17 Pets, One Perfect Photo: Woman Finally Gets Them All to Sit Still

Imagine the chaos of a family gathering, but instead of human relatives, you have 17 pets vying for attention.

Kathy Smith, a 30-year-old from Corwen, Wales, is a testament to the herculean task of capturing such a sprawling family in a single frame.

With eight dogs, nine cats, four budgies, fish, and a baby hedgehog, her household is a zoo of activity.

While the thought of a family photo with even a handful of pets can send most people into a frenzy, Kathy’s determination was unwavering.

Gathering her furry brood was no easy feat. The dogs, though relatively obedient, were a breeze compared to the elusive cats.

It took three attempts to coax all nine feline friends into the frame. Finally, in a fleeting moment, all 17 pets aligned for the perfect shot.

Kathy’s excitement was palpable. “It’s like a little family photo,” she gushed, her joy evident in her voice.

The image, a testament to her patience and love for her unusual family, is a heartwarming reminder that even the most chaotic situations can yield beautiful results.
