Puffie Brings Home TICA Hardware!

Posted on by cecile

Puffie is a TICA star!!

A few weeks ago I had the honour to take photos of two very fluffy Ragdoll cats. Unlike my own Bengals, these cats are super chill.

The owner wanted a blue background similiar to that used by TICA. I found a brand new blue velvety wallpaper for the background and a blue chaise for the cat to stand or sit on. Both were found on FB Marketplace. I really liked the texture of the wallpaper as I felt it added depth and luxuriousness to the image. And, the blue was spot on.

As always, I schedule either a morning or an afternoon session for my clients leaving us ample time to get the shots needed. I never rush a session and let the cats or dogs decide when it’s time to wrap up. Beside the standard profile and head on shot we also decided to capture Puffie’s fun side. His pink pads are over the top with cuteness!

A few days after the photo session Puffie captured 4 Best Premier finals including a 2nd Best and a 6th Best at the TICA show in Toronto (May 2026).

Congratulations to Puffie and his owner Athena Wang for a job well done!!

Rascally Rabbits

Posted on by cecile

It’s been busy at Cool Cat Photography. Big live fluffy rabbits with floppy ears. Real life sized Gunds!

Working with the rabbits was nothing short of fun. I set up my tables, paper and lights and they didn’t listen to cues, sniffed, ate, and kept wanting to hop away. LOL! But, you just can’t get mad at them. Waaay too cute and funny! So, I worked at their pace like I do with all my animal clients. The pets dictate the session. I just provide the equipment and the skills to take fun, family portaits!

Cats, dogs, horses, and now rabbits. Interested in photos of your furry friend? I’d love to hear from you.

Cats are Not Dogs

Except for Bengals. They are, cat-dogs.

More boisterous than other felines these mini-leopards run, jump, explore, play in water, and then run and jump some more. Which makes photographing them interesting, fun and real test in patience and skills.

Meet Casper. He’s a 5 month old Bengal who is unusually timid. Probably because he was the runt of his litter and confidence is a struggle for him. Photographing him was a bit more difficult over other cats and dogs I’ve worked with but with some patience and a few tricks up my sleeve I was able to get him to relax enough to show his sweet side.

Before I take photos of animals I meet with their owners to get a sense of their pets personality. That’s what I’m interested in. I want to capture what makes them them – their uniqueness, their quirks, their grimaces, their furry smile and their thoughts. The fun, and the pure awesomeness that went with having them by my side day in and day out. That’s how I would want to remember my pet.

I try not to keep the animal longer than needed. I realise they have more important things to do in their lives like eat and play. Sometimes a photo session can last 30 minutes or longer than an hour. Whatever the case, I don’t rush it. I’m flexible and work with you and your pet.
