Hi all

I'm Shiloh and sort of a new member on the forum. I joined earlier but then my kitty died and for a few months there was no kitty in my life.

Now, there are two little balinese babies - CheChe (big sister) and TiTi (little brother). No surprise that they are related. They are 3+ months and really nice.

I've been reading the forum and it is full of great info on taking care of cats and kitties. Hope I can learn more from "cat-experts" on the forum.

Which brings me to the first question - How can I take picture of the kitties - they don't stop moving and everything I've tried comes out blurry. Also their eyes reflects and look red like zombie cats - scary. All suggestions and advice welcome.



I'll

welcome aboard.......well, taking pictures of cats can be fun especially when they cant seem to wanna sit still.....why not take pics of them when their sleeping for a start??..they do look adorable in that position...as for the eye color....normal maaa...look at my cats pics, then u'll see the similarities... have fun here and regards...

Hi Rozita - I know all about your safari plans! Thanks for the welcome.

There's a lot of pantang on taking pix of sleeping cats - so sez my mother & mother-in-law. Actually, the moms say my last kitty died becoz i took pix of him while he was sleeping. While I don't believe them...

The kitties also look so cute when they are running around and looking at things, but can't capture it.

I'm so bad at this photography thing

Hi shiloh... try not using the flash when taking pictures of your cat, as the cats' eyes tend to reflect the light coming from the flash, causing the "zombie" effect...

my safari plans???...haha..guess news do go around fast....well, safari not yet lah....baru 4, by raya there'll be 1 more kitty....after raya maybe another 2...hehe.....me n family just adore them, so have them lor.....and yes...like joll mentioned, skip the flash....about cat dying after taking pics, well, i havent encountered yet.....and hopefully will not...touch wood...

thanks jolll. I try'll without the flash.

my kitties are off-white, one is chocolate point and the other is blue/grey point. in pix they look "washed-out" but in person or in-kitty they look gorgeous (I'm not very objective about em).

ever seen those posed pix of cat show winners - how in the world did they get the cats to sit still for so long and get such great shots. maybe pedigreed cats are more photogenic

hi shiloh, welcome to the club...good luck ya,hope the photo will be bettet this time..dont forget to send them ok...w'll be waiting...
