Cats make horrible models

[Uabassoon]

I'm "trying" to get a nice picture of the furkids to put in my holiday cards.. however it seems that I am dealing with two very uncooperative kitties. Corkscrew has decided that I am a terrible mommy and is hiding under the bed :rolleyes: Who would of thought get two kitties to sit for 5 seconds would be such a task. Here are a few of my attempts.. hopefully by the end of the day I can get at least 1 decent picture.

It would be nice if someone looked at the camera..

If your two won't cooperate I'm wondering how hard it is going to be to get a good pic of Nipo! :eek:

If you don't get a very well posed picture you could always use one of these and title it "Christmas Card Outtake"!

I think the first pic would make a pretty funny one! :p

[Uabassoon]

LOL or I could always go with this...

ROFLMAO!!!! I love the "MERRY FREAKING CHRISTMAS" card!! Too funny!

Good luck on the pics but I have a feeling we will see some more out takes!!

Still LMAO over that card!:D :D :D :D http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

[amoore]

I think all your pictures are cute of your two babies!

My favorite of all is in your signature of Corkscrew!
I could just kiss that sweet little foot thats showing!:)

[Barbara]

ROFL. It would be funny if everyone posted the pictures he did NOT take for the Christmas card. If you get mine you will see that I used a trick;)

[CatDad]

LOL:D

I really like your 'Merry Freaking Christmas' one. I think you have you card for the season.;)

Good luck with the models. I could probably get Bob to pose, but Joey would not put up with it.

Post more out takes, they are great.:)

[Uabassoon]

Ok.. so I thought since I couldn't get them to sit in my little picture taking area and I thought I would just take the picture taking area to them...

Well I couldn't get Tibby to stop eating her stocking....
http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3cc25b3127cce8307f247c8650000001610

Then upon realizing his stocking was empty Corkscrew knocked it off the tree and tried to leave the photoshoot. (Tibby of course is still eating her stocking)

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3cc25b3127cce8307f241c8630000001610

But.... I think we may have a winner!

:D
I definately agree!! ;)

[Barbara]

I second that. It describes much more realistic what we have to expect in our family:D

[amoore]

I'm only going to confuse you with this. I love all your pictures here!
I like that last one: We may have a winner. Its really cute!
I also like : Merry Freaking Christmas! LOL!

Tibby is so cute licking her stocking:D

[Lallypop11]

That Merry Freaking Christmas card is too much, you are hilarious! :D I feel your pain and frustration :rolleyes: They make us work for the good pictures, don't they? Haha.

:D

[catlover4ever]

I personally vote for "Merry Freaking Christmas". :D :D

I bought Christmas collars and reindeer ears this morning.....I guess this is what I'm in store for. ;)

[cubby31682]

I also love the Merry Freaking Christmas one. That one is to funny. If I were to get a card like that in the mail I would hang it up it or leave it out so everyone could see.

Katie

[ramanth]

Merry Freaking Christmas... LOL!!! I love it. :D

[catnapper]

Lets take a vote! I vote for "Merry Freaking Christmas!"

I almost fell off my chairs when I saw it. Perfect action shot... perfect caption. I love it!

Of course the one where they are being sweet is nice, but the other one has such character!

[Uabassoon]

LOL that's the last time I post a joke picture out of frustration! However I now think that I few of my friends may be getting "Merry Freaking Christmas" cards from me. But here is my final product, this is going to my vet and the shelter I got Tibby from. What do you think?

[Prairie Purrs]

Merry Freaking Christmas is the best Christmas card I've seen in ages! What a hoot! :D

[catlover4ever]

My first vote is still for Merry Freaking Christmas ;) , but the one you are going to send to the vet is perfect.

[catcrazylady]

I would be thrilled to get the "Merry Freaking Christmas" card!! I love it and I think your vet would certainly understand it too! There is nothing better than a good laugh and that would brighten anyones day!!! I loved it and still laugh when I look at it!

[Miss Meow]

Love it!!!

I think anyone who has ever tried to get a cat to co-operative will relate to the MFC card!!! :D

[Freckles]

Be sure to compare the snowman's expression in the two versions. :)

I was wondering how she did that! :D

I like the MFC one too - and like others have mentioned, anybody who has furkids will relate. Also like someone else said, the other one is nice, but the MFC one is a classic! :D

[Uabassoon]

I was wondering if anyone would notice that :)

[catland]

I love MFC - its priceless.:D

Yup - I noticed :D
P.S. Love Corkscrew's airplane ears! :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

I also love the "MFC" card.:) This year I decided to cheat a little and used Photoshop instead. Last year I got a funny pic of Storm. He looked a lot like the Grinch and then Wolflady turned him green so he really looked like the Grinch. I may use this pic some day. Here it is:

[Cheshirekatt]

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'd love to receive the Merry Freaking Christmas one!

lolololololol

It made my day!

[NoahsMommy]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This thread is so "freaking" funny!!!!! ;)

I love all these pictures....especially MFC....too cute!!!

I like the one you're sending to your vet as well, that'll be nice. :)

We did a card last year with just three and it took forever and I could not stop laughing because the cats wanted nothing to do with us. It was so funny....this year, I'll DRAW a picture of us with 8 cats.... hee hee. :)

I'll add one picture here of Noah trying to take off. In the end, David grabbed Noah and Noel, I got Basie.

[bisi.cat]

Oh how could I have missed this funny thread?!
I rave about your "Merry Freaking Christmas" card and it's great that KAK has finally revealed the identity of the real Grinch, hahahaha:D :D :D

It's the same with Christmas Cards over here, whenever I take a suitable picture Nellie spoils it with doing her special grumpy or boring face...but I send those cards anyway...

[Kater]

Storm as the GRINCH -- I LOVE IT! :D

This thread is LMAO-funny material!

[Barbara]

KAK: I love the grinch:D

Laura: If you send the MFC card this year Hallmark will steal the idea for next year!!!!:D :D :D

[sasvermont]

Rest in Peace sweet Gabe!

Gabe is one of the few kitties who can conserve their dignity even with antlers -he looks purrfectly for Northern Norway:)

[neko1]

OMG I am cracking up at my computer!!!!!! I just love these pictures, especially merry freaking christmas!!!! Thank you so much for making my day:)

[sirrahbed]

How about a "serious" card with the "outtake" on the inside?? I bet the staff and shelter would get a kick out of both!!:D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh Gabe, it's so nice to see you again. :) :(

I love all these pics! And Storm as the Grinch - oh my! I don't think I've ever seen a green cat like that before! :eek: :D

[catmandu]
