The 'I just bought a new camera so here are pictures of my cats' Thread

Peter, our boy cat, was recently diagnosed with an intestinal carcinoma. He’s fine for the moment - we had the mass removed, and the vet doesn’t think it’s metastisized, and two weeks outta the hosptial, he’s got his stitches out and is back to knocking shit over and being a pest - but my wife was pretty tore up for a while.

I figured I’d get her some prints made from the dozens of various snaps we’ve taken over the years, but after looking at the results, I realized just how bad photos from an $80 digital camera with a plastic lens can be.

So that was my excuse to go out an blow some money on a nice 6MP Canon with 12X zoom. Without further ado:

Kitties! ::squee:: They’re both beautiful kitties. I’m glad Peter is okay.

No finer use for a camera, IMO.

Handsome boys, they are!

Excellent kitty (and Wonderbeagle) pics! What better use can there be for a camera?

You might want to think about reducing the size of the pictures. It’s hard to tell what the kitties are doing when you can only see one GIANT EAR at a time :smiley:

There is an easy fix for this. Click on Tools, Internet Options. Click on the advanced tab then scroll down to Multimedia. Put a check mark in the “Enable automatic image resizing” Click apply and ok. It will take just as long for larger images to load but they will be resized to fit your screen. My wife had the same complaint a few days ago on her new computer.

Yeah, sorry. I apparently forgot to resize a couple of 'em, and Firefox automatically does it for big pictures, so I didn’t notice.

Just be glad I took the pictures of their front ends.

I drive a Mac using Safari, so what you said doesn’t compute for me.

Dogbutler, you have at least one cat, and you sleep with all that stuff over your head? You’re braver than I. :smiley:

Well I moved the hand grenade after she missed my head by this much: |-----------|

My sweety baby boy, Claudius Bubbus the Butt Pirate, sleeps like that in the top of his kitty tree. I’ll have to get some pics and post some of all my kids. :slight_smile:
