He lives down in Woodside in a cool house amongst the trees with several other cats, including a Turkish Van named Germanicus who’s getting his own blog post later this week.

Shir Panjeh was rescued through Humanimal Connection and loves playing with twist ties and chasing laser pointers into compromising locations (see below).

Shir Panjeh, here’s your sneak peak. Which shot do you like for the poster?

They’ve been running a Bay Area Top Pet contest for the last few weeks and needed a photographer to get some good shots of the winners: Zach, a really cool border collie mix;  and Francesca, a beautiful tabby.

We ended up shooting at the studio, which is not my typical sort of venue (I prefer a place where the animals feel a bit more at home…like home or a park). However, it ended up turning out great and we got a bunch of excellent shots which they turned into really funny web and print ads for the contest winners. The print ad actually ran in today’s Sunday San Francisco Chronicle as a 3/4 page placemetn. See the ads below and other good shots from the shoot here.
