Cat pictures

Each year, thousands of perfectly healthy and loving cats are put to sleep, 
sometimes for the lamest of reasons.   Some were abused and neglected by their previous owner.
Please consider adoption for your next pet.

Cats are fascinating.   They can be extremely affectionate or incredibly aloof.
They're amazingly conscious, alert to the slightest sound and smell. 
Over the millennia, people have domesticated them, most likely by
adopting stranded babies that needed food and affection.
Cats have long been associated with mystery and raw animal power.
 

Cat photo tip --
Many cats don't cooperate with photographers.   I've even met some that were hostile.  Other cats are very affectionate and will not sit still.   A long lens is very helpful. I usually let them relax in their own environment  and shoot from a distance.
When doing a formal portrait, it helps to have the owner nearby
because cats get nervous.  Work quickly, too, or the cat will run away.
