Well, they're home, causing utter chaos and we're loving every minute of it!

Ours used to pose and our regular visitor from next door beams for the camera, when he's not looking down on us with a superior expression

I'm not teaching granny how to suck eggs, but if you turn the flash off your camera then they will look. But if you leave the flash on they will look away. Otherwise, it's all about trial and error.
