There were a lot of people on the street, as my neighborhood is usually busy at all hours of the night and day, and cars were going down the street in droves. Adam stops me and says “Look!” as a tiny black and white kitten emerges from underneath a van mewing at us. Kitten was around 2-4 months old and scared out of her little mind. I picked her up and she trembled in my arms, terrified. She had a flee collar, but no tags. I couldn’t imagine anyone leaving such a small kitten outside to fin for herself. I tried to put her down and she clung to me tightly. Adam had to pry her off of me. Heartbroken, we left her behind to go to the store. On the way back, she came out of hiding again as we passed mewing at us again. I couldn’t help it, she was so adorable. We decided to take her in to feed her and give her some water in until the traffic died down so she wouldn’t be as scared.

So we smuggled her to my basement so no one in the building would see her and naturally I got out my camera. After about an hour of entertaining and giving her massive amounts of love, we left her back where we found her. I’m still heartbroken and miss her. I wish I could have cats in my apartment.

Meet Midna! She belongs to my friend Erica. When I first met her, she was incredibly shy and scaredy, it was impossible to take her photo. As time grew on, she grew more comfortable around people and would come out and let people pet her. Black cats in general are incredibly hard to photograph. In fact, I owned a black kitty once and said never again. If I’m going to own a kitty, she better be photogenic. Now that I have better equipment and a pretty amazing speedflash, I can get really nice photos of Midna for everyone to enjoy.
