Hi there,

I’m the owner of the two cats at the bottom of the page (Pixel & Willow). It’s nice to see someone with a clear opinion about these cats, other then “OMG they’re ugly!” In fact they are actually, but that’s only skindeep.
I’m not going to debate the ethics of breeding a mutation (have you seen some of the dogs people keep?). I’m much to biased for the weird and strange. I’d even love a robot if it could show affection and have big eyes (wall-E).
The first time I saw one of these creatures on Flickr I was sold. They aroused my curiosity and soon after I learned they were good for people with allergies. Being allergic to any kind of animal (except for the odd turtle and goldfish) I never had a pet in my life. So that’s how I got these two.

They are very affectionate in nature and often behave like small children. And boy are they smart. The most fun we have is talking to them, because they tend to respond with just the right meow to get you ROFL-ing in no time.

Like I said before, the looks are only skindeep, it’s the personality of them that gets to you. Here’s a tip if you feel up to it. Find someone who has one or two of them, not a breeder or a catshow. But someone who actually lives with them. Spend some time there and get to know the creatures. You’ll be surprised how they grow on you, and if you still don’t like it, no worries. They don’t leave any hair on you!!

Great shot Caitlin. So this “watching” thing you speak of, is it kind of like listening? :)

I certainly find them a lot more interesting (and less aversive) since I took the time to look for pictures like this. I’m especially fascinated by the love scene at the bottom.

Luke, that is so awesome about the sweaters! (Of course, some cats, like Mr Bun, are all friendy-like even when they’re warm :))

ps, please provide pic of cat in sweater.

You’ve really chosen an excellent set of images, Caitlin! These are not my favorite cats (streamlined though they may be ;-)), but it’s hard not to like or at least feel sympathetic toward the ones depicted here.

My friend has one of these, and yes, he’s very affectionate- because he’s COLD. When he wears one of his goof sweaters he’s as distant as any other cat.

Woo-hoo! Or should I say, “Pyow Hack”? Goopymart is my bicycle.

I love that map!

“God help me, I love it so!” :-) That cat makes the best faces.

Comment on New Project: Weekly Setup Shot by Bill

Ah, now your most recent post makes a little more sense! :)

I have a couple of local shooting trips I want to make: the steel mills in Follansbee, WV; the scrap metal yard in Weirton, WV; and a walking shoot through the sadly run-down city of Steubenville, OH (where some of my wife’s family lives). Not really anything to set up for these, just getting myself and my camera out and actually DOING it!

Can you give us a peek at your weekly shot list? I’m curious how that could maybe help me get shooting more. It sounds like an interesting idea.

I too have started taking a camera around with me every day, either my digital SLR, or the new toy I acquired off of ebay: a Canon Canonet rangefinder, still in quite good shape.
