I love tuxedos. Especially unusual ones like Boo & Cory. My Bootsie has a
solid
black face, but a white chin. It gives her a very petulant expression.

My new terror, Marbles, is also a tux with a messy face. Kind of a lightning
strike looking mark down his face. I should post a pic of him to my yahoo
thing but, if I recall, last time I tried it was a pain. For some reason, some
of the ones I tried to upload didn't work, it kept saying they were the "wrong
size," even though they were the same size as the ones that I was able to
upload. Maybe I'll try to figure it out this weekend.

Oh, that sounds cute. Like a blaze face? E-mail me the pic! Just take "kitty"
out of my address. I guess while we're all bragging, I'll pull out the 6-foot
accordian photo holder of my cats:

Yoda. My senior citizen cat. You can see Biskit up by the house.

Frank. Someone told me this pic looks like a bonsai cat that's been repotted
outside.

Biskit. She's a dumped cat I kept. She likes to sit in the open window, and
hang her head out.

Bootygirl. She's DH's cat. I guess all the close-up pics of her are still on
the old computer. This is the only two I could find but you can't see her very
well. We *did* take the birdhouse down, immediately :) She's a real daddy's
girl.

enlightened us with...

Gnarly is my girl, the blue cream tortoiseshell who died at age 20 in 2001.
Softest fur in the world, not very bright, very vocal, and buckets of fun.
All of these cats are adopted strays.

OMG, she looks almost just like my Isis!! :)
More tan on her face, but very close.
Pretty kitties.

iii) Remove the redeye in software.


It's tedious, though some packages have auto-redeye removal that can
be OK.

(...)

Do you mean a camera with no automatic setting when you say
"better than a point and shoot?"


No; something better able to work in relatively low-light conditions
without a flash - basically a dSLR is the other choice at this point
in time.

I was impressed that the Nikon
Coolpix 4300 would allow me to set the shutter speed and ISO.


You will probably find that ISO400 pix are too noisy to be of much
use, though there does exist noise removal software (e.g., Neatimage).

Do I have to spend 3K for non P&S?


No. You can get a new dSLR for c.$700 and this price is bound to drop
some more. Not really worth buying if you're only interested in taking
occasional potshots at the cats though. Plus a SLR is much more bulky
and awkward than a P&S.

I love this buff, not red color! Very creamy and pretty.

Frank. Someone told me this pic looks like a bonsai cat that's been

Frank has the coloring I would love to have if I get to
adopt another cat. I love that Siamese coloring--the blue eyes, the
chocolate and cafe au lait and cream, so pretty.

Biskit. She's a dumped cat I kept. She likes to sit in the open window,

and

I love the story in the other group about her chewing the
computer cord in half and your husband's response. I wish I had a man like
that. Mine is a cat lover but the electronics are off limits!
