BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT.
Slightly overexposed but I just loooove this photo like that and in no other way. <3

. . FAQ:
Are his eyes photoshopped?
No, his eyes are not photoshopped. Zephyr has a condition called heterochromia, also known as odd-eyes. This causes him to have two different eyecolours.

Is his eye naturally this blue?
Yes, I don't edit his eyes apart from the general editing of the whole picture. I don't make them more vibrant or anything. The exact shade of blue kinda depends on the lighting, but his eye is extremely blue for Turkish Angora's and other white cats anyway. Normally they're very light and you only see this kind of blue on pointed cats like Siamese.

Is he blind in his blue eye?
No, he isn't.

I heard that dominant white cats with blue eyes are deaf. Is Zephyr deaf on the side of his blue eye?
Again no. Zephyr has perfect hearing. It's a common misconception that white cats with one or two blue eyes are always deaf. However, this is not true. About 70% of the white odd-eyed cats can hear. The chances of hearing are even bigger if the cat was born with has any speck of colour in his coat even if this fades with age. Zephyr was born with a few dark spots on his head [picture] . He has perfect hearing.

He's real... right?
Most definitely, and I love him and his half sister Aella to bits! ♥

Very crisp and clear photo, I really love how the hair at the side of her face came off looking so wispy; her eyes stand out brilliantly against that white fur as well. Quite a stunning photo subject!

Thank you! ♥ Because it IS real, hehe. It's a photograph, the blue background comes from the sky reflection in my window.

How do you make your cat photos look so... magical? O_o
Like seriously, whenever I try to get some cool shots of my "men in black" it's a pain in the butt (not enough light for fast moving 5-month-old tigers).
Okay let me guess - professional and if not professional at least half-professional photography gear? Lots of lights and a studio? If not, I don't know. In that case you must have been to Hogwards. O_O

I use my trusty old semi-professional DSLR Canon EOS 450D and a kitlens and natural lighting. I don't have a studio (god I wish!) or nice external flashers that make your photos better instead of worse (like the standard build-in flash does). So for the best photos try taking pictures on bright days. For backgrounds you can use a plain wall or stuff like towels, blankets and huge sheets of paper to make it look more professional, and try getting the attention of your cats with a toy. Hope that helped. C:

I have a Nikon Coolpix P7100 which is kinda good I guess in bright sunlight... however when it's a little dark the photos have more and more noise in them. Problem is that I live in an appartement in the basement meaning we have like 30min of real sunlight coming in per day. :-/ I HATE using that build-in flash, since it makes the lighting just as awful as the facial expression of the cats.^^ I'll totally keep your advice in mind though, it does help a lot!
Lol, we tried to get their attention with a laser pointer but either they moved too fast while hunting it or they were uninterested in it ;D I'll try some "cat-candy" next time (they LOVE potatoes for some reason O_O and all the stuff that normal cats like of course...^^)
