For many of us, cats are such a vital part of our lives that we love them just like our own babies. We would want to capture all our precious moments with them. Whether it’s their expressions, their silly acts or their beauty, we don’t want to miss a single chance of capturing those beautiful memories which we can cherish later in life. However, the problem is, taking pictures of your cat can be really tricky, especially when they don’t really like to sit still. If you have managed to come across this article, chances are that you own a cat or maybe two and you love taking pictures of your cats like everyone else does.
I mean, if you look around at the people who have cats, their entire phone’s gallery is filled with the pictures of their cats. Some pictures turn out to be aesthetically beautiful while the others…well, we are just trying to make them sit still for the perfect shot! Don’t worry, that’s very normal because when photographing cats, you should always expect a high failure rate! Cats are certainly not the types who would strike obliging poses for long. Just as you’ve taken the shot and if your phone’s camera shutter sound is on, they are just going to walk up to you and start sniffing up the lens. If not, they are just going to turn their heads the exact moment you release the shutter of your camera.
The internet is all about cat nowadays. People posting aesthetic pictures of their cats and sharing it with the world. But did you know, this practice isn’t something new and has been going on for decades? Obviously, we didn’t have any social media back then but we are talking about the portrait shots taken from Polaroid cameras! Vintage shots, as we call it. We have managed to get our hands on one of the vintage collection which was created by Alice Madicott who happens to be a writer, educator and an artist from Somerset, England. Moreover, she’s a proud author of Cat Women: An Exploration of Feline Friendships and Lingering Superstitions. The purpose of this vintage collection was to depict the strong bond between the people and their adorable little felines.
So, let’s go ahead and take a look at the beautiful collection of those vintage photos of women with their cute little kitties! Some of them might appear a bit creepy as they are vintage but you’re going to love them!
The bond between these two is unbreakable!
Such a beautiful shot!
We believe you, lady.
Adorable!
Such a precious moment captured beautifully.
It took me a while to notice! 😀
And look at this one. That’s a little angel in her lap.
Cat be like, “come on, Rosie. I can’t do this every day!”
But let’s just take a minute to admire her garden as well!
But look at the cat, she’s all confident and looking straight into the lens.
Alice said, “I became a cat woman the moment I was hit with a thud of love that I’d never realized a creature could produce,”. Furthermore, she added, “I never thought I’d become a cat lady, but, as I think of it now, the strangest thing is that it is something you can become.”
Look at the cats being annoying. Yes, they can be very annoying and cute at the same time.
Should have waited for that cute little girl to hold her kitty!
While the lady can relax now.
Such a cute picture though!
Kitty be like, “It’s too much sun out here, take me inside, hooman!”
And the kitty just isn’t in the mood!
Why does the cat look drunk? lol
Hansel be like, “I hate pictures. Imma just do my own thing”
The way she’s holding that adorable little kitty…awww!
Except for the kitty doesn’t seem to be interested in posing for the picture.
And we have reached the end of this amazing vintage collection! Some pictures were kinda creepy though, weren’t they? Or is it just the polaroid effect?
