rose_duclos Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ok, of my cats - there are only 4 - Charlotte is the most beautiful of them - too bad she's so shy.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus maurer Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 "Willi" and "Otto" the minipigs live outside at a public centre for families in Zurich together with goats and rabbits and guinea-pigs. Mainly as an attraction for smaller children which in voluntary groups take care of them. Balthasar choosed to live there in the stable most of the time, he is not my cat.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2imaging Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 @Rose - HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! WHERE'S THE MODERATOR? WHAT DID YOU WIN? GET US ALL WORKED UP AND THEN POST A CAT PIC? Tell me you didn't win another cat off eBay... btw: The film is gorgeous! Too bad I didn't shoot anything worthwhile. Just testing a new (to me) lot of film. Can't wait to get it scanned and slide a frame or two into the enlarger. I'm all giddy, I haven't used Tech Pan in over a decade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainvisions Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 That Pig is awesome...but I really want a goat. <P> Actually, next up, scanning some of the photos of Caney and the goat...taken with the PZ-1P on BWC400, just have to find them :( we all got a kick out of him sizing up the dog from hell (goat with horns), he never would look him in the eye. <P> Thanks for the comments rose, forgot our other family member: <P> Ande taken on a HP850, I do have a few of him off the PZ-1P and Program Plus but they were print scans which I'm never happy with, and yes he is that soft. <BR> <img src="http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/pico23_23/Ande.jpg" border="0"/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I love the goat pic - I've always liked goats. :) But, markus, the way you phrased that - I'm thinking you're pretending to be a goat? :) Justin, I don't know what type of creature, this last one is - but he's absolutely adorable. I just love his ear poking out from under that cloth- and, those tiny little paws. :) If I didn't think my cats would torture the poor thing - I'd want one. Matt - I just was testing to see if you were interested. :) I didn't want to bore you. It's a little off topic - but I finally picked up an old rangefinder - the Voigtlander Vitessa T. I've been reading comments about it on the 'classic cameras pre 1970' and it seems to be very well liked. So now that I've got my self a manual camera - I will need to learn more about the films out there, and what I should be putting in her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Oh, I'd never have to bid for another cat - I have a friend who keeps offering me hers - and, I know that it would be too much on my Caramel to take it. anyone want a cat? she's very pretty. and playful. she lives in a an asian grocery store - she snuck in one day, and refuses to leave.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.t. dowling Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Awww... she looks like a sweetie. I'm afraid two cats is my limit at the moment. I had to stop volunteering at the local animal shelter because it was SO hard to resist taking them all home with me. :-(<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2imaging Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 @Rose- If Justin isn't going to help you out, I will: It's a Chinchilla, a rabbit-sized, crepuscular rodent native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they belong to the family Chinchillidae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I can't believe I forgot to add this... Can't get rid of a cat in an Asain Market? What's wrong, are they in an Italian neighborhood? Perhaps the cat is mis-labeled? Maybe the butcher wants too much for processing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Matt, you're mean. Americanized Asians don't eat cat. They also don't seem to want to take them home. The poor dear has lived in the grocery for over 2 months now. Funny thing, a few people have offered to take her, and each time they come to claim her, the cat goes into hiding. She seems happy where she is, but it's not much of a home-life. Super cute, chinchillas - I gather you don't joke about people eating those. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Chinchillas are no good to eat, but make GREAT coats...<br><br> Just so we are on the same page, I'm not a xenophobe. It's not funny to me because it offends asians, it is funny to me because it offends cat lovers. ;-P<br><br> <a href="http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/chinese.asp" target="new">(An interesting read, LISTEN TO THE SONG!)</A><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainvisions Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yep, Chinchilla, and matts info is correct. From the Andes. Kind of a high mountain group squirel. Long tail just like a squirel, they eat very little and drink even less. The Andes are a dry arid climate where liquid water is scarce. The actually prefer cold to heat, and are probably one of the higher dwelling creatures in the world. All the animals get a long great. The cat (Jasper) used to be obscessed with him early on but now (because the dog is a glutten) we have to put the cats food up on the chilla cage, where the cat eats (we put cardboard up there for a platform since the wires would dig into his paws). No problems!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
