Adopted a cat today...

[philliptan]

Went to the Purina Cat Championships at the Expo today.... Never expected to bring ANYTHING back home since we already have 5 cats...

Walked to the CWS (www.catwelfare.org) exhibit and before you know it, a BIG black cat called Tuxedo followed us home. And he's huge! About 7 kgs!! Now we've got a mini black panther in the house. Very lovable and tame... A paddler. Those with cats will know what I mean.

Meet Tux! (Those on 15" 1024x768... this photo is actual size!)

Thanks, bro! Focus was on left eye with 50mm f/1.8...
@paddler = kittens usually paddle around the mummy's nipples to help express the milk. Normally, full grown cats will outgrow this habit. Sometimes when they are happy, they remember this moment in their past and start paddling again... Big paw+sharp claws+paddling = OUCH!!

Actually I love cats more than planes... Cats love you back... planes just sit there. At one point I had 10 cats in a small 3-room flat...

Yep, he's got a triangular patch on his chest, just like he's wearing a tuxedo... and some of his toes are also white...

Bro, we went there at 10am and adopted the cat at 11:30am... at that time they were worried that no one would adopt them cos we were only the second adoptees. Good to know so many were adopted!

Uncle Catz, cannot get more lah... my house so small... Wah! 8kg, not cat already... is sumo cat!!
