SO You Want to Be in Pictures?
Cat Talk|June 2021
Have you ever caught yourself wandering through a pet store and noticing all the pictures of the cats, dogs, and other assorted furry and feathered critters, and wonder, “How did they get there? My Fluffy is cuter than that. How can I get a piece of that action?”

SO You Want to Be in Pictures?

Or, just imagine—you are sitting on your couch watching the Super Bowl or your favorite television show and a commercial comes on. You see your cat on the big screen—pretty cool, right? Suddenly, your cat becomes super famous just by saying yes to that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Guess what? It’s possible and your opportunity might be coming up sooner than you think! Hopefully, you will find the tips and tricks in this article a useful guide to help get you started. In the age of social media, it’s become a little easier for pet product brands to connect with the “influencer” cats that they fall in love with on Instagram. However, there’s a little more to getting modeling or acting jobs for your cat than just posting a snapshot on Instagram and hoping for the best. Just like in the human acting world, there are a lot more available actors than available parts, but there are a few things you can do to greatly enhance your cat’s chances of getting selected to be that next iconic cat featured on food packages or in commercials.

Get the Right Pictures

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you’re trying to get your cat a modeling job, it’s worth everything. Good pictures are simply a must, both professional and candid. Videos are helpful, too. You want to present your cat in the best light possible. Your cat’s pictures are being viewed by producers and brand managers along with those of dozens of other cats. If your pictures are fuzzy or have poor composition, they won’t get a second look.

UP CLOSE AND Purr-sonal

If there is one person, or even just a name, that anyone in CFA (Cat Fancier Association) knows, it would have to be Allene Tartaglia. It might be from her involvement with most aspects of the operations of CFA in her position of executive director. Or perhaps from her deep involvement with both the CFA Annual meeting and/or the International Show. Cat Talk thought it was time to learn more about one of the most key people in CFA.
