I know I don’t need another camera, but check this one out: The new Pentax Optio I-10. What’s special about it? It features “face detection”. What’s new, though, is that it responds to dogs and cats as well as people.
Upgraded face detection — detecting even the faces of dogs and cats
The Optio I-10 features a [...]

Mid-Week Miscellany
February 3rd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Cats, Media, Politics
Have you noticed that the Star-Bulletin quietly eliminated the easy link to the past week’s editions as well as any link to its online archive, both features which made the S-B stand out in user friendliness. I don’t know when the change took place. I searched in vain for “back issues” and “archives” at Star-Bulletin.com [...]

Everyone but Annie on this Feline Friday
January 22nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · Cats, Photographs
Do you recognize this classic pose? It’s a cat patiently waiting for her prey to reappear. Since it’s early, I’ll just say that Ms. Wally’s quest was successful, although she had to stand watch for more than four days.
Seven of our eight cats showed up to pose for the camera this week. Only Ms. Annie [...]

That’s Duke, on the left, and Ms. Maka, on the right.
But yesterday we got the news of Maka’s diagnosis.

When we found her, she was rolled on her side in a defensive position as if those little kitten claws would challenge the [...]

Feline Friday: The cats leave 2009 behind
January 1st, 2010 · 3 Comments · Cats, Photographs
As they say, the best camera is the one you’ve got with you. When Wally and Toby took refuge together last night, New Year’s Eve, in front of the stove displaying one of our Christmas presents, my best camera was my iPhone.
Cats do not enjoy fireworks. The first distant pop sends Ms. Kili scurrying [...]

Feline Friday: The cats at Christmas
December 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Cats, Photographs
No, Mr. Romeo was not celebrating Christmas, more likely just enjoying a big of sun on the deck.
And that sort of sets the stage for this Feline Friday. Lots of cats, not so much Christmas in evidence.
Our neighbor, Elizabeth, did managed to bedeck her two cats with festive colors, and so I’ve included them in [...]
