Janet England's Blog: Mews and Nips: How to Take Better Photos of Cats

I take dozens of photos of Allegra and Ruby every week. After all, the more photos you take, the better your chances of getting that one really great shot (and thank goodness for digital photography, right? I’m sure some of you still remember the days when we had to wait for film to be developed.) I’m always striving for better photos with fewer takes, and I liked the 12 tips for taking better cat photos I found on Bored Panda earlier this week.

If you missed any of the stories featured on the Conscious Cat this week, here’s a recap: on Sunday, we announced that Tortitude: The BIG Book About Cats with a BIG Attitude is now available for pre-order, on Monday, we offered information on how to get your cat used to being on your lap, on Tuesday, we reviewed the new Mini Cubby glass bowls from PawNosh, on Wednesday, we asked you to vote on a holiday t-shirt design (watch our Facebook page for an announcement on which design will be offered for sale. or check back here tomorrow) and on Friday, we spread the word about the Kickstarter campaign to fund a new tour bus for Samantha Martin and the Acro-Cats. And don’t forget to enter our giveaway for a Flitter Fly toy from Petlinks!

Today’s video of a mother cat hugging one of her kittens is sure to melt your heart – enjoy!
