Wide Eyed Cat

We can see it now: a mom wants her daughter to take a photo, but she refuses to do so unless she’s allowed to include her cat in the picture. The girl has a smug look on her face as though she got what she wanted. The cat, meanwhile, looks like a deer in headlights. There’s something unnatural about this photo, but it’s obvious that the girl loves her cat and wanted him to be a part of the image. The question is: how did the photographer manage to keep the cat still while he was taking the photograph?
