Just got word that Lorenzo is going to be one of three animals featured in a new National Geographic Kids book called “Animal Superstars.” And, he’s going to be the cover boy.
He just wasn’t in the mood to get dressed this morning. We’ll go back out there tomorrow. Location: South Beach, Art Deco lifeguard stand.
AppleSeeds, a magazine for children, features Lorenzo as America’s model cat. His girlfriend Matilda, the Algonquin Hotel cat, is also featured in this issue devoted to cats that rock.
Setting up for a shoot, feral cat shows up, says to Lorenzo, “Dude, what’s with the clothes?” A few seconds later they got into a fight. Location: historic Cauley Square, south Miami Dade County.
Brazilian tv network, Globo, features Lorenzo the Cat. En Portuguese, of course. Here’s the story:
Joann Biondi não hesitou em largar seu trabalho como escritora freelancer para iniciar sua carreira de fotógrafa ao perceber que seu pequeno gatinho de estimação tinha um comportamento diferente de outros gatos. O felino, batizado de Lorenzo, gostava de vestir roupas e fazer incríveis poses para a câmera.

Desde então, o gatinho passou a roubar peças de suas roupas que estavam no cesto de roupas sujas. Em um determinado momento, já bastante irritada, Joann decidiu se vingar de Lorenzo colocando em sua cabeça uma blusinha. Para sua surpresa, o animal não só gostou da ideia como estufou o peito e fez uma linda pose como se fosse um modelo.
Foi a partir daí que Joann passou a vestir seu animal de estimação com diversas roupas e fotografá-lo em vários ambientes. Mostrando um talento incomparável, Lorenzo hoje faz sucesso em todos os lugares nos quais suas fotografias são expostas, como nas galerias de arte da Flórida e de Massachusetts e no Museu de Arte de Cornell.
Acompanhe abaixo algumas das deslumbrantes fotografias do gatinho Lorenzo. Você pode mais mais no site oficial de Joann Biondi.

A Cat as Model & Muse, Photography by Joann Biondi
By Nate Kay
For 20 years, Joann Biondi worked as a freelance writer. Then one day she adopted a kitten that had been tossed in a garbage can and left for dead. That kitten had an unusual quirk; he liked to wear clothes and pose for the camera. So Joann started shooting, and then she got serious about photography. Fast forward four years and that kitten is now Lorenzo the Cat, a feline art photography project that has gotten both the cat and the photographer a lot of attention; gallery shows, museum exhibits, and stories in major media outlets throughout the world. Amid it all Lorenzo has remained a mellow dude who still likes to roll around in the dirt, chase lizards, and knock things off the kitchen counter when his food bowl is empty.
