As a cat owner myself, I love this picture. If you have a cat (or several) then you completely understand the desire to want to take awkward pictures with them. There's something indescribably fun about trying to take the most bizarre photo possible while holding your uncomfortable-looking cat. I have no doubt that me and these two would get along. I appreciate their choice of decor too. The hanging tiger rug is a nice touch. It really hammers home the cat theme.
If these two people are anything like me, they probably had to spend a half an hour lint rolling their outfits before they left. All I have to do is pet my cat and I'll suddenly be covered head to toe in hair. It's a small price to pay for the coolest picture ever.
