LOl!
In most of those, Johnny looks about the way most cats do when you try to get them to pose. (He's not very happy, still, in the final photo!). (I definitely have to go with unposed photos for my cats!)
I liked the first pic (if it weren't blurry...or maybe that's just because I don't have my glasses on! ) and the one that you captioned about having to get rid of the prop (it would have been a perfect pose without the prop! Can you do Photoshop to remove it?).
Don't be discouraged by how many pics you had to take to get a good one. Sometimes, the contestants on "America's Top Model" have more than that and their pics don't look very good! And you had to deal with two 'models' at once.
