BUMMER! : After I sent my post I thought of what the cat may do? That was if you could get down to floor level. :-( That it would run right over and begin rubbing his head on your camera or hand? With our cats (5) that was always a challenge that required patients and often one of my kids helping. OR? Best time? Right after they've had a big meal and are more inclined to just lie about. cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Crawford Sent: August-09-17 9:29 PM To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] Bookstore Cat If I were to do that, I would need someone to pick me up. I suffered a stroke in 2013 and just plain don?t have the physical capability to do things like that. The right side of my body has almost no strength! Last time I got on my belly was at home, trying to find something I dropped under my desk and I couldn?t get up. My son and one of his friends had to pick me up. At the bookstore, there was no one who could help me; my son wasn?t with me and the store?s owner is a man my dad?s age who just had a hip replaced! I think I?d have a hard time getting the pic anyway, even if I could get down there and get back up safely. This cat was DYING for attention, and when I sat on a chair to try to get a lower pic, every time she would run to me and begin rubbing my legs. Took her a long time and a lot of petting to get her to go back to ?work? doing her usual 'watching over the store' routine. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 8/9/17, 11:33 PM, "LUG on behalf of Ted Grant" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of tedgrant at shaw.ca> wrote: >Hi Chris, >A CHAMPION looking cat! :-) >A suggestion to make him more powerful looking only because he has such >strong looking character and expression and I love the books background! >If you have the time and another opportunity for a frame or two? >Flop down on your belly flat out on the floor and go for it!
