Some images of our 2 white cats taken over a number of years. The last image is a head shot of a black cat with different colored eyes that I shot at a pet shelter.
Beautiful work on your kitties. They seem to be in very good hands, and enjoying the good life. Your Nature & Wildlife photography skills carry over nicely into the domestic arena.

Thanks Tom! Yes ... our fur babies are pampered to death. Check out the hand-crafted silk pillow my wife made for them!
Thanks Fred! Cats are a big challenge to photograph, as they are generally not as cooperative as dogs. You can't tell them to sit, lie, stay, etc. As soon as you point your camera at them they will start to walk away. It helps to use a longer lens i.e. shoot from a distance, as it's less intrusive to them. You have to be an opportunist and it helps to always have your camera close by. Too many times I have missed good photo ops as I don't have the camera or the right lens with me, and by the time I get up to go get the camera or change a lens, the photo op is long gone. My wife gives me grief for missing a lot of great Kodak cat moments!
Thank you, Jack! I have to admit that I have gotten lazy and have been pulling out my older generation iPhone to take photos of our cats, which sadly is not of the best quality, as I don't have an iPhone 11 or 11 Pro!
