Guess what? It’s possible and your opportunity might be coming up sooner than you think! Hopefully, you will find the tips and tricks in this article a useful guide to help get you started. In the age of social media, it’s become a little easier for pet product brands to connect with the “influencer” cats that they fall in love with on Instagram. However, there’s a little more to getting modeling or acting jobs for your cat than just posting a snapshot on Instagram and hoping for the best. Just like in the human acting world, there are a lot more available actors than available parts, but there are a few things you can do to greatly enhance your cat’s chances of getting selected to be that next iconic cat featured on food packages or in commercials.
Get the Right Pictures
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you’re trying to get your cat a modeling job, it’s worth everything. Good pictures are simply a must, both professional and candid. Videos are helpful, too. You want to present your cat in the best light possible. Your cat’s pictures are being viewed by producers and brand managers along with those of dozens of other cats.

This time period is not generally considered to have been friendly to anyone, human nor animal, but it was especially hostile toward felines. Ignorance of knowledge and science was rampant among the majority of the population, with the ability to read limited to clerics and the wealthy. Myths, legends, and galliard songs spread widely throughout Europe as people migrated from place to place, searching for food and a safe habitat. Fear of the unknown and the unexplainable, particularly of witches and their cat familiars, was spread not only by the stories and songs, but by the Popes themselves.
