I love the 70-200/2.8 IS (a near perfect cat portrait lens, IMO), but it is a bit heavy to hold steady for protracted periods 1 handed... I need a hand for to get her attention and turn this way or that, unless I want to literally wait forever
f/2.8 or better is a great help for AF when it's quite dark, even though I often have aperture set to f/8 or smaller -- and it's important to do so, because then the cat's eyes fully dilate, and when a flash goes off, with some luck, you can get really nice shots of their eyes.
Ok Ok, I know, nobody cares about my cat
During these droughts I have finding models, I have often thought about getting a cat or dog.
