Attention, Kitty people! My good friends at Nine Lives Foundation are trying to find homes for a few special kitties currently being fostered by one of their star volunteers. I got a chance to meet them when I was there photographing two other cats for a Pet Food Express poster. There are four approximately 3-month [...]

Photo of the Day This spy in training is a Siamese-mix named Chai I worked with a few weeks ago for a Pet Food Express My Mutt poster. A lot of folks ask me how I deal with cats — especially if they’re on the skittish or sly side — and I always say that [...]

Wow, where have the last two weeks gone. I’m emerging from the vortex for part one of a two-parter — a shoot a did a few weeks back up in Marin for a three-cat/one dog household. Because the cats were so much fun I’m giving them their own sneak peek (you know how cats are [...]

I love a good pet name and last week I met a cat with a wonderful handle: Mikey Valentine. Is that awesome or what? One day I’d love for him to meet a dog pal of mine named Zev Valentine. Can you imagine the adventures those two could have? Mikey’s mom made a donation in [...]

River: Cat on a Roll

I’ve had a nice run with cats of late. Not only have there been more than usual but almost all of them have been total camera hams — which brings me to River, the ham of the hour. River’s mom had forewarned me that River might be a little shy but that was not to [...]

My cat photo run continues with a pair of kitties named Squeak and Kona (I keep thinking they should start a law firm) who live in a lovely spot down in the Castro with lots of wonderful art on the walls and a wealth of cat-friendly perches. Squeak is the older of the two and, [...]
