Woman Sets Up A Photo Shoot For Her 17 Pets And She Pulls It Off Against All Odds.

One woman managed to pull off a pet photo shoot that sounds almost impossible at first glance. Kathy Smith, 30, lives with 17 pets, eight dogs and nine cats, and somehow got all of them to sit still long enough for one group paw-trait.

The setup was no small feat, either. Kathy spent two weeks trying to get the shot, with the dogs cooperating far more easily than the cats, who were a lot less interested in posing on command.

By the time the camera finally clicked, the result was worth the effort, and the behind-the-scenes struggle made it even better.

And if you thought Kathy’s 17 pets were coordinated, check out animals that seem to have mastered the art of the selfie.

There are many warm-up photos that show the eight calm pooches in place, with Kathy persuading Ruby, Ben, Max, Sheba, Teddy, Rio, Storm, and Misha to sit still with some snacks.

The cats proved to be less willing to cooperate, and that was a process where shop assistant Kathy went back and forth while keeping the camera on standby, dragging the cats back into place over and over again.

Eventually, she was able to capture that exact moment when all 17 pets sat still. She was lucky because it lasted for just a second.

Kathy, who lives in Corwen, Wales, said: "I was so thrilled when I realized I'd captured this shot—it's like a little family photo. I love all of my pets so much, so I was really happy when I managed to get them all posing together—despite it not being easy to do. I kept trying to get photos of the cats and dogs all together, but some of them were always out of frame. The dogs will all sit for treats, so that was easy enough, but the cats were another matter."
