Tomorrow is our neighbor’s birthday and because B is the kind soul who cares for Loki and Marcel when we’re out camping, I wanted a photo of them for a card. It’s tough getting good photos of a black and a white cat (at the same time) because Loki tends to fade into the shadows. After several unsuccessful photo shoots of them napping on the bed and lounging in their box-condo, I asked Zippy to hold them.

It was a full minute of squirming, shedding, feline shenanigans, but I was able to capture this shot. I’m especially pleased Marcel’s looking directly at the camera because B has high hopes that one of these times when she’s cat-sitting, she’ll finally get Marcel to happy-drool. He’s been holding out on her.
Our dear neighbor takes her cat whisperer duties very seriously.

Love it thank you. Reminds me of the old days when I had to take the 3 young children to Sears to get an annual photo. Always tipped the poor soul that had to try to get a decent shot!

I love this picture! We tried to do a Christmas card picture with us, our cat and our turtle. The final “best” picture was the one with me holding the cat in a headlock and the turtle trying to swim through air. Hahaha.
