THE FIRST ONE

Chester

On that day, I set out to take my first picture of a cat for this mission. I was nervous
about how to start and what kind of pictures I would get. I was walking and thinking
about these things when I saw him. He was sleeping, so I thought I would leave him
alone and take a picture of another cat. But then he looked up at me, looked at me for a
moment, and then closed his eyes and went back to sleep. I was amazed. I didn't think it
would be that easy to get a cat to let me take its picture. But I knew he had given me
permission to start. I got very close to him and took the picture. And that's how my
Mission 1001 Cats began, with the permission of a sleeping cat named Chester.

THE CAT WHO DIDN'T WANT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED

Timu

I was out taking pictures. When I saw him. I didn't even get a good look at his face
before he started running away. I thought,
"Oh well, I'll just take a picture of him from
behind." So I started chasing him. I chased him through the streets, through alleyways.
He was always one step ahead of me. I'm not usually the type to chase cats, but I was
determined to get a good picture of this one. He ran into a construction site, and I
followed him inside. He was trying to hide from me. I kept trying to get a picture of
him, but he was always just out of reach. Finally, when I was about to give up, he
popped his head out of nowhere. I was stunned. he was so beautiful, and he had such a
confident look in his eyes. right then at that moment I took a picture of him, and then I
walked away. I named him "Timu". He was a determined cat but at the end he couldn't
escape my camera!

THE TWO OF VERY FEW

Tai, Tatai

In my collection of photographs, kitten pictures are few and far between. A cat's mother
is fiercely protective of her offspring, and I respect that. I don't want to do anything to
make her feel threatened. As much as I admire the beauty of kitten photos, I'm willing
to make this sacrifice. That day, I spotted a cat and her kittens playing near a wall. The
mother sat calmly in front of her kittens, keeping a watchful eye on them. Sensing that
the mom was comfortable with my presence, I quietly captured a photo of the adorable
scene. I named the kittens Tai and Tatai, inspired by their playful antics.
