As so many food bloggers know, it can be difficult to take photos of food. You have to arrange your subject on the plate. You have to have decent lighting. You have to have a plesantly contrastive backdrop. You have to keep your pets away.
Head over to eat stuff to see other people’s cats. Thanks, Clare, for giving me an excuse to post this photo. One other site of interest is Stuff on My Cat, hosting a collection of cats with stuff on them.
And, no, I didn’t let him eat the pie.

August 13, 2005Hah! I had to move my comet truffle to an upper shelf because Audrey’s so used to just walking all over the counter.

August 13, 2005Our kitty is always following my around in the kitchen just waiting for something to drop!

August 14, 2005The cat was so close to the pie! You must’ve taken a quick shot and immediately moved the plate away, right? 😉

August 14, 2005boo_licious – My cat would have been at sushi too quickly to get a shot like this!
Mrs d – With all the pretty sugar work, she might have thought it was a toy!
Joe – This guy begs shamelessly. You can’t tell from the picture, but he definatley isn’t hurting for food…
Piggy – I did move it after this shot. He walked around it a bit before he moved in, but he was moving very slowly, so I wasn’t too concerned that he’d get a bite before I could move the plate. I was suprised that he didn’t try to paw at it to see what it was. He definately seemed to be more attracted to the crust than the filling, though.

Farmgirl – It is a food blog, so I had to sneak some in with my kitty.

August 17, 2005Nic, he is a beautiful cat – do you mind if I ask you his name?
Nic
August 17, 2005Thanks Keiko. His name is Dusty. Your comment makes me smile because, while I agree, he is really quite fat and rather ungraceful. He spends a lot of time rolling about looking more goofy than pretty. I think he feels falttered by your compliment, though.
