The other day, I was asked to photograph the fattest cats at the sanctuary. This was no easy task. That whole rule they say about the camera adding ten pounds apparently doesn’t work for cats. It’s exactly the opposite. Wide-angle or long lens, the camera tends to make even the most portly cats appear slender, or at the very least, not obese. I went building to building meeting fatty after fatty, each one seemingly fatter than the last. But the fatter they got, the skinnier they seemed to look in the camera. I could not for the life of me take a photo that showed the true fattitude of these fat cats. But then I met Peppermint Patty, by far the fattest of the fat, and even though she looks skinnier in the photo than she actually is, she still manages to look fat.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
