As much as owners like taking pictures of their pets, its clear that animals dont share the same enthusiasm. Getting one pet, whether its a cat or dog, to pose for a picture is sometimes close to impossible, and as a result, many of us have a ton of blurry photos. Its hard to imagine what its like taking a perfect shot of all of your pets if you have like 17 of them. However, a woman named Kathy Smith from Corwen, Wales did what seemed impossible: she got all her cats and dogs, a total of 17 pets, to sit for a lovely family picture.

(9,273 posts)My granddog (a lab) and one of the grandcats often curl up for a nap together. I even have photos. The other cat hates the dog and is rarely in the same room with her.

(811 posts)She lives in Wales with her young son. And get this: "The woman also has 4 budgies, several fish and a baby hedgehog." Pretty amazing to have that many pets getting along so well. And they all look really happy, especially in the other photos.

(14,586 posts)I have five cats, so I've got to say I don't envy her cleaning the litterboxes. With nine cats, that probably is four or five times a day.
In fact, with this many animals, you'd have to be scooping poop pretty much all day every day.

(2,150 posts)It's the 7 (mostly) black cats in the back that pulled it off. "you move and the black cat gang will slice you to pieces in your sleep. So if you know what's good for, stay still. We will be watching from behind you."
That poor shepherd at the lower right looks like he already crossed the black cat gang and paid for it.
