Photographing your cat can be a real challenge. Pets don't understand the concept of holding still for a camera. They're as uncooperative as children when it comes to sitting still or posing. Given a chance, they'll run away and hide until the camera is out of hand.

Don't get discouraged or frustrated if you have a few failed attempts at photographing your cat. By applying the following tips and suggestions, you'll be taking professional-looking pictures of your cat in no time at all.

Photographing Your Cat
Cats can be one of the hardest subjects to photograph. Because cats don't like to be posed nor stand still, some of the best cat photos happen merely by chance. Take your time and wait for your cat to jump up to her favorite resting place. If your cat is in a relaxed position, you are more likely to get a better picture of it. You can also snap photos while she's stretching, lying on her back or curled up in a cozy ball.

If you want a cat to remain still while you attempt to take a cat photo, place him or her in the center of a glass tabletop. Clear tables tend to confuse cats, immobilizing them. Back up to the proper distance, and get down to the cat's level. As she sits there frozen, call her name. When she looks up, snap a quick picture.

Tempt Your Cat with a Toy
Try to get a few actions shots by tempting your cat with new toys. A catnip mouse suspended on a stretchy cord in a doorway usually provides some hilarious action shots. You can also try having someone tantalize your kitty with a long piece of yarn. If your cat takes the bait, you'll have a chance at capturing some great pouncing action.

Other Suggestions for Photographing Your Cat
If you have other pets, you may want to get them in your photos, as well. Cats (and most pets, for that matter) tend to be easier to photograph when they are playing. For example, pairing your cat with another cat or a small dog can yield funny or cute, cuddly pet pictures.

You may also want to do something that will capture your cat's attention for a while. For example, place your cat in front of a fish tank so that it focuses on the fish for a bit. Similarly, you can place a toy high up to get your cat to look in the general direction of the camera.

Another way to capture good cat photos is to wait until your kitty is sleeping. Quietly sneak up and wake it up. Although this is disorienting for your cat. You can catch a quick picture of it in a placid state.

If doing a surprise attack on your cat doesn't appeal to you, tempt your kitty with treats or catnip. Most cats respond to bribery and will sit pretty for a bit if a treat is offered.

These tips and suggestions will help you take professional-quality cat photos that will provide permanent memories.
