Guilty as charged. **KlondikeGeoff** , are you the one who owns the escaped tigers, I mean Bengals? Someone around here routinely posts a picture of a tiger lounging on a scratching post. They claim it’s a cat but I swear it has paws the size of my face. ---

I know. I think, “oh, great. Another stupid boring cat picture. Almost as bad as baby pictures.” But I click anyway, damnit. We can’t all be rocket scientists hanging out in GQ. But we can all be cat-specialists! ---

I have 13 cats in my house (hey, it’s a big house), so you’d think I’d be so accustomed to feline fuzzfaces that I wouldn’t want to see or talk about 'em. But I guess I’m addicted. I admit that when I visit the SDMB, I click every cat-related thread I see. ---

They claim it’s a cat but I swear it has paws the size of my face. That would be me. I thought I’d only posted that photo a couple of times, but I guess that’s enough to be considered routine. Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have any pictures of the beast on my computer that give a good sense of scale, but I swear he really is just an ordinary house cat, albeit on the big side. I got some good before and after pictures of his brother this weekend: [with flash, by mistake](http://www.flickr.com/photos/20478468@N00/131201308/) and [“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”](http://www.flickr.com/photos/20478468@N00/131201309/) ---

Just to make the voice of the silent opposition heard, a thread with the word “cat” in the title is usually an instant skipover for me. :o ---
