"It should go without saying, but it is much easier to reposition your device than it is to reposition your cat. Try to follow your cat around for a minute or two like this without taking any photos, just using the focus box as the anchor point and keeping them in the centre of the frame. If they're asleep or stationary, this should be a relatively easy task.
The goal of practicing continued focus on the cat is for you to become more inclined to place them as the centrepiece of the shot. As time goes on, feel free to experiment with weighting the shot with the cat in different quadrants or omitting parts of their body if you've zoomed in super close. You can get some really lovely shots by balancing a photo in unusual ways!"
