Guys and Dolls

IMG_3400For the first year that Cooper was shooting photos we didn’t see a single shot of another animal! We were so worried that he had no friends. Maybe we’d raised such a charming people-loving feline that all other cats wanted nothing to do with him. After his appearance on Animal Planet in December, word must have gotten ’round to the neighborhood cats, because now Cooper has loads of friends! Okay, he only has three that we know of, but they sure look nice.

Recently, Cooper came home with a series of photos of a new slinky black cat. The photo is so cool, that it went straight to Cooper’s Chicago Exhibit! For those of you in the Chicago area it’s a really compelling photo – quite incredible to see at 16″x20″, be sure to stop by and check it out.

"Rendezvous"  This is the first photo Cooper took of another cat.

“Rendezvous” This is the first photo Cooper took of another cat.  Gorgeous shot, Coop!

"Meow!" Cooper took this photo right after "Rendezvous." Looks like Cooper and this other cat were interested in a closer look!

"New Haircut"  This is one of our all time favorites.  The look on her face certainly says she'd rather Cooper not take her photo today!

"Back Alley Bandit"  This shady character didn't want to be identified in the newspapers.

"Fire Marshall"  We're not sure who this neighbor cat is, but he seems to guard the fire hydrant with authority!

Chicago Buzz Has Started

Cooper ships his exhibitLast week we shipped Cooper’s photo exhibit on to it’s next great location. This morning we flew to Chicago for the opening of his new six month exhibit! It takes place at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago, in conjunction with the National Geographic Crittercam exhibit.

Last night was a special cocktail reception at the Museum to unveil the new exhibits. It was so great to meet our friends from local no-kill shelters PAWS Chicago and Tree House Cat Shelter. If anyone in the Chicago area is thinking about adopting a cat, these are both wonderful organizations.  Cooper is donating a portion of all sales from now until the show closes in April to PAWS Chicago to help spay and neuter other stray cats and find them loving forever homes like his.

The exhibit officially opens this Saturday, September 26th. We are in town for the whole weekend and look forward to meeting Cooper’s fans!

Talk about town has already begun. The buzz about Cooper’s photography is hot! Chicago’s ABC News mentions Cooper in a story yesterday.

Come meet us this weekend at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago!

RSVP on Facebook (and also see updated news spots as we find out about them.)

Cooper in Stealth Mode

IMG_3514_2It’s been nearly two years now that Cooper has been shooting photographs on his trips around the neighborhood. A lot of people ask us about what we’ve seen that surprises us. The biggest surprise is that we haven’t seen any photos of birds or squirrels! We imagine that some day that Cooper may come home with evidence that helps the Seattle Police Department crack a big case they’re working on (maybe capturing a cat burglar)… but that hasn’t happened yet either. But we have seen some interesting peeks into the lives of our neighbors.

The Comings and Goings of Cooper


Cooper has been out and about with his collar camera several times over the last few weeks. When the weather is about to turn colder, we try to give him lots of outdoor time. Enjoy it while it lasts, Cooper!

The Many Qualities of Lights

Cooper could write a photography textbook with everything he has been learning on the job. For two years now, one day a week, this cat has taken photos in the sun, in the dark, in the rain and in the snow.

Feline Perspective

For nearly two years Cooper has given us an interesting look at the world from a cat’s point of view. Once a week he steps out the cat door wearing his collar camera, which snaps a new photo every two minutes. This rare glimpse into the feline perspective has allowed us to appreciate cats even more. After all, the neighborhood certainly looks quite different from six inches off the ground!

Cooper’s Expanding Subject Matter

Cooper has been a bit distracted lately – or more realistically we have been a bit distracted lately. Oh yes, Cooper’s still going out and shooting lots of pictures on sunny days. However, after he comes back with another set of 300 incredible shots we haven’t been doing much more than enjoying them ourselves. Internet, we’ve been so selfish.
