Kitty Ping-Pong And Some Thoughts About Teaching Cats

Dennis

Do you know kitty ping-pong? If not, watch my attached video. My cat loves to play a variant of ping-pong. I roll a ball in her direction and she shoots the ball back to me and sometimes also in other directions. To be honest, I taught her this game. I did roll the ball in front of her paws and waited if she would use her paws to roll it back to me. When this happened, I did give her a reward, one of her favorite cat treats. We did repeat this quite often until she started to understand the … Continue reading Kitty Ping-Pong And Some Thoughts About Teaching Cats

Cat In The Box

Dennis

As I mentioned already, my cat Shyna loves cardboard boxes, however, I don’t think that there is any cat that doesn’t. I shot the snapshot above the day when I uploaded the photo of the other post that I linked here. The photo above was very overexposed with too much highlights and it was hard to fix it so that I decided to make it a little bit black and white, because this is one way to hide the problem. But that didn’t work out well too. That means, I still don’t like the image quality but I like the … Continue reading Cat In The Box

Cat at work…

Dennis

I had a big purchase some weeks ago and the products were delivered in a big cardboard box. Whenever there is a cardboard box, it won’t take much time and Shyna will be on the scene. But I think all cats like cardboard boxes. I formed a habit to leave new cardboard boxes to my cat for a while because it serves some purposes at once,… she can scratch on it, she can relax in it, she can play with it, she can hide in it and so on. I think they really love it. Not sure if I ever … Continue reading Cat at work…

Shyna And Me… Freshly Pressed

Dennis

It was a little bit more silent on my blog over the days. There were some bad and good news that kept me busy but today I only want to talk about the good news. The good news is related to my blog. I have a new photo of my cat for you that you can see above! Ok wait, that happens regularly (laughing). There is something else. One of my posts got a lot of attention as it got featured on the front page of WordPress, or Freshly Pressed as it is called here. I researched some funny cat … Continue reading Shyna And Me… Freshly Pressed

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy

Dennis

My last participation in the Weekly Photo Challenge is some time ago. The reason is that they don´t send out new emails anymore when there is a new challenge. It´s really some time ago when I contacted them about this issue and they said that it is a small hiccup of their servers. This is months ago. Yes, I could still find their challenges in the WordPress reader but if you follow a lot of blogs, you´ll miss some posts. Anyway, I saw another person posting an entry today and thought “Right, I should do that again too!”. The motto … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy

Sleepless Night Photoshop Session

Dennis

Above you can see another new image of Shyna that I edited heavily with Photoshop as the original image was not that good. But I think I like what I made out of it. I really like that artistic or surreal approach because I have enough normal photos of my cat, and I thought why not creating some crazy stuff again. It´s also Photoshop exercise and good for improving. The original had such a bad quality that I decided to delete it afterwards. But I do like the edited image anyhow. It´s definitely an image that I wanted to store … Continue reading Sleepless Night Photoshop Session
