My Cousins
I went to visit some of my cousins over the bank holiday weekend. Like me, they are strong and independent with proud whiskers and shiny coats; but unlike me, they don’t have good homes or families to support them. They are currently in a holding-pen being fostered by a friend of John’s whilst they wait to find new homes. It’s all part of the brilliant work being done by Cats Protection and other local animal welfare charities including Worthing and District Animal Rescue and also Worthing Cat Welfare Trust. These charities take in waifs and strays, the unwanted and the unwashed, the poorly and the needy, and take care of them in the hope of giving them a better life.

Proud Fellow @marwellwildlife
Up early and a quick stroll around Marwell before the Bank holiday traffic!
My boy John shot this proud fellow after he’d had a good play in the mud… More to follow soon
Shad does the O2
Great night last night rocking to RUSH at the O2 in their Clockwork Angels Tour unfortunately the boy John only had his phone with him – you really can’t get the staff.
Fantastic night had by all, some classic RUSH and new tunes to rock too ……. my poor furry ears still ringing this morning!!
Day out at the Aquarium
I just love photography and anything to do with taking photos and I usually can’t resist the opportunity to go out at the weekend and practice. So a couple of weeks ago John took me to the aquarium so I could have a sniff round and take some pictures of the fish. I love the aquarium, what cat wouldn’t! I was mesmerised by the angel fish and clown fish, such pretty colours, all swimming around, wriggly and jolly, teasing me something rotten they were! John had to drag me away when my pussy-cat instincts started kicking in and I dribbled! Most undignified!
There were some cheeky brown otters there too. They were young and feisty and one of them kept showing off because his whiskers were bigger than mine. But I was secretly impressed. Never thought I’d get whisker-envy! I told him that I take pictures for a living and he asked me if I could take a few of him in natural poses with his friends. We had a good time watching them frolicking in their pond. Happy days!!
Who is Shad the Cat
My name is Shadow and I run my own friendly and professional business as a photographer. As you can imagine, I have a unique perspective on my work due to the fact that I’m a cat so I am able to offer a service that is individually-tailored to my clients’ needs and comes with a personal furry touch. My very experienced assistant John is always available to help and he has a passion for producing vibrant and stylish images that reflect my high standards. If you want to see some of my work, please go to
As you can appreciate, I have a special connection with animals so I tend to specialise in pet portraits and understand how to capture the individuality of your pet in an artistic and creative way. I can also produce excellent photographs of items such as food and products for any personal or commercial events that demonstrate lifestyle. I know how important your family is to you, which is why my family portrait sessions are relaxed and fun and capture moments you can treasure. I also offer glamorous boudoir shots which flatter and inspire confidence, no matter what your shape and size. In fact, I’m a little shapely myself but I like my treats and I’m a bit of gourmet! I have a lot of patience and a good sense of timing (due to my instinctive though latent hunting skills) which are essential when taking the best photos at parties and weddings. In fact, I have been known to produce outstanding wedding photos, providing I am given the right motivation – usually a few vol-au-vents and a couple of scotch-eggs from the buffet table does the trick!
Thanks for reading about me. I’ve got to go now because John is busy editing and printing the shots he took for our last client and he’ll need some advice from me about the colour balance and composition. Plus I’m hoping to give him the ‘big eye’ treatment and persuade him to make a tuna sandwich for us to share. Next time, I’ll tell you about when I went to the aquarium and saw these huge catfish that were almost as big as me and got into an argument with an otter over who had the biggest whiskers!
