Caught in the gaze of a sweet kitty cat

It took me a while to decide on a single picture but I settled on this one of my sister’s kitten for a few reasons:

“OG Pusheen” by Cynthia Moving, Copyright 2022
  1. Pusheen is very photogenic
  2. Pusheen is one of the few cats I know that will actually pose for a picture
  3. This is the picture of Pusheen I usually show people and, while it is very cute, it doesn’t quite capture that wide-eyed innocent look she has perfected. Pusheen does not seem to have a lot of thoughts in her cute little head, which is a breath of fresh air compared to my oldest cat who has eyes that have seen far too much.

Although the original image captures how small Pusheen once was, and instantly elevates the cute factor, it does not bring focus to those big eyes. I tried to follow the rule of three discussed in class by avoiding placing Pusheen in the absolute center. The effect changes Pusheen’s gaze. In the original image, it seems as though Pusheen may be staring off into space. The second image tightens up the focus and gives the impression that Pusheen is looking at the viewer instead and gives her an almost thoughtful gaze.

Don’t let her gaze decieve you. She is a criminal and she knows it.
