I also photograph cats. They are harder to photograph than dogs because they usually aren't taught to sit or lie down, but with time and paitence it can be done. This is a photo of our pet Tuxedo cat, Jessie. He is a house cat and it took a while for him to get used to being in the studio, but eventually he settled down long enough for me to make some photographs of him.
