Casey Leigh – Lingerie Tattoos Cats

Match Made in Heaven

You know that feeling where you pick up on someone’s energy, well cats are really really eerily good at that, and me and Casey discussed this super power as my kitties milled about waiting for this shoot. I think that magnetism came through in all the photos, like she couldn’t be happier to be in their company so they just couldn’t get enough of her. Sometimes its not even that cats sense that you’re a “cat person” or a “dog person” but more of an energy that you bring into the room. So as we chatted and got to know each other over hair and makeup I have a feeling the kitties were listening and became curious who this other furless person was getting to know their furless person (that’s how I think cat’s think about us, because to them furless is weird right?!)

After the shoot I fell in love all over again with how the black and white lingerie tattoos all blend together to let her smile and ink stand out. The addition of kitties is really just fuzzy icing on the cake. So without further ado I’m really excited to share these images of Casey:

have you always been a cat person? are you a cat & dog person?

I am definitely an ANIMAL person in general! I love cats and dogs. I plan on rescuing both cats & dogs in the near future and having a sweet fur-baby family!

favorite cat coloring?

My favorite cat coloring/patterns have always been calico & “tuxedo”. I love the diversity a calico cat portrays with combined coloring, and each calico cat’s pattern is unique. The classiness of a tuxedo colored cat with their white gloves is irresistible!

most cats live a pretty leisurely lifestyle you could say, what part of kitty living do you wish you could have as a human?

If I could have the lifestyle of a cat, I would definitely say I would wish to be able to bask in the warm sunlight in front of a window all day.

Lil Neko Cats x Lingerie

When a girl’s instagram handle is @Crazycatlady420 there is no doubt she is a cat lover, and all cat lovers have a good rescue story. You’ll have to read on for Neko’s story of what happened after she took in a malnourished little kitten she encountered on a walk home, and her thoughts on the best and worst parts of being a kitty, because you know we’ve all thought about what it would be like to not have thumbs amiright?!

favorite feline characteristic you would take on if you could?

Jumping and climbing things, reaching new horizons…knowing no boundaries! But equipped with the ability to get back down once I’ve had my share. Once I found my kitty Oreo standing on top of the damn door as if he were a panther, which he likes to prove alot apparently. His stance read “I came, I saw, I conquered” but his meow said “mom how the heck do I get down?”.

want to share a rescue, adopted, found kitty story?

I was in Spanish Harlem about two years ago when I heard a nearby meow, and of course I tried to follow after it. A few steps away, was a couple with a box that immediately recognized my curiosity and waved it in my face, asking if I wanted a cat their daughter could no longer care for. I politely turned it down since I already had one older cat, Sushi, and wasn’t sure how he would get along with another. Without hesitation, they told me they were going to specifically take her to a kill shelter and my heart dropped. How could someone do such a thing and on top of that, blatantly say it with no guilt? I know no cat should be in these peoples’ hands whether they meant it or not, I walked away with the cat.

Upon bringing her home, I realized how malnourished she was and could see her rib-cage. I spent the next month nursing her back to health with my mom and we named her Miso. After she gained reasonable weight, we saw her stomach was hanging unusually low and realized she was pregnant the whole time.

On my birthday, she gave birth to four healthy kittens all with different colors and markings. I didn’t expect to have six cats, but the best things in life are unexpected. It was fate that I rescued their mother that day and I’d hate to imagine if that never happened. Sushi took awhile to get used to the mother and even got a little weirded out by the babies but now they’re like a family. The kittens took quite a liking to him growing up, always licking him and rubbing against him! I personally think he likes being a father figure.

have you always been a cat person? are you a cat & dog person?

I always wanted to be a cat when I was a kid and then realistically shifted more into a cat lady in high-school. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t get along with, but I can’t say the same for dogs.

Erica x Cats Tarot

Erica x Cats Tarot & Lingerie

There is something about tarot cards, my cats cannot seem to leave me alone on the rare occasion that I pull out my deck they always make a bee-line for the spread! When Erica and I first discussed the shoot and she mentioned she’d like something that went with her personality I immediately thought of a moody theme with cats tarot, & cats as the “familiar”, like a totem in the background. I love how this shoot turned out and I am not surprised that our tuxedo cat Steven Mars showed up in more photos than our kitten because when he first came in the room she excitedly exclaimed that she always had a fondness for black and white cats, and like clockwork he jumped up onto the stool next to her and into 95% of the shots. Isn’t it funny how cats have a way of sensing your acceptance, they pick up on feelings without words.

most creative cat name:

My old college roommate gave her cats some really creative names. The best one was Ophelia Flower, who she also nicknamed Ophis McGrofis (creative, indeed)

greatest cat moment you’ve witnessed

The moment that my ex-boyfriend’s cats, who were always so scared of everyone, approached me and let me pet them. I still miss those babies so much.

fluffy or short hair or other?

All cats are adorable! Though short-haired ones are easier to brush.

If you were a cat, what would your catnip be?

Good horror movies… and heavy metal.

most cats live a pretty leisurely lifestyle you could say, what part of kitty living do you wish you could have as a human?

Sleeping whenever I want, wherever I want.
