Hall of Fur Championships

With camera in our right hand and superball from Tiny's collection in our left, we toss, shoot and retrieve, toss, shoot and retrieve till by sheer luck we get a couple of shots that capture the spirit of the game.

"Nardo's a bit particular about how that feather dangles and jumps around," writes Laurence of This Blog is Full of Crap in a shocking expose of the shameless manipulation of toys that catbloggers employ to get their cats to perform in front of the lens.  His case is more complicated than most:

I kept trying to snap a good action photo of him, but I was doing the camera with my right hand, and my left hand's not as dexterous as it used to be . . . my southpaw just wasn't doing it for him like my right hand does.

No one ever said catblogging was going to be easy.

Striking a Statue of Liberty pose, Tiny lifts her paw beside the orange ball.

Using her tail as a rotational brake, she spins around as the ball flies out of bounds.

Sports photography is a natural, of course, when you have a Table Tennis Hall of Fur Champion in the house.

The "Statue of Liberty Pose" is just great. The look on her face is priceless!

Ah, I recognize that expression! Now if only I could capture it on my own cats...

The singleminded intensity... *grin* I love it.

Cats know everything.
