Shutter Sisters

Mind reader

By

Cats are complex creatures and mine is no exception. I’ve known Roxy for several years by now and I’m still puzzled by her behavior. She is unpredictable and moody most of the time, but sweet and attention-starved when I least expect it (or have time for it). I wish I could read her mind, but since I don’t have any psychic abilities I’ll settle for using my camera to get inside her head. Staring at a photo like the one above, I feel like I can see right into her tortured, teen-angsty soul.

Don’t you wish you could read your pet’s mind? Leave a picture in the comments accompanied by your best guess as to what they were thinking the moment you snapped the shot.

  2. What a wonderful shot. I've lived with a number of cats, all different, distinctive personalities. They all remain an enigma.

  7. Please tell us how you got that shot and edited it! I want to do pictures like this of my own cat. He's very photogenic but I've never been able to get a pictures like yours.

  8. Oh, what a fun topic! I have no idea how to choose just one to share. Forgive me. 🙂

    "Ummm… excuse me. Did you eat my mouse again?"

    "It wasn't me who dug all those holes and ate the broccoli out of the garden and chewed the trim off the front door and left dead baby raccoons all over the yard. Nope. Not me."

    Yes, it's amusing that you're holding me upside down. But I've had enough now, thankyou."

    "Are you sure it's not poisoned?"

  12. That is a great shot! I love taking photos of my cat too. I grew up with dogs, and when I finally got a place of my own, my now husband and I got a cat. I have been totally converted, as they are so independent. Sadly, our first was hit by a car at only 9 months old, and our second cat went missing at 4 years old, but each had their own special traits that I will never forget. Our current cat Keechka is such a patient and gentle cat. Here are a few of my favourite photos of her, as well as my interpretation of what was going thru her mind at the time.

  23. Amazing portrait!

    I wish I could read Cora's mind, my sweet 8-month-old border collie.
    Here's one of my favourite pic of her: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eleonoraf/6267301681/in/set-72157627947605986
    Here she was 3 months old and she has just arrived at our home. She was a little scary and shy (now she's quite the opposite XD). I'm sure here she was scrutinizing me and thinking: "Who is this human being? And what is she doing to me with that black strange object in her hands?!"
