Digital photography is an art I have yet to master. Push button, wait for it, wait for it, miss pic. I have many shots of the backs of heads, butts, blank areas of carpet or lawn, you get the idea. Still using an Olympus C 3030 that we got 3rd hand. Some day we will step up to something from the 21st Century.
Do they normally form up with the same cat in the lead?
I was curious about the tail entwining behavior you noted, so looked it up on the web, and found this page about cat body language that that includes it: http://www.messybeast.com/cat_talk2.htm
It’s a friendly gesture that mixes the scent of the two cats to reinforce their group bonding, and a adult variation of the behavior of kittens who rub their tails against their mother’s tail or rump to get her to give them food.

Your camera must be pretty old (NOTE: just looked it up. Yup… it’s pretty old. Time to upgrade!). Even cheapo new point-n-clicks take their shots within milliseconds, unless there’s some difficulty with autofocus (rare with a P-n-C)

Wish I could get some decent pics of QT and Inkie doing their tagteam hunting.
And Fingers is looking good, glad to see she mended well. Hope Koshka gets better, she is a beauty.

Here’s the secret: have a camera with you at all times. Take a bagrillion photos.
Interesting that they’re in step. Coincidence or deliberate?

Merry Christmas Scott.

Purest co-incidence, not noticed until I downloaded the photos from camera to computer.

They normally don’t form up at all. Chaos.
Yea, my Boy has a cheapy mp3 that takes pics. Instant shoot, unlike either of our cameras. Going to look at cameras this week, sales are ON, babe.
