Description
New Cats in ActionAs part of their development, we have been getting our two Maine Coon cats, Sam and Tabitha, to run about in the garden. Maine Coons can be very big cats when fully grown and they can carry quite some muscle mass. We don't want these two to be wholly house cats with oodles of fat, but well developed high power pussies. Here are some photos of the cats in action, along with some photography notes about snapping moving animals.

The first thing you need to do if you want to photograph a cat running about is the get the cat to run about. Here we have an example of a "stationary cat" - not one that is sitting on a ream of paper - but one that is not moving. This is the natural state for a cat and in this case no amount of cajoling, no offer of cat treats and no amount of cussing could get Tabitha to move. When I put the camera down she then decided to run. Fortunately, I can re-sight my camera very quickly and I managed this second shot. Whil
