Many of us keep pets at home. It was noted by sociologists that the cat is the most common pet in the world for many years. The owners, wanting to capture their fluffy child, often take up a camera. However, the network is full of information about why you can not photograph cats. Let's look at the reasons and truthfulness of this judgment.
Signs and superstitions about cats
Let's start with what folk signs associated with cats in general exist.
In ancient times, it was noticed that cats are very sensitive to all sorts of changes, whether for better or for worse. They could predict the weather, impending bad weather or a happy event, as well as uninvited guests. In England, the cat was a regular for ships, because it was easy to recognize the weather change. If the cat mewed during the journey and did not find a place, the trip was most often postponed, as it was considered a bad sign. That is why the signs connected with cats were so thoroughly studied in the last century.
Can I photograph cats?
All statements on this subject have no scientific confirmation, however, there is some logic in the reasons why cats are photographed with caution.
- First, pets are, first of all, animals. They can not sit for long in one place or in one position. Trying to keep them for the sake of a beautiful frame is not entirely humane in relation to the cat.
- The second minus, which is so often spoken on the Internet, is the impact of the outbreak on the sight of the cat. It is worth noting that this fact is not scientifically grounded, however, all cat owners know that they do not like bright flashes and glare of light in the eyes. From this the animal begins to get irritated and nervous. That is why during the holding of all kinds of feline exhibitions, the organizers are asking to turn off the flashes on cameras.
- The third argument, which is often cited, is mystical. As you know, from the photo any magician or sorcerer can bring a curse or damage to both a person and an animal. And if people can fight this, then animals can not cope alone with the evil eye.
To photograph or not your pets - it's up to you. It is always worthwhile to focus on the personal qualities of your cat. If she happily goes to contact, likes to pose and tolerates bright light, then why not leave a couple of favorite moments related to the pet to memory.
