Taxidermy not a factor, apparently.

As much as owners like taking pictures of their pets, it’s clear that animals don’t share the same enthusiasm. Getting one pet, whether it’s 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. It’s hard to imagine what it’s 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.

1. Could there be a more heart-warming photo? Amazing!

[gademocrat7]

2. Wow!

That is an accomplishment.

[dewsgirl]

3. All I saw was the word taxidermy at first..lol. Wow I wonder

how long this took?

[Johnny2X2X]

4. Cool picture

I can’t imagine how wealthy she must be to be able to properly care for 17 animals.

5. Five minutes later, it looked like a war zone... :)

21. LOL! I was thinking the same.

[Sloumeau]

24. LOL, those of us who have had a lot of pets..we know..we know. :)

[Scarsdale]

6. Add some Christmas decorations

and it makes a perfect Christmas card. All the pets look loveable, and seem to all get along, too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. I like how the cat is chilling with BFF white dog. . . . nt

[Freddie]

17. The whole thing is adorable

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.

8. Those dogs in the front row look scared senseless.....

Look at the ears. That isn't alert, it's the look they get when scolded. I'd love to see a video of how she did it. Not saying it in a negative way, it's just the ear expressions that caught me.

"If you kids DZONT SIT STILL, I'M TAKING AWAY YOUR SQUEEKY TOYS!".

9. How many of you counted the pets in the pic?

I did!
Beautiful picture, by the way.

[SilasSouleII]

19. My count was 18

n/t

[Ohiogal]

10. And she has white carpeting!

[fleur-de-lisa]

22. How is that possible? At least one of my cats barf on a daily basis.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

26. First thing I noticed

[wnylib]

31. Is it carpet? I thought it was tile.

[polmaven]

11. Looooovvvveeee it!

those kids obviously love one another as well as their Mama!!

[karin_sj]

12. There are more really cute pictures at the link

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.

[Fla Dem]

13. There's got to be some type of prize in the pet world for best picture. If so, she's won!

[bucolic_frolic]

14. and she managed to separate cats from dogs pretty well

they must like her

[PatrickforO]

15. Eight head of dog and nine head of cat. Geez.

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.

[bonniebgood]

16. I would say they love her and will do anything for her. Just Wow!

[smirkymonkey]

18. Amazing feat!

Lovely photo!

[Bayard]

20. Impressive!

I'd love to get our 4 dogs in a decent group shot.

[marble falls]

23. A couple of the dogs in the front don't seem really happy about this. I do love she loves "mutts".

[ChazInAz]

25. Good taste in cats.

She seems to prefer black cats.
My favorite type.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. Neat!! Such a well mannered family too!! Trying to get all of them to sit still for a moment's ...

snapshot is an Olympic task by itself!! Neat, neat, neat!!!

[Skittles]

28. VERY impressive

yes INDEED

[FakeNoose]

29. It's the dragonfly and butterfly that amaze me

How did she do that?

[Nitram]

30. Now that's what I call an excellent job herding cats!

and dogs...

[azureblue]

32. naw, she didn't make them sit still

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.

[Ztolkins]

33. This is incorrect...

They're all stuffed - taxidermy style.

[Doreen]

35. My first thought was "they gotta be stuffed."

[gopiscrap]

34. wow I can't even get my one cat to cooperate on ANYTHING

[czarjak]

36. The hair, smell and poop?

[Polybius]

37. Cute, but way way too many perts

Even if you don't work, it's gotta be a lot of work. I would hate to never be left alone, you wouldn't be able to turn around without a pet being besides you. Plus the smell...
