Unflattering Cat Photo Challenge Is Gaining Hilarious Momentum

Cats can look majestic one minute and completely unhinged the next, and that contrast is exactly why the Unflattering Cat Photo Challenge took off so fast. People on Twitter started sharing their most awkward, weird, and downright ridiculous cat photos, and the results were as funny as you would expect.

The challenge turned into a parade of sleepy faces, strange angles, and cats caught in the middle of their least flattering moments. It is a reminder that even the most confident-looking pet can have a very unglamorous side, and that side is often the funniest one.

These photos only get better as they go, and a few of them look like cats actively refused to cooperate with the camera.

Karen Weiler, a pet photographer based in Toronto, Canada, says that lighting is "everything in photography."

“So, set yourself up for success by moving a favorite blanket, bed, or piece of furniture into a place that has great light. If they enjoy indulging in catnip, you can spread some there too. It is simple, really: if your kitty enjoys hanging out there, you'll have more opportunities to photograph them.

They will be relaxed and happy, and you will have great light, a winning combination!” Karen gave some good advice for all of us who want to take great photos of our cats.

She added that felines react to movement more than sound, so you can use certain toys and movement to get them interested.
