Cats can do it too!

We have a joke around the office that monkeys could take over the jobs of photographers. Or maybe it's not much of a joke. All it takes is pushing a button. How hard can that be?

It's not like writing, which involves more than 26 buttons.

Well, it turns out that monkeys aren't the only animals that could come work in our newsroom. There's a cat in Seattle that takes pictures too. In fact, he's having his work displayed at a gallery.

For this Seattle cat, photography is his medium, a gift from his "parents" -- filmmakers Michael and Deirdre Cross, who gave him a very small and light digital camera that hung from his collar one day a week for a year.

It was programmed to take a picture every two minutes.They wanted the answer to a question many pet lovers have asked themselves: What does he do all day?

He came back with thousands of answers -- 16 of which are framed and on display at the Urban Light Studios in the Greenwood Collective.

If you're a photographer and happen to read this, i kid. You know i love you guys. Now go eat a banana.

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
