How to Take a Family Portrait with Your Cat

Do you want to take beautiful pictures with your cat? Do you want a photo for your holiday cards that will show you're a single adult who loves their pet? Do you just want to add some animal pictures to your Instagram feed? Well, follow these simple steps for my foolproof tips on how to pose a family picture with your cat.


STEP ONE: Try to lure your cat to your posed set with cat treats. Hope that she will stay to look cute after she eats them. You will probably not succeed.




STEP TWO: Hope that if you stand still in your set for long enough that she will come and join you. Since you know she loves attention and likes to follow you around the apartment, you assume that it will work very easily.




STEP THREE: Even though you know she hates being picked up, scoop her up in your arms and hope that she will cooperate. It will last for the length of one selfie because she hates being picked up.



STEP FOUR: Repeat one through three.



STEP FIVE: Persist.



STEP SIX: Get tired of waiting for your cat to just magically show up where you want her to. Give up.



STEP SEVEN: Attempt to take a solo photo of your outfit by setting up your tripod and using a Bluetooth remote. Make the mistake of sitting in your cat's favorite chair. She will join you in the chair because how dare you take her spot and how dare you hang out without her and how dare you honestly



STEP EIGHT: Accept defeat. You'll only ever get cute photos with her by accident or because she sat on you. You love her anyway.



Happy fourth birthday to Pepper Nora Forbes, the kitty who loves attention, hates my DIY projects, and only knows how to do candid photos.
