My wife and I volunteer at our local shelter to work with the kitties. Since I have been shooting photos for over 60 years, I thought that maybe I could help the kitties get adopted by making pictures of them and post them on facebook. "Shooting kitties" has been great fun and bloody for me(at times). There have been some very interesting shots over the past 7 years. This one, this week, really caught my attention. I surprised this fellow and he wasn't ready for his portrait. Thus he tried to inform me to go way. I didn't take him seriously but I still wanted to show his surprise. These two shots are of the same fellow 2 minutes apart with a few calming words between them. These were shot with Nikon Z6 II and kit lens.

You interrupted my nap!

OK, the apology and the treat are accepted.

I, too, take photos of animals at our local shelter. You may have calmed the cat down somewhat, but the eyes still say he's suspicious. Nevertheless, it's really a great shot. From my experience, you sometimes just have to take what the animals give you.

The eyes are still dilated in the second shot. Unless the lighting was very low, those eyes tell that he/she is still not a happy camper. Good shots of a very pretty cat.
