A surprise super star in the family

This time it's the cat. Koddee. He's about to hit it big time in Detroit.

No seriously....Koddee is going to be on a greeting card in Detroit Michigan.

Here is a bit of the back ground story as I know it.

Our fabulously talented friend Michel Feist who has a day job on top of all her freelancing at Graphos here in Edmonton was involved in some pro-bono work with a fellow co-worker Graphos was doing for a ACTSS a not-for-profit organisation that helps pets with cancer.

They were working on ideas to use for ACTSS brocures and websites when Michel & crew came up with the idea to depict an animal in a humanized situation receiving chemo treatments, a sort of shock advertising-tug-on-your-heart-strings kind of thing.

So, Michel knows that we have a cat who happens to live with a cat whisperer (Terry, he seems to speak cat somehow) asked us if they could shoot Koddee....yes of course! So they came over and did a photo shoot last summer after work.

After torturing Kodde for about an hour they ended up with the amount of shots and angles needed in order to create this:

I believe they said it was 7 different shots used to make this one

So Chemo kitty was presented at an ATCSS board meeting and they LOVED it! Loved!! Then they were approached by Avanti cards out of Detroit who were interested in securing the greeting card rights to this image! wha...?? Graphos and ATCSS agreed to this as well as to donate all proceeds from the sale of the image to ATCSS for use in pet cancer treatments.

So there he is, our annoying none-to-cuddly cat is going to be famous in Detroit.

Who would have thunk.
