keep things like image quality, lighting and composition in mind.

He would demand to sit on my back even if I was vertical. He looked especially pleased with himself in this one.

A cat after Krista's heart. At home, I blocked all the uppers and unders so that I could reach Krista in an emergency. But the few times we traveled, the first thing she did in a hotel room was get herself to the highest point. Often the top of a fridge, but sometimes the cabinets had a space before the ceiling like this.

Make the space low enough and you get the cats to do the dusting.

Hmm...all my cats look smug. It would be more difficult to find a picture of someone not looking smug.
