Stunning Pictures Of Cats Caught Doing Human Stuff Captured By Monika Malek
Monika Malek, a pet photographer, has mastered the art of capturing the purrfect cat pictures. She owns two beautiful cats who often pose for her photoshoots. They are Malek’s favorite models. “My cats are magical, they can cook, read, sew, foretell from a glass ball, and even take pictures!”, she says on Bored Panda.
Cats are mischievous, graceful, playful and they express themselves in various ways. Capturing a feline on camera is a difficult task but Monika knows how to interact with cats. She has managed to capture her cats in all their glory doing several human activities and every picture taken by her is adorable as well as artistic. Check out some of her pawsome photos below.

Photographing cats comes with its own challenges. As Monika describes on Bored Panda, “My work is constantly being on my knees and loooong minutes of waiting for the cat to show up or to do what I would like it to do. It’s not an easy job—it’s not only about petting the cat. Knowing the behavior of the cats plays a very important role. When I know more about the cats, I can prepare better for the photoshoot and avoid doing something that discourages my model to cooperate.”

While explaining about her two cats, Monika says, “Both Filemon and Blania are shelter cats. Filemon was adopted when he was 2 months old and Blania was adopted when she was six months old. My cats sometimes behave like they are fire and water, but they can quite often complement each other.”

On Bored Panda, Monika also mentioned how she conditioned her cats for photoshoots-“When they sat where I wanted, I was using verbal gratitude and giving them snacks. During the photoshoots I talk a lot to them—I send them a signal that everything’s all right, I’m proud of them and they are doing great. Cats read our emotions very well—when we’re frustrated, they don’t want to be next to us. Currently, my cats treat the photoshoots as an element of our routine. I see that they can get pretty frustrated when they don’t get their pictures in a week.”

Talking about her new project, she shared with Bored Panda, “I’m just finishing publication of my book on catography (unfortunately it’s going to be available only in Polish). I’ve spent the last few months focused on that project—writing, preparing photos, and so on—and people will be able to buy it on October 21st!”
