This is why most of my photos of my cat are of her sleeping or waking up pissed off.

The Puurfect boyfriend Bad dumm tsss Thank you, thank you. Im here all week, dont forget to tip your fellow panda on your way out. Browse safe..

The guy, this has the “oh, I will take your place, wait and see. I was here before you, I will be here after I have disposed of you, I am eternal “ vibe to it. That is a feline with a dastardly plan in mind.
Load More Replies...While some pets enjoy the spotlight and even crash their owners’ photos just to get everyone’s attention, others don’t like their picture taken that much. Have you ever noticed that your dog or cat instinctively looks away the moment the camera comes out, despite you being incredibly stealthy about it?
It turns out that pets can be camera-shy and feel rather uncomfortable when it’s pointed at them. For example, dogs feel uneasy when someone is staring at them, so when they turn their head away, they’re signaling that they’re uncomfortable with what’s going on.

Stray Puppy "Sneaks" In Family Photo That Was Visiting In Guanajuato

Poor puppy. Where I live there's no such thing as "strays". When we see a dog looking like it's lost its person, we look for ways to help reunite them.

Bit too revealing for a wedding, buddy. But I'll let it slide bc ur a good boi 💜
Cameras themselves can be intimidating to pups, too, because they make noise when zooming or taking the shot. These sounds are usually too high for us to hear, but dogs can detect them. Such an unfamiliar noise can startle them, making them nervous about the experience. The camera might appear intrusive and unfamiliar to pets, with flashes and a camera lens that looks like eyes, causing them to be scared of it as well.

Public displays of proposals are more about ego than love. Makes a good story, but shows poor judgment. Although certainly some people like the idea of having an audience....

Over-Protective Kitty. He Looks Like A Super Villain

He does. He's plotting something, something evil, and it's intended for you.

Cat: "soon, very soon woman, you'll have breakfast with your ancestors...in the afterlife!"
Unfortunately, many pet owners don’t realize that an innocent photoshoot is causing pets stress, especially to more sensitive ones. So if they start to notice their furry friends acting nervously around a camera, it’s important not to pressure them into it, so as not to create a negative association with the camera.
What owners can do instead is let them investigate the camera and reward them for approaching it or checking it out. When a pet receives a reward for tolerating or holding still for the camera, they will associate the camera with a positive experience, which makes taking photos more pleasant for them.

Never Had I Been Able To Time A Photo Of My Dog This Perfectly Even If I Had The Best Camera In The World. Extremely Funny Extremely Timed Pictures Of Dogs
Pet care company Wag! also recommends being mindful of your own body language and tone of voice while trying to get your pet comfortable around a camera.
“Using a higher, calmer tone of voice shows your dog you’re not stressed and everything is okay. Dogs are extremely perceptive of different kinds of body language. If you’re uncomfortable, they will be too. If you project being calm and happy, they’re more likely to see the situation positively,” they write.

Something else that can make pets more comfortable around the camera is starting to introduce it to them early. “Taking pictures or video often throughout their youth is a great way to get them accustomed to it,” suggests Wag!
Overall, when taking a picture of your pet, be aware of their personal space and their body language. If they become nervous or uncomfortable, give them a break.

I know there's a bloke out there who does incredibly photoshop things, this picture doesn't need some pathetic woman in it, just leave the adorable doggie in it!
“Just like humans, taking a picture isn’t always a good choice. If your dog is already uncomfortable in a new environment or situation, adding more discomfort is exhausting and stressful for your dog, and they may react accordingly.
The next time you want to lean in and wrap your arms around your dog for a selfie, consider how they’re feeling first. If they can’t get past you using a traditional camera, try a cell phone instead, which is probably more familiar to them,” Wag! recommends.

My Cat Photobombed This Pic Of My Dog And Somehow She Doesn’t Even Look Real
marianne eliza 4 months ago
Looks like a person who just realized they were walking into a stranger's photo op.
Then she suggests focusing on the pets’ personalities. “The best images, in my opinion, are the ones that show personality, not the perfectly sat or standing ‘show’ style photos.”
She also reminds us not to forget to find good lighting for the photoshoot. “On the technical side of things, whether you’re using a phone or camera, you want good and clear light.” Lastly, she recommends getting on the same level as the animal. “You can use a squeaker to get their attention,” she adds.
