Thanks so much!!! I love taking pics of my furry kiddos, and lots of other things too.
It's really cool what you can do with a bounced flash and a decent camera.
The irony is... I went in to get allergy tested again, knowing I'd have issues with dust and mold and some kinds of grass, trees, etc. But only tested positive for like 6 things... one of which was cats... Sigh...
Thankfully I'm not badly allergic, and I get to breath filtered air through my CPAP all night or I'd be a mess.
The allergist was like, "you should get rid of your cats..." "Ummm No! try again" "They're like our kids" unless I was deathly allergic they get to stay.
"Well you should keep them out of your bedroom..." Uhhhh they're CATS!!!! They'd destroy our bedroom door and terrorize us in the most pathetic sad way till we gave in and opened the door, Try again"
"Well make sure you don't let them sleep on the bed with you.." "you don't own any cats do you?"
Given my allergist's response to my batch of testing was to send me home with a new asthma inhaler and a script for an allergy nasal spray I can buy over the counter at wal-mart, I figured the cats aren't going to kill me yet, having them around gives me peace and a relaxing break from my day to day life. They're always happy to jump in your lap for a good cuddle.
Hope you get to have some sort of critter to jump on your lap.
O and as for interesting photos of cats... When I was staying with my wife's friend, I had just gotten a new 50mm 1.4 lens for my camera. I wanted to do some natrual light photos. Her best friend has a black cat who loves paper bags. We dropped a bag on the floor and she raced into it. I got down on the kitchen floor on my belly and managed to get this picture of her coming out of the bag to try and pounce me or my camera.
