Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2008Caliban's 'fingerprint'
Many of you will remember the first picture I had of little baby Caliban, flashing the camera. In case you don't, it's here: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/1382780854058511339QYpDzj Caliban loves to display his bum. He always keeps his tail proudly in the air and sticks his bum up when he walks. He tries to stick it in my face all the time. I have to tell him, 'I can see it's you. I don't need to smell your backside to know it's you.' But Caliban takes his bum very seriously. It is his caling card and his fingerprint. He just proved that to me. I have a fingerprint swiper on my laptop. Just now, as Caliban was begging for his breakfast, he sat down on the fingerprint swiper. It announced: 'Cannot verify your fingerprint. The image was scanned but it has poor quality to be accepted.' and 'Swipe your finger slower. The image was not accepted. Place the same finger on the fingerprint sensor again.' Calibban won't comply since he is now happily munching on his breakfast.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > Many of you will remember the first picture I had of little baby Caliban, > flashing the camera.

What a little cutie! He's such a handsome, classic tabby, with his white paws. I was at a cat show many years ago that included a 'household pet' class. There was one very nice marmalade kitty, but none of the rest were even in Caliban's class for classic kitty good looks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

There are some real stunners - and of course all of ours are beautiful :) Jill > I have a fingerprint swiper on my laptop.

Thanks Adrian When I first got it I couldn't read text at 1680 by 1050 I had to set it lower and resize the font but I suspect that's mostly down to the fact that I'm not used to such a big screen but now I'm a bit more used to it it's back to 1680 by 1050 and I just have to mess aroind with the contrast but not right now- want to get completely comfortable with it before I start changing the settings in case the problem is me and not the setting Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >>> OMG!

It did make me rofl, but I thought it was one of those things you had to see.

That's cute. Maybe he's just doing his equivalent of sitting on a copy machine to photocopy his butt?
