Trouble is when I was looking for Rumpuss the cat rescue place didn't have any posh breeds - just boot-faced cats with ears like old bus tickets!

Yeah, but the 57 cats are always the best to own. He's pretty hard work, extremely vocal and strong willed. Very affectionate too though. I was seduced by his stylish good looks when he was a kitten, how could you say no to this?

That chair!!! I know many people with cats who have staked a claim on that very same Ikea model! Funny world innit!

Well, when I moved into my house, I had no furniture. Since I don't use chairs, I wasn't going to buy any. Unfortunately my friends seemed to think it would be impolite to make them sit on the floor , so I got the cheapest thing I could from Ikea. However, you're right, they quickly became the cat's property, and now no-one uses them because they're always covered in fur

IN this new Sony Camera review ...

www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_f828-review/index.shtml

the reviewer show's off how the camera can focus & frame with zero light.. and then flash for the photo. Result: 1 REALLY p*ssed off looking cat. Top photo

I suspect SHE is more pd off because they called HER Pete!

Tried taking some photos of my cat(s) on my current digital camera, still getting scary eyes.

Reckon that's the flash bouncing straight in and out of the poor moggy's eyeballs (they have a reflective layer behind the retine). Possible answers are: using available light instead of flash, shooting the mog from an angle, or using a seperate flash...

Heehehe, thats the norm for cat photography

When you get the 300D it should come with adobe elements 2.0, editing the eyes is far safer than multiple flash events in the moggies eyes I always find

Here's a couple of pics of Big Fred...

It's the same reason their eyes light up in car headlights. Don't worry chim_girl, you'll be able to shoot without flash in pretty low light with your 300D And if not, you can get a nice tilt head flash for only £250

That pic of Big Fred is superb! Was he really grinning or did you knock him out and hang him on??

[nighthawkEP3]

Big fred is a cracker
I imagine you were lying on the floor looking up at him for that shot?

Would have been funny if he woke up and jumped on the camera macromoggyphotography

Yup I was on the floor looking up. He's used to being photographed now, and he's always resting, so its easy....and cats are just soooo photogenic.

That's no cat, that's GODZILLA !!!!!!!!!
