Es ist nicht leicht, die Freundschaft
Einer Katze zu gewinnen. Théophile Gautier
"Cats in Islamic countries...
...are considered to be very clean animals. The Prophet Mohammed is said to have kept cats himself, and popular legend tells that one time, the Prophet had to respect the call to prayer, but his cat was sleeping on the sleeve of his robe. Rather than awake the cat, the Prophet simply tore his sleeve, and went of to prayer. Source
- Put the cat on a pillow.
- Set up your camera.
- Put the cat back on the pillow.
- Get a bowl of food and put it next to the pillow.
- Put the cat back on the pillow.
- Grab the food bowl and follow the cat. As you run, hold the bowl in our cat's face, tempting her to eat.
- See if the neighbours will come over and pick up the sofa while you snap a picture of the cat underneath.
- Cross the names of your neighbours off the list for your next party.
- Put the cat back on the pillow.
- Place a catnip-stuffed mouse in front of your cat and wait for your cat to go crazy.
- Go back to the pet store and demand a refund.
- Decide on a family portrait with the cat instead.
- To stop the argument over which child gets to pose with the cat, agree to take pictures of each child holding the cat on her lap.
- Tell each child that it doesn't matter who holds the cat first because you'll shuffle the pictures after they're developed and look at them in a different order than the order they were taken.
- Get more cats, one for each child, and go back to step one.
Well we have to admit that this page is still waiting for a photo of Tommy our Mascot, since only his brother Jerry (see photo) was willing to hold still for a photo shooting ....
