I am always so excited when I get to see other people’s pets on SDMB. Since I got a digital camera yesterday, I figured I should respond in kind. So without further ado here are some pictures of my kitty!
This is him drinking out of the faucet:

This is a practice picture that I thought turned out pretty cute:

Ready for his close up, Mr DeMille!:

So now it is your turn! Show me pictures of your baby (even if it is a human baby…those are cute sometimes too) 🙂

We just adopted a kitty from the shelter, the situation of which you can read in a recent Pit thread about “Anybody got any tiny rants?”. Now her name is Maggie. She is pictured, along with our other three kitties, Phoebe (tortoiseshell), Zippo (all black) and Simon (orange striped). They can all be seen [here](http://fishbicycle.dansmith.ca/).

We have 4 cats and a dog. unfortunately I do not have two of our cats (Sabastian, a charcoal gray, and Mute, a silent orange and white tabby) posted yet. However, you can see Millie (silver tabby), Macie (black and white cat) and Eleanor (Ellie) our Weimaraner. In truth, her given name is Eleanor Marguerite Hyacinth Crescendo Rigby, but it’s such a mouthful to say. 😃

There have been many cat picture threads here, and I can hold my tongue no longer.
If you’re going to take pictures of a cat, get down to the cat’s eye level to do it.
Not that I want to be the arbiter of all that’s good and true in cat photography, but my pictures got ten times better when I started doing that. In real life, you can watch a cat move around, see it from all sides and how it interacts with its world. When you take a still picture looking down, especially against a featureless background like a carpet, everything gets flattened out and lost. You’re an alien, detached. Get down on your belly; see the world as your cat sees it and that puts all the life back in.
Noseprints on the lens are the price we pay for our art.
Maggie, eh? Good name for a cat.

I think Phoebe and my cat, Frieda, must be related.
[Here’s](http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l90/lard2000/?action=view¤t=022_20.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch2) her curled up, and [this](http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l90/lard2000/?action=view¤t=026_24.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch6) is her squeezed on a chair. Sleeping is her favorite activity. Well, her only activity. But [sometimes](http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l90/lard2000/?action=view¤t=025_22.jpg&refPage=&imgAnch=imgAnch5)
she prefers to get into tight spaces.
