Here are my cats: Boogie and Jinx (both ragdolls)

A question for serious cat people

How common are the large, tufted ears that you see in this member of our famiily?

He was left by his mother on one of our graduate students' doorstep, raised bottle-fed in the lab and to this day is fond of sleeping on computer keyboards.

I think tufted ears are unusual, but not actually rare.

Mine's still young, but he's got the large ears part The challenge is getting him to sit still long enough for a picture.

The other pet that gets photographed occasionally is perhaps more of a challenge. Shriek wants to be perched ON me. The best technique I've found so far is to use a 50mm macro.

I'm about to embark on a project with a bunch of newly born guppies, but those won't be sappy pet portraits

Fish are pets too! and a very tough subject, I've got some I'll post shortly.

Nice shots Cem! I particularly like the last one - getting a cat to look at the camera is a trick.

Gorgeous, the both of them!

I think more common in oriental cats than in domestic shorthairs. Thistle's are a bit tufted. Although he was a rescue at 4 months, of unknown venue, the vet thought he is a Burmese blue.

But, I'm not an authority.

I don't know--would be challenge shooting through glass and water! Just Do It!

I love your cat, and your bird, also.
