And Then There Were Two… : Toronto Pet Photography

Yes, we are now a two cat household as Zoe has moved on to a better place…and is a much happier cat because of it.

She was really stressed living with the two other cats, especially Alice who really seemed to despise her for some reason. So we found her a new home where she is a one and only, and she has settled in beautifully. We hope to be paying a visit to her soon, and I’ll definitely try and capture some photos of her in her new abode.

Here’s a last macro close-up I took of her, going to miss those green eyes of hers:

Close up of Zoe

Love this shot of Finnegan, he looks a little wind blown hanging out under the dining room table. He didn’t seem to miss Zoe at all, but he’s a laid back kinda guy:

Alice, on the other hand, was looking around for Zoe at the first meal time after she was gone. She would also come out into the main part of the apartment in the morning looking around for her.

I actually got Zoe to look at me for a nice shot of her, yea! 🙂

We REALLY spoiled her in her last few days with us, letting her lick out food bowls. She was in heaven! She loves her snacks/treats/meal time:

Alice loves looking out the windows. She seems much more relaxed now that Zoe is gone. I guess it was stressful for her as well:

We could never leave toys out for the cats to play with when Zoe was here, because otherwise we’d be awoken in the middle of the night with Zoe’s insane meowing. She liked to walk around with the toy in her mouth meowing/howling to the world. You can see Alice watching below for me to throw one of her fave toys, which is a white furry ball that makes noise when it moves. Last photo is her curled up underneath a chair ottoman:

The Cats: Toronto Pet Photography

A few captures of the household cats over the last few days.

Alice was at the kitchen window, with Finnegan in the background:

Then I brought her outside:

Finnegan jumped up to keep watch:

Wondering what’s up with all the photos:

He knows he’s a good-looking guy:

Cat Update: Toronto Pet Photography

I haven’t posted an update of all the household cats for a few months, so this is long over due! I was having fun shooting with my two brightest lenses, the Canon 50 f1.4 lens & Canon 85 f1.2L lens. I love the shallow depth of field from these two lenses, and the beautiful bokeh.

Zoe, enjoying the deck:

Alice, being silly on the arm of the sofa:

Finnegan also loves the deck, but he must be tethered, as he’s a bit too adventurous:

Rainy Days…: Toronto Photography

I love rainy days in Toronto, perfect excuse for more macro shots of rain drops (see previous rainy day photography hereherehere and here):

As I was getting ready to transfer the photos to my computer, I captured this shot of Finnegan:

The Cats Yesterday: Toronto Pet Photography

Yesterday, along with all the snowy images I captured, I also captured a few of the cats (though mostly Finnegan!), so here’s a separate blog posting full of the household cats.

I was mostly stalking Finnegan with my camera, because he was the one moving about the condo:

He’s wondering what the heck I’m doing, following him around. Thought he looked very comical, crammed into the tight spacing on the shelf:

Zoe and Alice were just hanging out in their spots. Finnegan, exhausted from me stalking him, finally crashed on the sofa, and I went out into the snowy weather to capture wintery shots.
