Meet My Beautifully Unphotogenic Cats

ADVERTISEMENT

Hello everyone! Im Squidwizard and these are my two cats: Fritatta and Ciabatta. They’re each about 4 years old. Fritatta was an abandoned stray kitten found in a gas-station parking lot when she was about 3 months old. I bought Ciabatta from an abusive shelter environment when she was about 7 months old.

Although I’ve taken a spare few good pictures of them, for some reason I cannot seem to get a good photo of either of them! I’ve given up on the usual pretty-shmetty pictures that you’d usually want, and instead I’ve embraced how awful each photo is! Comedy and photography combined, am I right? 

RELATED:

    Hello everyone! This is Fritatta

    Yes, we spell it differently.

    And this is Ciabatta

    Both beautiful kitties

    (And helpful-ish.)

    Very sweet and proud

    Graceful and photogenic

    ADVERTISEMENT

    …sort of

    Oh dear.

    They always want me to take a picture

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Because no matter how much I try

    No matter how many attempts

    (It’s heckin impossible)

    It’s like a curse

    But the best curse ever

    ADVERTISEMENT

    So, everyone: meet Ciabatta

    Ow! *^*

    And Fritatta

    My cats

    (All of these were taken on my iPhone 5)

    the elusive squidwizard is often seen at her local "food container of large quantities" or "fridge" for short. Otherwise it is a rarity to see it. If caught, The squidwizard will attack using general awkwardness and sarcasm. She traveled the universe, searching. Eventually, she finally reached her destination and gazed into the velvety depths of the great abyss. The divinity living within granted her a gift of neverending puns and a deep understanding of satire and it's uses. Thesquidwizard is an socially awkward Ailurophile (cat lover) by day and a secret meme dealer by night.

    Whenever I pull out the camera to take a pic of my cats they run away or turn around so I can only get a pic of their back:))_

    It is a strange item ! Ruuuun. Cats are naturally paranoid. It is ok. Just have your camera out all the time. When they get used to the look of it, they might still panic if it makes a noise. And their reactions are reallllly fast. Good luck.

    They are super photogenic in their own fashion. I love the photos with the plant.

    You have 2 beautiful cats. The last frame is hilarious. - Cropping the photos a little can make a big difference.

    Those kitties are so lucky they have a loving home. And they are sweet looking, models or not!

    My Calico Girl would come running if she saw me take a picture of her little brother. She wanted to be in the picture too! Her little brother passed away 3 years ago and now she shies away from the camera.

    I don't agree with your assessment at all! Your photos of your cats are wonderful and they look quite beautiful to me!

    So they're not the 'best' photographs ever taken. Your two cats are beautiful, and I suspect you are too.

    Your cats are so cute, I have rats and i can never get a good picture of them either because they only stay still when they are eating or sleeping. So I get it. I love them anyway!

    Hahaha .... two years ago! Well I hope you've had more luck lately :) I was going for my daily fix of cuteness and came across this post, and it didn't disappoint. In the past year my two adorable felines died (not at the same time because that would be weird), however, when I go to find a cute picture so people can join me in my sad moment. Nothing not a single beach, sunset or yoga pose in sight - but the photos did bring a smile to my face. Thank you for keeping it real x

    Never met a cat that wasn't beautiful. Frittata and Ciabatta just prove my point. Adorable.
