Hi all! Valentine’s Day, being single, has been a sad day for me for years. This year I decided to make it into a party and Teddy was going to be my partner in this party. He was going to get a very special Valentine’s photo shoot.
First lesson learned: don’t wait to buy Valentine props until Valentine’s Day, because everything is sold out! Of course I did manage to find some nice things eventually and ended up buying way more than I needed, I had to look hard and visit a lot more stores than I intended. Well, at least I had something to choose from.
I set up a scenery and then the difficult part began: getting Teddy interested in being a photo model. I’m still learning this together with him. We’re both novices at this. I rubbed a little catnip on the pillow which I wanted him to pose him to try and entice him. I know, I’m a bad cat mommy. At first he got pretty excited, but it looked more like he was trying to murder the pillow. He had fun, which was my priority. He lost attention quickly, so I tried to bring in the treats. He loves his treats, which is actually just his regular food, but somehow if I throw it at him one piece at a time, he seems to think it’s something special. This was good enough for a couple more photos. By the time he really wasn’t interested anymore, and went over to the couch to watch me with this triumphant look which only a cat can, it was getting too dark anyway. After a shoot with Teddy, it’s always exciting to wait untill the photos are uploaded to my computer, so I can see if there is at least one decent picture. I was happily surprised to find a couple of very cute photos.I set up a scenery and then the difficult part began: getting Teddy interested in being a photo model.

I hope you enjoyed your Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to be in love with someone to make this into a great day. There will be another post on Valentine’s Day soon, as I came up with another idea to share some love. So stay tuned. See you soon!
