Great photos of great kitties, Thelmalu! Its always terrific to see the special pets we know so well in text here at PetTalk.

Here's a note for photographers of cats - notice in the first two pictures of Elvis, the different sizes of his pupils. Most people respond to big eyes (wide open pupils) in a positive loving emotional way. And they perceive the slitted pupils as being more aggressive or less baby-like.

So, when you are taking pictures of your cat, and want a particular mood or emotion conveyed, remember the lighting. A cuddly cat with narrow pupils will look wonderful to its owner, but others will not be as drawn to the cat. Its a body language thing!

And of course, if your cat has wide open pupils, you are more likely to get the red-eye syndrome in your pictures. It sure can be a struggle to get just the right lighting with pet portraits.
