a couple of blog entries ago you met Tigger … big, ol’, easy-going, don’t-wake-me-from-my-nap Tigger. he and the rest of his pride make shooting cats seem easier than shooting fish in a rain barrel … so easy, in fact, i’d be willing to change the business name to scraggly cat photography and start buying fish treats instead of lamb and liver. alas, there are those cat clients who are the essence of why i’m often heard saying — albeit quite fondly – “… and cats, when we have to” in reference to what we shoot at scruffy dog photography.
meet Ziggy …
Ziggy was not at all pleased about our shoot. in fact, i think he would have rather eaten dog poo than face the cameras. but for those who know me, you know i never give up on any animal …
so even though Ziggs wasn’t in the mood and was mostly focused on getting back into the house, i stuck with it … giving him loads of space and using my zoom lens so he could settle.
which he gradually did …
… but not before giving me a few funny faces. this shot below is my favorite of the shoot.
thanks, Ziggy for being as brave as you could, and for showing me those lovely green eyes of yours in spite of your fear. i hope you enjoy your gallery, Nikki.

I love that first shot, and his funny face. Oh, how I love the kitties. Scraggly cat photography…..maybe you are on to something, LOL
You and Ziggy did a fabulous job! I know Ziggy’s human will LOVE these! They are fabulous!
I like to call that funny face “skeptical ear” and I see it from my own feline overlord ALL THE TIME.
Great photos, as always!
