Teagan Ignoring Me
Posted by terrepruitt on January 26, 2018
Here is our cat before she got annoyed with me trying to take her picture. There are two main reasons I have a lot more pictures of Nessa than I do of Teagan. One, Teagan is black and very difficult to photograph. The lighting has to be right in order for her features to show. And two, she hates it. It used to be that I could NEVER get a shot of her. She just didn’t like it. Nessa doesn’t care. You can be in her face or across the room and she is like, “Whatever.” Or she may not even notice. But Teagan used to have a NO-radar. She could be dead asleep and her NO-radar would wake her up and she would leave. “NO! You are not taking my picture!” She is better now, but she is still difficult to photograph. You might imagine how many far away (so she hopefully wouldn’t notice I was taking a picture) or blurry (because she noticed and is leaving) pictures I have of her. She is beautiful so I would try!
Teagan is my Friday Photo today!

She allowed me to take a few shots, then got annoyed and started to get up. But I left instead so she could continue to enjoy the window seat!

It is interesting that Teagan doesn’t want to be photographed. I am surprised she cares.

She does. It is odd. I am surprised to, but she does. She can tell when you have the camera on her and she doesn’t (seem) to like it.

Probably thinks you are paparazzi. Hee hee. Too funny.

Well, in a way I am! I get in their face or interrupt their play. I am ALWAYS taking pictures of them. So, yeah, sounds pretty paparazzi-like, right? 🙂

Thanks. We think she is beautiful, too. In fact, supposedly, that is what Teagan means: beautiful. She is also VERY sweet. Thanks, again, Crystal.

She was Smokey. Took a year to find the right name. https://terrepruitt.com/2016/08/10/mews-of-change/

I think so, too. Even though it took me a year. Smokey and Esmeralda never felt right.
Thank you.

I like it, too. I think I first heard of it when I heard of Tegan and Sara on a TV Show. But I didn’t think about Tegan as a name for our cat until I saw the post on FB feed that shared the meaning of Teagan. Have you heard of Tegan and Sara (Canadian indie pop band formed in 1998)?

Teagan and Sara? They were on a TV show we used to watch. Their music was. I looked it up because I liked it. I bought an album (CD) or two. 🙂 They have a unique sound . . . .well, at least they did back then.
