Tuxedo Cat Portraits Have Real Drama in Monochrome

This is an update on an earlier post which showcased Teddy’s portrait in black and white. I wanted to add a couple more dramatic selfies and update you on how he is settling in to family life.

Teddy is now allowed the freedom of the house which means I have more opportunity to take better photographs. I am not sure what you think but using monochrome for his photographs is really effective, whether I use my DSLR or smartphone camera.

I will add more photographs to this post and add it to the selfies from time to time so you can see his progress, as well as how I do with his portraits and, maybe in the future, action shots.

Tuxedo Cat Portrait

Teddy is the blockiest squarest cat we have ever had. One piece of surprising news is that he weighs the same as our leggy tabby Toulouse! They visited the vet on the same day for their checkups and are the same weight, which surprised the humans! I can still lift him up and can groom him so I am hoping he will calm down and establish a place in the cat heirarchy and match the dignity of his portraits.

Finally, our condolences to Ellen at 15Meowing on the loss of her beloved kitty Drake.

  2. Marjorie, your pictures in B&W are superb! What a nice guy he is too. Tuxedo’s are so naturally good for pictures but that doesnt mean people take good pictures of them. Yours are coffetable book perfect.
