Our camera hasn't been working for a while, which is why I haven't been doing any cat blogging for a while. But Ingrid and I got camera phones for our birthdays this year (thanks, moms- in- law!), which means I can start cat blogging again. Of course, the very first picture I took with my new camera phone was a picture of one of our cats.
This is Lydia, sitting next to me on the couch. I think it turned out well, especially for a first photo with a new phone. It's a very classic Lydia expression: very intent, and at the same time very blank. Looking like she wants something very badly, but isn't quite sure what. That's our girl.
Somehow, I couldn't help but think of the XKCD strip graphing the effect of cat proximity on humans, or at least, cat-loving humans.

It's good to see Lydia. I look forward to many more pics of her, now that you're technologically functional again. :)

The graph JJ mentions applies to dog-lovers too: our dogs seem to absorb IQ points from us.

I have no idea what you're talking about, J.J. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go snorgle my wuzza and give her big belly-rubs. :-)

Sounds familiar...

So... what kind of camera phones?
I'm hoping to turn the comment thread into a gadget war of some sort! I mean, what use are comment threads on the internet, if not to argue about gadget superiority?
