Mi Aike squatted in the shadowless studio of "Star Pet Photography Studio", holding the shutter release cable with his fingertips, his eyes on the viewfinder of the SLR camera, and breathing very lightly. On the white velvet mat in the center of the shed, a ragdoll cat named "Snowball" was hunched over, his amber eyes warily staring at the swinging cat stick in front of him - that was the "dynamic hunting feeling" photo requested by the customer. However, Snowball was just adopted from the rescue center. He had been living in a small cage for the past three months. He became stressed as soon as he entered the unfamiliar shed and his fur had been blowing up for half an hour.
"Brother Mi, why don't you stop for a while?" Assistant Xiao Chen held up the cat teasing stick, his arms shaking with soreness. "The client said that we should wait for up to an hour before the photo can be taken..."
Mi Aike didn't look back, and his voice was very low: "Don't stop, replace the cat teasing stick with freeze-drying, shake it slowly, and reduce the amplitude by half." His eyes were always locked in the viewfinder - the tip of Snowball's tail was trembling slightly, but his ears changed from completely erect to slightly tilted forward, which was a sign of stress relief. He is very familiar with these details. He has been doing pet photography for ten years. He has photographed Alaska who chewed up three sets of photography clothes, photographed a hamster that hid in a camera bag and refused to come out, and even photographed an adult Siberian tiger in the zoo that refused to cooperate with the physical examination. What he relies on is never "force", but "observation".

His body slowly lowered, his paws gently rested on the velvet pads, and his tail no longer frayed, but swung gently in the direction of the freeze-drying. Mi Aike's eyes lit up and he pointed his finger
