How many photos do you have of your cat(s)?

I have lots of picture of my cats, too many to count. We always taking picture of are cats and I have in the picture album.

Since I picked up Nakita in October, the digital camera has counted 200! But, I erase most of them since they are usually out of range, or Nakita jumps out of the shot last minute!

I've probably kept 50 - 60 digital pics.

I just counted what I have saved in the computer. Between the "Tubby" file, the "Peanut" file and the "Tubby and Peanut" file, I've got 296 to be exact.

I have taken thousands of them, but have deleted the not so good ones, which is one of the wonderful things about digital cameras.

I voted in the 300-500 category because I have more non-digital ones that I haven't scanned in. Not too many, but enough to put me over the 300 category.

And I have to admit that before I came to PT, I probably had about 100 of them. Since PT (not quite a year yet) that amount has tripled, and is growing fast!

Since Tubby & Peanut are older, they sleep a lot and even though they are cute when they sleep, the pictures eventually all look the same.

I wish I had taken more when Tubby was little.....

And Jen, you say you don't know why you look at the pics as soon as you pick them up even though the kitties are at home. When I'm taking pictures with the digital I can't wait to get the computer out and download them - and the cat is sitting right there! Possibly even in the same position I just took the picture of.

So don't feel bad. There's just something about a picture.

'Course a picture still never comes close to the real thing.....would be kinda silly picking up a picture and smooching it when the cat is sitting right there.

How funny! When I looked at the picture you took today of Tubby in Tortellini -- I giggled -- thinking how Edwina rolls her eyes when she hears the "clank" of the lens cover that means I am approaching with the digital. "Before digital" photos were a special occasion - now they are a regular event!

Poor kitties.....

I estimate over 500. Everyone laughs when I have photos developed, "These are all of cats". To be fair, when my kids were small, their photos outnumbers the cat ones.

I'll let everyone in on a little secret about that tortellini picture. Tubby was fast asleep. I tiptoed - yes actually tiptoed as quietly as I could. I even turned the camera on in the kitchen so I wouldn't wake him up....but I forgot to telephoto it! Yep, the second he heard the motor move the lens, he woke with a start, greeted me with his little mmrrtt in his throat, then sat there and looked at me. I could have screamed!!! I was just on my way out the door on the way to work, but instead I stood like a statue. Didn't move, didn't say a word. He got the hint and it only took about 2 minutes for him to figure out I was losing it once again and it wasn't worth interrupting his nap for, so he put his head back down. The second he closed his eyes I snapped the picture and thankfully it was ok because as soon as the flash went off his head was up like a shot again - and I was off to work.

Gotcha Tubby!

I have many pictures of my cats - I sort all my digital photos by date, so that makes it hard to count, but I was trying out some new photo album software recently and I had 300 of just Hanna and I've only had her since August 2002. So I figure I have over 1000 of all three.

Whatever it is, my husband takes a picture of it. For a holiday week he usually takes 10 -15 films. There are nearly no pix of me before I met him but hundreds then. Now we have the cats which makes it much easier for me to pass my life unphotographied....(not fully but it's better then it used to be)

Digital cameras are so great! Since I have had it I have taken hundreds of my dog and after eight weeks of being owned by Ebby I have 110 that I kept and saved on the computer and am taking more each day!

I do tend to delete a lot though.
