canada

A nice portrait, actually, if the cat's owner is into fun pictures, I guess....

30 Oct 2007 7:15pm

@Walt: Thanks. Well she is my cat although the boys claim she is theirs, except when it's time to change the litter box. We do love it too because it really captures her nature. She's a very amusing cat with quite the comical personality.

MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States

Too funny and a great capture.

30 Oct 2007 8:53pm

@MontereyJohn: Thanks.

Rebel Streetshooter from United States

They're funny and tuffys aren't they? Still...it's a terrific image.

30 Oct 2007 9:01pm

@Rebel Streetshooter: Thanks. Yes they are funny. She's not very tough though. I've only heard her hiss once about 5 years ago when she was about 5 years old and it was at a kitten that could fit in the palm of my hand. It was really funny to see her afraid of this little tiny kitten. But a big dog wouldn't scare her in the least.

Line Lamarre from Chambly, Québec, Canada

Very funny.
Beautiful picture, I like the colors. The blue it's splendid!

30 Oct 2007 9:50pm

@Line Lamarre: Thanks.
