The Photo Bomb
If you are someone who blogs about pets – or someone who reviews products and lives with pets – chances are, you have encountered the photo bomb.
For the uninitiated, a photo bomb can be defined as a verb:
To spoil a photograph of (a person or thing) by unexpectedly appearing in the camera’s field of view as the picture is taken, typically as a prank or practical joke
Or as a noun:
A photograph that has been spoiled by the unexpected appearance of an unintended subject in the camera’s field of view as the picture was taken
Either way, the end result is the same: the photographer is left with a picture that reflects a surprising and unintended result!
When you live with cats, unintended results become a part of your everyday norm. “Expect the unexpected” – the famous catch-phrase from the reality television show, Big Brother – becomes a mantra you live by.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. Surprises keep you on your toes and they often bring with them a ray of sunshine and unexpected joy!
So awhile back – out of the blue – my blender unexpectedly died (at the most inopportune time, I might add!) After much research, I decided to take the plunge and treat myself to a Vitamix like I’d been dreaming of for years. What incredible machines they make! They slice. They dice. They do everything except wash my windows and make my bed!
But I digress.
On the big day when my package arrived, I decided to take a ton of photos, including a few of the original packaging in case I wanted to review it down the line.
Sensing my excitement, Magellan (who often likes to see me beg, plea and cajole him into cooperation when I need to photograph him with a cat-related item, but insists on being front and center on the food and kitchen related photos that would be more appropriate for him to sit out on the sidelines for) appeared out of nowhere and practically slid into these photos, giving new meaning to the word photo bomb!
Magellan appreciates the finer things in life. It appears that if Vitamix is ever looking for a feline spokesperson with star quality to represent their brand, I have found them their cat!

Your sweet kitties ARE the BOMB!
Lovely photos of Magellan ~ A born photogenic cat-model!
Magellan makes a quite wonderful Vitamix model!
The questions remaining are, does he actually use it and what does he like to make?!
Well he leaves the product making to us humans but when it comes time to test the goods – that’s the other area where he excels! 🙂
That cat is the best – photo bomb away Mr. Magellan! Thanks for hosting/making me smile! : )
Ahhh! Maybe he was excited too since he saw you so happy. You have to forgive him. He is the cutest photo bomber I have seen.
LOL, the cutest photo bomber!
He seems quite proud of himself! He knows what he’s doing!
Have a great day
Magellan, that is an excellent photobomb! You make that already awesome Vitamix PAWsome! 🙂
Thank you for hosting, as always, Ramona. Hugs to you, Magellan and Tsunami. 🙂
Well, as far as I’m concerned kitties are the original photo bombers because they’re always there…. and here…. and over there… etc. etc. etc. beahahahahahaha have a great week! hugs
Your pictures are so beautiful, Megallan. I think the photo-bombing isn’t so bad, as long as we’re in it 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy WW 🙂 <3
