Why You Should Absolutely Get Professional Photos of Your Cat

(Yes, Seriously)

Let’s be honest: your cat is already the ruler of your house, your garden, and quite possibly your life. So why not take the next logical step... and give them the full photoshoot treatment?

If you're wondering “Is it really necessary to hire a photographer for my cat?”, the answer is a resounding:

Yes. Yes, it is.

And here's why —

1. Because Cats Don’t Care, and That’s the Magic

Unlike dogs, who aim to please, cats pose like models because they genuinely couldn’t care less. That’s not aloofness — that’s confidence.

They’ll schmize at the camera, give side-eye to your lighting setup, and maybe even knock over your gear — but it’s all part of the aesthetic.

Capturing that unbothered chaos? That's art.

2. You'll Finally Get Photos That Aren’t Blurry Zooms

You know what I’m talking about.

• The tail blur as they leap out of frame.

• A close-up of their foot because they stepped on your phone.

• That one demon-eyed flash photo from 2017.

Hiring a pro (hi) means you’ll finally get beautifully lit, non-possessed-looking shots of your majestic furry little overlord.

3. Milestones Matter (Yes, Even for Whiskers)

Birthdays, Gotcha days, the day they finally tolerated the dog — all valid reasons for a celebration.

If Karen can have a maternity shoot for her chihuahua, you can absolutely have a "1st Anniversary of My Cat Tolerating Me" photoshoot.

4. They’re Already an Internet Celebrity — Embrace It

Does your cat have followers on Instagram? Are they known at the vet for their “don’t touch me” energy?
That’s a brand, baby.

With the right lighting and angles, they’ll go from mere house pet to International Icon faster than you can say “tuna treats.”

5. Someday, You’ll Want to Remember the Weird Stuff

The way they sit like a loaf.

The dead-eyed stare from atop the fridge.

That one time they squeezed into a cereal box.

These moments deserve more than a grainy phone photo. They deserve to be immortalized.
Frame it.
Canvas it.
Put it in the hallway like a royal portrait.

Your future self will thank you (and probably cry a little).

Bonus: You Get to Be in the Photos Too!

Yes, you can (and should) jump in for some shots. Not only will your cat love the attention (debatable), but you’ll get hilarious, chaotic, heartwarming images of your real life together.

Matching outfits optional, but highly encouraged.

Final Thoughts: Cat Photos Are a Public Service

Look. The world is a mess. You know what brings joy?

A high-definition portrait of a cat sitting inside a wok, or glaring into the camera with a leaf on his head like it owes them money.

So do your cat a favour.
Do yourself a favour.

Book the shoot. Get the photos. Share them with (the) pride.
Because let’s face it — your cat was always the main character anyway.
