Beauiful cat, looks very relaxed in the sunshine :-) A closer shot of the face, emphasising the stunning eyes would be good too?

Your first thought for pet photography may be a formal, full-body pose. You should certainly try to take some pet photographs of that type, but pets are like humans: they are not always comfortable posing formally and those photos don’t always reveal the unique personality of your pet. In fact, you’ll shoot better pet photographs if you first forget about the camera and concentrate on studying your pet, its personality, energy level, favorite activities, what it does during a typical day, etc. You’ll discover the clues to the best places, times of the day and other factors that will make Fido or Kitty a star of your pet photography.

thanks for the advice i was just on a flying visit that day, and since then every time the cat sees me now she legs it (think i've put her off for life...).

although, from what my mum says, this photo shows exactly what the cat does all day, given half a chance

i keep trying with my rabbit at home, but he doesn't want to cooperate at all - clearly i need to bribe him with treats!!
