phyrpowr Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Constance, I like to practice on cats also. I find that a medium calibre is sufficient, and actually preferred as you want a high muzzle velocity so the trajectory is flatter, and you don't need to lead as much.....oops, wrong website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I hate cats. Unfortunately they refuse to acknowledge my dislike for cats and insist on sitting on me, sleeping with me and eating the food I give them. I hate babies too, especially the way they giggle when I feed 'em and change their poopy diapers. I hate cripples too, which is why I walk with a cane, so I can swat 'em while I'm hobbling around.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrjola Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Two cats here. I used to think I was a dog person, but they have converted me. Perhaps their gracefulness is another factor that makes them attractive to photographers, although most shots I've seen are indeed of stationary cats. Then again, almost all of my shots of cats in motion do fail due to their speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G. Dainis Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I always wanted to take one of those saccharine sweet kittens in a basket photos; the kind that make photographers gag. My big chance came when my mother in law's cat had kittens. After a few weeks when they were the right size, I bought a wicker basket, a big red ribbon and decorated it with some artificial flowers. Then I went over to her house and found she had given the kittens away. Bummer man. I guess I'll have to find a kid, smear chocolate all over his face and take a photo of that. Why do some people find that cute? Why do some people like cats? Quien sabe? James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 John, the cat who allows me to live in her house will be glad to know that we understand the difference. Even if she does seem to think that my brushing her to get rid of that damned loose fur might possibly be abuse. Perhaps it's because whenever I pick up the brush I croon "It's torture time, hunnnnnny!" What irks me is that just because I'm allowed to live in a cat's house (not a cathouse), and because I'm a photographer, my neighbors seem to think that I'm just itching to photograph their pets. Perhaps if I could persuade them to dress up their little bastards in S&M gear I might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denise_d Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I love cats. I've somehow acquired 4 of them. They seem to love me and hate my cameras. As a result, I don't take too many cat photos. The neighbor's dog is another story. She'll pose for hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
