Jus lettin everyone know that YES i did throw this cat in the air for this picture but that NO the kitten was not hurt nor did it ever hit the ground. I love animals :) Photography is about doing something different.

Such a clever image! I love the cat's whole expression. The sky is such a great setting for this. Now I just want to catch the kitty and snuggle it for the rest of the afternoon.

scared kitten
On 29 April 2008 eugenia vanni gave props:
wonderful! :D
On 29 April 2008 Caitlin Stewart said:
does anyone else think that this photo is a little ridiculous? i mean, the kitten is terrified and it didn't naturally fall from the sky. it was tossed into the air just for the picture. ehhhh... not feelin' it.
On 29 April 2008 Travis Middleton said:
Dear Caitlin,
Your oppionion is just another point of view. We caught the cats and they never hit the ground...therefore they lived and were not hurt...made for a great picture if u ask me...Photography is about doing something different...now they are grown and doing fine...consider it skydivin for cats....humans dont naturally fall out of the sky but they pay to do it...4 kittens One throw each...4 shots. this was the best...not really a crime if u ask me...You are entitled to ur oppionion though :)
On 29 April 2008 Caitlin Stewart said:
skydiving for cats?... well, if you put it that way! i never want to go skydiving in my life --- but if someone strapped a parachute on me and forced me out of a plane, i'd cry the whole way down. even if i landed safely, that would stick in my head for a very long time. the kitten wasn't physically injured. ok, great. you've made that quite apparent. but how scared was the cat? i bet extremely. i don't consider this a photograph. i consider it a point-and-shoot catch after someone had the bright idea to throw a kitten high enough into the air for it to be scared out of its mind. that's all.
On 29 April 2008 Travis Middleton said:
idk maybe the cat liked it? Thats also somethin we will never know. If you consider that a point and shoot then every photograh is a point and shoot. Scared out of his mind??? hmmm....were u there....no....WE CAUGHT him and PUT him back on the GROUND where he CONTINUED to PLAY with the rest of the kittens. Cats always land on their feet and we still caught him....idk maybe everybody hates this picture and thats y its been favorited 119 times...but idk im not a scientist....I think its GREAt that u think this cat is scarred for life from throwin him in the air. Jokes....That's all.
On 29 April 2008 Caitlin Stewart said:
this photo can have 350 favorites or 1,500 favorites and it will not change the fact that this cat never asked to be tossed straight up into the air like that. if this cat jumped down from a tree on its own or jumped off of steps or whatever... then that was the cat's choice!
happy shooting! xo

On 29 April 2008 Jason Quigley said:
I gotta side with Caitlin here. In my opinion, this isn't anything more than a snapshot of some poor scared cat getting tossed in the air. Congrats on all the faves anyway.

Great capture!
On 9 May 2008 Matt Knoth said:
this shot is grainy.
images of cats in terror do not inspire me to do anything except hope that you Travis gets a taste of his own medicine.
there are better ways to get attention, Travis.
On 10 May 2008 Travis Middleton said:
Thanks Matt.
I jumped on a trampoline once Matt, does that count, Matt.

You caught "them"?! Was it cat tossing day? It's good that you caught it, but not god that you probably scared the hell out of the little thing just to make a photo. Not cool.

Ok- Caitlin-jump off a bridge....don't worry, the water will be there to catch you. Serge- I agree with you.. occasionally the comments get quite entertaining. Thank you all for that. Matt- you are lame and grainy. Travis- you, your cat, the photo and idea all rock. I hate cats and they hate me...but I'll be sure to go home and snap a few while tossing my puppy around. I know for a fact HE likes it!

Relax gang. Sorry to name call but seriously Linda, you're crazy. Caitlin, watch out or you'll wind up just like her, freaking everyone out by threatening to throw people off buildings. You think THIS is in poor taste Linda? Really.
