- Why?

1. Who Needs These?

   Pictures of cat paw tracks are collectible items for cat lovers. Depending on the kind of cat, there are different paw prints. Some people like to collect paw prints of all different breeds of cats. Paw print pictures are also needed by people who study cats, as they can reveal much information.

2. Types:

   Pictures of cat paw tracks can be either real photos or they may be artistic impressions. The real photos will be taken by professional photographers with high resolution digital cameras. But there are several artist impressions, which are available in the form of stickers, posters and labels.

3. Uses:

   Some animal experts can learn the kind of cat breed and some more of its features by investigating pictures of their paw tracks. Pictures of cat paw tracks can tell the gait of the cat, and this can give clues about the weight and height of the cat.

 - How to Choose

1. Online:

   There are not many pictures of cat paw tracks available online. Most of them that are available are cartoons or artist impressions. If you have to select from among them, then choose one that has a good deal of clarity. The weight of the paw must be evident; and for that the picture must be of a high quality. You may also decide according to a specific cat breed. Do not download any pictures that are copyrighted, as this is against the law.

2. Professional Shots:

   There will be very few professional cat paw pictures available. Professional photographers are hired generally in cases of investigations. At such times, the picture has to be absolutely clear. See that the person selected uses very high quality equipment. He or she should be adept in nature and wild life photography.

3. Candid Shots:

   Since these pictures are of the cat paw tracks and not the cat itself, there is no question of candid shots.

4. Expense:

   You can take some cat paw track pictures on your own using your simple digital cameras. This would be inexpensive. But if you are planning to hire a professional photographer, then the prices will be too expensive.

5. Other items you might need:

   You will not need anything special to take these pictures, except maybe an album to store the pictures.
