Cats Do Appreciate Your Time


There are many ways to keep your cat busy, but you don’t always have to be too creative, cats do also appreciate it if you just recognize them. I do play often with my cat, but sometimes I do just show her that I am there and that I want to share my time. This can either be done by stroking or combing the cat, mentioning the name regularly to see the reaction, or following the cat when they want to show you something. There are so many ways to pay attention, playing is great but not the only thing … Continue reading Cats Do Appreciate Your Time

Experimental Kitty Photo In Black And White


This is a photo of Shyna that I shot in the first weeks after purchasing the D7100. I did all kind of test or experimental shots to get used to the camera. The photo was not that good with colours and decided to change the image to black and white. I couldn’t remove the distracting highlights or overexposed areas on the fur, that’s the point when I usually try out black and white and it often works well.

Relax Like A Pro


My fault, I placed this carton in the basked of Shyna, and she likes it now. Ok, that is dramatized, in fact she liked the carton from the beginning after I unwrapped something I bought online.

Anyway, I think it’s time to take it out of her basket, she did a good job of scratching the box. Time to order something new online so that she gets a new cardboard box after unwrapping. If … Continue reading Relax Like A Pro

Yawning Cat


I thought to do a photo shooting with Shyna again. I was outside with the camera the whole weekend and it is sunday and shooting photos at home was now the more practical idea. I didn’t expect anything special while shooting photos with my cat, but then I saw her yawning and as the camera was set for fast shutter speed I had some luck to capture the moment. Well, I learned already, photography is often more about coincidences as in this case. There are some things I am unhappy with, the highlights due to the sun shining through the … Continue reading Yawning Cat

Dear Cat Diary, Here Is Another Entry And Photo


As this blog is not only my own diary but also the diary of a cat, the diary of Shyna to be more clear, there shouldn’t be too much days without a new photo of her. The weather is too bad to get out with the camera, but I can use the time to upload some photos to Shyna’s cat diary. There is something new to tell. She is usually not a cat that brings toys if she wants to play, I rather had to guess what kind of toys she would like to play with, but recently she started … Continue reading Dear Cat Diary, Here Is Another Entry And Photo
