- Why?
1. Who Needs These?
People who own cats, or are just
fond of cats, will like to have cat pictures with them. 
Cat pictures
are much in demand among the children, who like to maintain collections
sometimes. This behavior is more usual when there is a pet cat at home.
2. Types:
There are many kinds of cat pictures. Some cat pictures are taken with home cameras. Professional pet photographers take cat pictures using high precision cameras, and even give special effects to the photographs.
3. Uses:
Cat pictures tell about the many breeds of cats available. They are useful when a family is deciding which cat to adopt. Cat pictures are also needed by breeders and animal rescue shelters when they are putting up their cats for adoption.
- How to Choose
1. Online:
You will find many cat pictures online, and they will be in a wide array of settings and breeds. Before downloading any image, check if it is copyrighted.
2. Professional Shots:
You can use professional services
to take pictures of your cats, especially if you have to submit them for a show
competition. 
The professional you finally choose must be very
compatible with your cat, and must make the cat feel at ease. He or she should
know about the importance of photographic elements like proper lighting, props
and backdrops.
3. Candid Shots:
It is difficult to take a good candid picture of a cat, because they are so moody. You might have to wait with your camera for a long time before the cat gives an agreeable pose. The secret to the success of a candid shot is that the cat must not have the slightest inkling that it is being photographed.
4. Expense:
It will be cheap if the picture is clicked with a home camera. A professional will charge money according to the length and nature of the photo session.
5. Other items you might need:
Most cats need to be kept occupied when they are being shot. Some good toys will do the trick. Keep an album handy to put the pictures in.
