Fiona Friday - Princess Izzy

No human fingers were damaged in the making of this image (thank goodness). You can tell she was thinking about getting back at me, though.

  1. Wow! Impressive. I can’t get my kitties to sit still when I put something on their heads. I’ve made it my mission to place a water bottle on Belly’s head with out her instantly knocking it off. One day it will happen and I’ll capture it.

    1. It was an interesting process. She was asleep and I thought I'd just be able to do a "Stuff on my cat" type of photo but then she woke up when I rustled around, so I let her sniff the crown (which is on a comb - I actually set it down beside her for a bit) and held it over her head, lowered it partway, held it back up, lowered it slowly - I did that until she stopped fearing it and then very, very slowly put it on her head. Ta-da! It worked! She was not particularly pleased, though, and once I had my picture, I put it away and told her thank you. Good luck with that water bottle!

  2. My cats and hats never work out. I really need someone to put the hat on, while I take the picture because by the time I have it lined up, they have moved. lol

    1. See my reply to Jenny, above, if you want to know how I managed to get that little crown on her head. Isabel has so many fears that I always take my time with her. I don't want to make her afraid of the one person she trusts (moi) and I would have given up rather than force it on her, if going slowly hadn't worked. It's funny, though, that she was the one who was nice and calm while I put a bow on her head for Christmas and Fiona tried to eat the bow. LOL Cats are funny.

  3. When I had my cat, if I put anything on his head he would just collapse.

    1. There's a video of a cat doing that when someone put a flower on his head. Have you seen it? It's hilarious. Mine are fairly tolerant of me, for the most part, but when I tried to put a bow on Fiona's head for a Christmas photo, she snapped at it with her teeth (she doesn't bite me, no worries - just objects) and it was a slow process putting the little tiara on Isabel's head. I had to get her accustomed to it, first.
