Hello Mary
I love the first photo over the second one, because the first one has
such a nice
angle for your cat. The lighting is just right and he or she seems to
be looking at
something interesting( A treat maybe) to get those eyes to light up.
Also don't let the cold weather keep you indoors. Just dress warm and
get those photo gloves with the thin liner( they sell the liners at
Sports Authority) and your hands would be fine. The 60mm lens is a
great lens for this kind of shooting and cannot say enough accolades
on the D90
My daughter has too cats and I really want to photograph them as soon
as I can.

Hi Lowell,

Thank you for your comments. I should try to get out more. Hard to do during the week though, since I work all day and by the time I get home, it's already dark. I'm not much of an early bird to be getting up at dawn!

I really love the 60mm...it's a sharp lens and I like how I can get close to my subject. I hope to use it for real macro work once spring arrives and the green stuff starts blooming again.

--Being an old timer here I will be able to give you the definitive
answer to your question. Back in 2004 a girl from Sweden, named Petra
(Powerpet) started CATS (Cute Animal Treasures Society) on the Nikon
Talk Forum (NTF). I'm going to give you a good link that will tell
you all about this Society.

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1031&message=12897003

Powerpet has been inactive on the forums for 2.6 yrs. In my opinion,
you can resurrect that Society, or start your own, similar to the
WSSA, which I take care of, and have a call for members. I'm sure it
will be popular and is a great opportunity for forum members to post
pictures of their pets. As you can see, on my signature, I am a
[proud] member of CATS.

Take a look at Petra's threads. You should do it Mary!

Thank you for your kind comments and the info on CATS. I'll give it some thought. I have a feeling there are quite a few cat photographers on this forum. ;)

Mary,
Those were great shots, I love the first one, I love the way you
angle the shot. It would be nice if a Cats gallery is created. I am
sure us Cat lovers will appreciate all those nice cat pics. Anyway
I just thought I should share my favorite shot of my kitty Liam.
Any C & C would would be appreciated.

--Ouch! Maybe, but she had plenty of members. You could look it up.

Mary, I didn't mean anything by it. I shoot my own two cats with
relative frequency and I would bet there are plenty of members.
Couldn't help but smile at the acronym though. :)

I have a feeling there are just as many guys on here who photograph their cats as there are women. ;)
