Woman Finally Manages To Get Her 17 Pets To Sit Still For A Photo

ADVERTISEMENT

As much as owners like taking pictures of their pets, it’s clear that animals don’t share the same enthusiasm. Getting one pet, whether it’s a cat or dog, to pose for a picture is sometimes close to impossible, and as a result, many of us have a ton of blurry photos. It’s hard to imagine what it’s like taking a perfect shot of all of your pets if you have like… 17 of them. However, a woman named Kathy Smith from Corwen, Wales did what seemed impossible: she got all her cats and dogs, a total of 17 pets, to sit for a lovely family picture.

It’s undeniable that 30-year-old Kathy absolutely loves animals. She is a proud owner of 8 dogs – Ruby, Ben, Max, Sheba, Teddy, Rio, Storm and Mishka – and 9 cats.

The woman also has 4 budgies, several fish and a baby hedgehog.

One day, Kathy put herself on a mission to capture all of her dogs and cats in one photo. While most of us wouldn’t even bother ourselves with such a hefty task, Kathy proved to be suitable for the job. However, it was not easy.

First of all, she started with the dogs, who seemed to be up for the challenge. Although, the cats had something else on their minds and had to be put back in place three times.

 Then for a split second, all of her 17 pets were in their place and looking right into the camera. “I was so thrilled when I realized I’d captured this shot – it’s like a little family photo,” the woman said.

Here’s how people reacted

I can't imagine the monthly cost to maintain a flock like this!

I once knew a woman that owned 6 dogs and 3 cats and the condition of her place was HORRIBLE. It's nice seeing a responsible pet owner with so many fur babies (and a furless one) keep a clean home. Not knocking anyone, but it CAN get very difficult to keep up cleanliness of a home with that many critters :)

The cats names are Dinky, Jakie, Opal, Paddy, Socks, Safi, Cinders, Dusty and Smokey, i have no idea which is which. The dogs are three German Shepherd (Mishka, Storm and Max), three border collies (Sheba, Ben and Rio), a mongrel called Ruby and Yorkshire Terrier Maltese cross Teddy.

This woman should be President. Maybe she could get the animals in D.C. to cooperate.

Many years ago I had 13 cats and 2 dogs. Managed to get all 13 cats in a pic together....once. How? Easy, I brought in a new chair. And within minutes, it was THEIR chair.

Hedgehog was found just before hibernation weight 165gr needs to be 600gr to survive winter hence we have him for now once spring arrives it will be released back into the wild

It's actually the cats' faults. In EVERY other photo, all 8 dogs are together. And, I just realized that it may be the cats do not care for the baby.
