Damn It!!!
 

I SO hate it when this happens!!! :mad:

Mattie the cat is asleep on the bottom shelf of one of our television stands and it's so damned cute.

I had the camera handy, scooped it up, and attempted to snap a pick.

The miserable piece of #@!% beeped at me to indicate the batteries are dead and refused to take the picture.

*grumble, mutter, curse*

Mattie raised her head at the beep, then went back to sleep. I gently put the camera down to prevent myself from hurling it across the room.

I feel your pain! Happens to me more often than I'd like to! :rolleyes:

I was on the phone when Samba, the orange cat, was snoozing away peacefully cuddled up with Tiny, the life sized stuffed gorilla in the living room and hence couldn't even try to get *that* pic. I would have snapped like piano wire if I'd missed that one, though.

I *may* have gotten a pic of Samba wrestling with Dingo a few days ago, though. I had the sense to hand the camera to my husband for that.

Life needs a "pause" button.

I been there too. I know how you feel.

I thought you were going to say that as soon as you got the camera, had it on, and were ready to take a picture, Mattie got up and went someplace else.

There will always be that perfect chance...
