Cats. What to say about cats? Cats ≠ dogs. You cannot tell a cat to sit or stay. You cannot ask a cat if it wants a treat or to go for a walk or a ride. You must wait until The Cat has decided it's time for photos.
Who doesn't love the blue eyes of a Siamese, the floppiness of a ragdoll, the flat face of a Persian or the ears of a Scottish fold? How about the mini leopard that is the Bengal, the gentle giant that is the Maine Coon, the tailless manx or the hairless sphinx? Let's not forget the domestic shorthair, aka the alley cat, another favorite of mine.
Long hair, short hair, tailed or tailless, I love the challenge of photographing cats.
