I chose this story because my cat is very important to me, since I have always wanted to and finally got the chance to adopt Loki last May. He generally does not show affection, and actually loves to scratch and run away from people, especially males that he is not familiar with. Despite this, he does show affections toward me, since he often purrs when I pet him while he rests, will sleep with me, and allows me to hold him for a while until he gets tired of me (all of which he does more with me, instead of my mom). These particular sets of photos are an example of when I move him to sleep with me and he generally will stay and rest instead of leaving like he tends to do with others.
I think I did well capturing how Loki will often sleep in strange positions, especially since my family and I often laugh about how weird and comfortable he looks. Overall, this is definitely one of those moments that I feel love for Loki, since he always somehow finds a way to make me laugh, despite the scratching and sometimes biting he puts me through because I bug him too much. I think the best image in this set would be the fifth one, since it is easily the funniest out of them all and accurately captures him goofy persona that he often takes on. The last image may not be ‘great’ by itself, however it helps to capture my story as it shows how although cats can grow tired of someone holding them (as he did in that image) sometimes it is because they just want to play around you and have fun. Next time, I might try to capture him while I play with him, since I will often attempt to rile him up so he will chase me around the house. Possible other photo stories that would be interesting to tell might be a concert experience, since I have always loved concerts and would love to experience one with a friend, instead of going with an adult family member as I usually do.
