I just bought a new digital SLR camera, and I’ve been snapping lots of photos around the house to get used to all the settings. So, for no particular reason: Here is [Tigger awake.](http://photobucket.com/image/tiggr/SPORTYBUELL/tiggr/P6110451-2-small.jpg?o=2) [Tigger asleep](http://photobucket.com/image/tiggr/SPORTYBUELL/tiggr/P6010413-2-small.jpg?o=4) And a [flower](http://photobucket.com/image/tiggr/SPORTYBUELL/tiggr/P6150490-2.jpg?o=3), just because it was there. ---

Yes, my alternate title was “My cat is fatter than yours.”, but I thought people might take that as a challenge. (I guess that could have been interesting too.) He is quite firm though. Not all squishee like some fat cats i’ve seen. 🙂 ---

He’s very handsome. And the flower is pretty. And I have no intention of confessing how many cat and flower pictures I have taken. ---

Timed out!!! TIMED OUT!!! I WANT TO SEE THE CHUBBY KITTEH!!! Actually, I’m getting a link to [atspace.com](http://atspace.com)? and not photobucket, as it appears it ought to be. Why is that? Could it be something on my end? WinXP, Firefox 2.0.0.14… gonna run a virus-scan, I guess ☹ I still want to see the chubby kitteh… _sulks, and stomps out of the room_ ---

Not meaning to interrupt the squee-fest or anything, but nobody has asked the really important questions. What kind of camera and why aren’t you in the [SDMB flickr group](http://www.flickr.com/groups/sdmb_meets_flickr/)? Also, cute cat. ---

[/QUOTE] I’ve got an Olympus e-410 with both the 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses. This is the first I’ve heard of the flikr group. It looks cool though, I’ll sign up soon. Do you have discussions, or is it mainly a place to post your work? ---

I can see the chubby kitteh today… all is good with the world\*. He is very cute! And so is your cat, **postcards**. \*it appears Photobucket had a DNS hack/problem or something.
