1. Didn't want to pose?

You asked? hahaha
I didn't think cats knew how to do anything except adopt cute poses.

In his autobiography, Norman Rockwell explained his technique for posing finicky animals. Believe it or not, he said he'd pick up the subject, be it a cat or a chicken and "rough it up", shaking it and moving it around. Then he'd set it back down and claimed it sat motionless for him.

I never tried that, but I don't take many pictures of nervous chickens.

A funny one of my Cleo sending me a message.

makes me almost teary.
It is beyond sweet. Like pouring love, trust, contentment and comfort all over the photograph.
