A Glamerous Version Of Himself

When Hubby Tony and I were in California several weeks ago I received an email from the cat shelter we foster through. The message said that they were thinking of new ways of showcasing their adoptable adult cats like Pimento, and asked if we would be agreeable to a photo shoot with a volunteer professional photographer. That way Pimento would have some updated shots on the website and be showcased on their social media.

After checking with Tony I replied we would be agreeable, and suggested we set something up when we got home. It took some time to coordinate schedules, but this afternoon was the big event.

This morning when I told Pimento he needed to work on his photogenic side, he yawned and jumped up on the bed for a nap. After lunch I reminded him of his big event; he rolled his eyes and jumped up on the couch for an afternoon nap. 

The photographer arrived a little after 3:00, and Pimento was awake enough to know that someone different had walked through the door. He eyed the stranger warily, especially when he saw the large camera. However, for the next half hour I think Pimento might have enjoyed being the center of attention. 

The photographer got down on the floor and shot him from multiple angles, and to take advantage of better natural light I threw some treats in there so the cat would move that way. When Pimento sauntered down the hall; the photographer was positioned to catch him there, too. 

At the end of the session the photographer showed us some of the snapshots, and said the best ones would be forwarded to the shelter. I am excited to see what shows up.
