Purina

Clee’s first job as a grown up! He’s not long turned a year old, I was a little bit concerned about how he would do as they change a lot – Rum was fine as a puppy but once he had ‘grown up’ he decided the flash was far too scary to put up with!


He was quite nervous to start with but it was a relaxed atmosphere so we had him out of his crate and sat on the settee with him (with his harness on just in case!) – he was a lot happier chilling with us and settled nicely. His first time on set we just sat with him and got him to do some sits and the photographer got some basic shots, he was good, a little bit aware of everything around him and a little unnerved but he got used to it a bit.


With cats they do get fed up easily so we do give them a break and the photographer will then work on another animal and swap and change frequently. The second time on set he was a lot more relaxed and we got him playing and jumping on and off a box, he was a lot more into his toys and squeezy cheese. SQUEEZY CHEESE – what a discovery! He loved his ham flavoured squeezy cheese, it’s so much easier than treats, can be smothered on a target stick, a lot easier just to give him a little bit and he loves it!


While another cat was being photographed they asked me to take clee on set to see if it would wake this other cat up, Clee was a bit shocked to see another cat and it did unnerve him as he is used to being spat at by mum’s cat (Dixie). It was a shame as it did effect his attitude and his last and 3rd time on set he was a little bit wary of this, but he was still good and we got some shots. It was only half a day so it was a nice short shoot to start him off properly.

Here are some pics from my phone of him chilling :)
