The Story of Waffles the Cat
Waffles was a Scottish Fold kitten who had trouble finding a home because people considered him unattractive or unusual. His siblings were adopted while he remained behind. Eventually, Laine Lee and her partner visited the place where he was staying while looking for a dog. Waffles greeted them, licked their hands and showed them his furry belly—and they ended up taking him home instead.
Laine began photographing Waffles to document his life because she regretted not taking enough photos of previous pets. At first the photos were shared with friends, but the audience quickly grew. Eventually Waffles became an internationally recognized internet cat, appearing in magazines, TV and the 2016 movie Nine Lives.
