This week readers Matt and Avis have called my attention to two cat photo websites you’ll want to see—that is, if you’re an ailurophile (and you shouldn’t be here otherwise).
The first is a small site called “Marvelous cat photography,” by “Abduzeedo,” a Brazilian whose real name is Paulo Gabriel, an avowed but open-minded “d-g person”. Paulo collects striking cat pictures from other people, and here’s a sample (you can see each photographer’s portfolio by clicking the images on the original site):
Cat in the snow:
The second is a tumblr website called Catasters, which apparently is short for “cats + disasters,” which purports to show moggies in trouble or incipient trouble. But in most cases they’re just funny. Here are a few shots:
Epic photobomb, reminiscent of my cat beard contest:
These are from only the first 5 pages; there are are 528 others!
I like the Catasters but catastrophe would have been a better portmanteau – “cat” is a jewel for portmanteaus!
Of the photos on the Marvelous Cat Photography site, the one with the cat on the railing looks amazing! I like the rembrant lighting of the cat and the uneasy feeling you get looking at the cat balanced on the railing.
That last one is amazing–it took multiple views before I could see what was really going on.
#7 is for Squawk boy.
Very grateful for your words. On behalf of all cats in the world: Thank you!
