Ida wondering WTF I am doing. by *mudslinger-ning on deviantART
It takes a bit of timing to get some shots just right – dealing with the delayed press of the camera button on taking and saving the digital image – to getting the feline subject to be looking in the right direction just as the picture is taken.
One trick I do is when I am ready to take the shot (and often starting to press the shutter button) I make a small pop or hiss noise with my mouth or click my fingers just above or near the lens or direction I want the cat to face.
If they stare long enough I can then capture nice detailed shots – if they keep moving I just get more blurry pics.
Gizmo – Stare #2 by *mudslinger-ning on deviantART
Another cool wide-eyed stare from my blind cat.
(waits for the chorus of “Awww!”)

I thought the facial expression was priceless at the time.
Picture was taken on a old low-capacity smartphone and it seems I lost the original 2-megapixel image… dammit!

With a stare like this – you might not have known the cat was blind… Except for the fact the pupils are wide open…
When a cat looks worried…. by ~mudslinger-ning on deviantART
It’s a challenge trying to get a good photo of a homeless cat in order to help with their rehoming – tried a few attempts to get a nice clear shot.
This turned out to be the clearest shot I got along with nice wide open “awww” eyes.
(It’s since been rehomed by the way – so no need to panic)
