Kathy Smith has achieved the ultimate feat for any pet owner! Smith was able to get her 17 pets to all pose for a family portrait…at the same time!
Smith is the proud owner of eight dogs and nine cats, and somehow was able to wrangle them all into an incredible family paw-trait.
Smith spent roughly two weeks trying to get the perfect photo, and she finally did it! If you own multiple pets, then you know the struggle. Imagine having 17 of them!

It took Smith handing out many treats and tiny pep talks in order to snap just one split second, perfect pic!

Kathy, from Corwen, Wales, said: “I was so thrilled when I realized I’d captured this shot – it’s like a little family photo.
“I love all of my pets so much so I was really happy when I managed to get them all posing together – despite it not being easy to do.
“I kept trying to get photos of the cats and dogs all together but some of them were always out of frame.
“The dogs will all sit for treats so that was easy enough, but the cats were another matter.

“I now know the real meaning behind herding cats – I had to just keep picking them up and putting them back until they stayed.
“It took about three attempts but in the end I managed to keep them there for a couple of seconds and get the photo before they were off again.
“We live in quite a chaotic house but you get used to it.”
Kathy, who rescues and cares for pets and other wildlife in need, said people are often surprised to see her giant four-legged family when they come to visit her in her three-bedroom semi-detached home.
