Going through all my picks, looking for the ones that still WOW me. Hope to
get an album going soon. Here's one that caught my eye.

I've got a question. The closeness of this macro shot is impressive. How
the hell do you stop the cat from clawing your eyes out after the flash has
gone off? He's obviously within distance...

Dusty is one cute cat btw...

Wow, I love this picture. The only thing I might do is considerably
darken the tunnel to lose the details of the paper.

Man, I want your cat :)

Hehehe... The poor cat here looks like one of those weird creatures from
National Geographic Special :)

I think Sasha looks way more demonic in the tunnel picture.

There are no ugly cats, just ugly non-cat owners.

my cat's eyes from this close.

Cute kitty though.

cats. Its a special 'less-allergenic' breed, Cornish Rex. His name is

I might as well join the crowd. This is the first photo I've taken with
my new Sony F707 -- cropped and resized for the web, but not otherwise
retouched. Taken in fairly dim indoor lighting with no flash @ ISO400
setting.

Very cute. I would take the pictures (numbers from left to right top to
bottom) and labeled them as follows:

1. "Hi, stranger"
2. "Oh, you're the strong silent type"
4. "Kiss me, Rocky"
5. "That's my boyfriend"

Okay, so I do get strange ideas at midnight :)

Ah, mine is a minx, short stubby tail, raised rear section, kind
of like a bobcat. But the face and color, like twins.

These are also quite useful if your neighbour's cat is causing a problem:

Thanks, Bill :) Well, technically, it is a Manx, but I was trying to
give a general summary of the personality as well :)
