YES! This is exactly what my Mr. MagicFatPants looks and acts like! Excellent update.

Okay, now I’ve seen Teho’s hand. Now I’ve seen it all (the shtuff that was hidden in the picture, I mean)

AuntieM, I predict you are going to feel a bit “duh” (as the small monkeys say) when you find it…

This makes me miss my “Shadow” SOOO much.. he’s been gone over 2 years.. I still get teary thinking about him. The sweetest cat that ever lived and the most gorgeous.. solid black, green eyes. omg. snf.

Teho, did you edit it? Why can’t I find “squawk monkeys” anymore???

This is just like my Midnight and his attitude to a t (though would it be more correct to say “cattitude”?)!

It also helps if you take a bunch of shots this way, then pick the best one later. Just dump the others; digital “film” is only as permanent as you want it to be.

(I know this is really basic stuff, but it’ll serve you well.)

I am delurking also…I luv black kittehs! I have a black cat named Ettie and am glad you posted how you took that photo. I will try to get better shots of her using your approach. =^..^=

@whiskers: You think you can negotiate? Tsk, poor deluded human.

@wet blankets: There is no such thing as a standard cat.

Hey Lisa, I’ve got a cookie for your head, and it’s not cute either.
