我給女士和她們的貓拍照，是為了打破“瘋狂的貓女士”的刻板印象，以下是我最喜歡的照片

I started “Girls and Their Cats” on Instagram in 2015 as a way to debunk the crazy cat lady stereotype and showcase cat-owning women in a positive light.

2015年，我在Instagram上發(fā)布了《女孩和她們的貓》，以此打破人們對(duì)貓女的刻板印象，并以積極的態(tài)度展示養(yǎng)貓的女性。

I have since photographed more than 300 cat ladies and their rescued or adopted cats in cities across the U.S.

從那以后，我在美國(guó)各地的城市拍攝了300多貓女士和她們收養(yǎng)的貓。

I have a book coming out in August 2019 and wanted to share a few of my favorite photos with you along with snippets from their stories, which you can read in full in the book.

我有一本書將于2019年8月出版，我想和你分享一些我最喜歡的照片，以及他們故事的片段，你可以在書中完整閱讀。

Aisha Awadallah, Alex, Xena, and Tigger

艾莎·阿瓦達(dá)拉，亞歷克斯，希娜和跳跳虎

“My three cats are all reflections of me and represent the full spectrum of my personality and phases of my life.”

“我的三只貓都是我的倒影，代表了我的性格和人生的各個(gè)階段。”

Hannah Shaw, Coco and Eloise

漢娜·肖，可可和埃洛伊斯

“Coco was my inspiration for getting involved in kitten rescue and shifting all of my advocacy efforts to focus on neonatal kittens and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). Raising her taught me how great a need there is for educational resources about kitten care.”

“Coco是我參與小貓救助的靈感來(lái)源，并將我所有的倡導(dǎo)工作轉(zhuǎn)移到新生小貓和誘捕-絕育-回歸(TNR)上。撫養(yǎng)它讓我認(rèn)識(shí)到，我們非常需要小貓護(hù)理方面的教育資源。”

“Eloise is a shy girl. She’s not keen on new people or new experiences, which makes our bond even more special.”

“愛洛伊絲是個(gè)害羞的女孩。她不喜歡新朋友或新體驗(yàn)，這讓我們的關(guān)系更加特殊。”

Sara Anderson and Loki

莎拉·安德森和洛基

“Loki is incredibly affectionate, cuddly, and chatty. He loves napping on our bellies, eating chicken and scrambled eggs, and receiving hearty head scratches.”

“洛基非常深情、可愛、健談。它喜歡睡在我們的肚子上，吃雞肉和炒雞蛋，還喜歡撓頭。”

Monica Choy, Linus and Zorro

莫妮卡·崔，萊納斯和佐羅

“Linus, who’s named after the Zen Peanuts character, has a lot of poise, and I often think of him as a cat model. He’s always posing with his paws and tail positioned just so.”

“萊納斯以《花生禪宗》中的角色命名，它很沉穩(wěn)，我經(jīng)常把它當(dāng)成貓的模特。它總是把爪子和尾巴擺成這種姿勢(shì)。”

“Zorro is more standoffish with strangers, but he is loyal and tender to those he’s chosen as his people.”

“佐羅對(duì)陌生人比較冷淡，但它對(duì)那些它選擇的人很忠誠(chéng)，很溫柔。”
