Wordless Wednesday – Not Getting the Shot…

I’ve given up.  We have kittens – the cute boys have been here for 2 weeks, and for  2 weeks I have tried and tried to get a shot of them together..sitting nicely and smiling at the camera.

Okay, maybe not even smiling. Just sitting still.  Turns out kittens do not sit still unless they are sleeping.  And if you have 2 kittens, if 1 moves, the other one chases.

This is all for me to say that you will never see a cute picture of both our kittens awake and together. EVER.

Not that you care.

So I have hired body doubles.
Photobucket
Just pretend they are a cute orange tabby and a darling black tuxedo cat.

Would it be inhumane to glue their kitty butts the floor just for a few moments?  Wait, don’t answer that.

    *DIES* That was hilarious! I love it.
    And as long as it’s not hot glue, I am really not seeing a problem……..

    It’s better to glue the kitties to the floor than your kids…which I have considered in all seriousness at times! I wanna see them getting bigger!

    My best cat shots are taken when they are asleep :-)

    Love the stunt doubles though!

    lol, the stunt doubles are ingenious! No wonder most cute photos of kittens are when they are napping…I just always thought it was because they are so cute asleep!

    I thought the photo by the window of the two of them was pretty fantastic. I need to call you for Alice in Wonderland party ideas.

    I think tuxedo cats are sooo pretty!

    I’m sure they’ll quit sleeping all the time pretty soon, and hopefully they’ll post for the camera!
