You might have already heard of cat bearding, the fun new trend of taking photos with a cat held up to your face to appear as a beard. The trend started when a photo of a cat looking like a beard on someone’s face was posted online. Others started taking similar photos and the idea went viral. Collective Bias and Fresh Step want to see your best cat bearding photos. By sharing your most creative and original cat bearding photo, you could win a professional photo shoot for you and your cat and an entire year’s worth of kitty litter.
Having a happy cat just might be the key to taking a great cat bearding photo. Did you know Fresh Step’s new formula improves odor control by adding chlorophyll and essential oils to the formula? My family uses Fresh Step kitty litter and our family cat, Delilah, never complains.
Taking a photo of a cat being held to your face sounds easy but unless you’re a professional with a photogenic cat, it might not be as simple as you thought. After many failed attempts, I finally have a cat bearding photo to enter in the photo contest. Perhaps my cat bearding photo skills should be left off my resume.
