I, too, am a cat fancier, and have owned cats ever since 1953 with, at one point, about 15 cats in the family. The title of the contest may be in questionable taste, but I haven't seen any pictures of anything but well-pampered felines enjoying their existence alongside their Leica owners. I would think that Leica owners would like cats in particular. They have 9-lives, make very little noise, seem to live for ever, and are very low maintenance. And they look handsome sitting on the mantle. :-) If I had seen images submitted of people abusing cats, I'd be with you on this one, but I haven't seen anything like that so far (I still have about 100 posts in my inbox).

How is it that the weakest and most vulnerable are the butt of mean spirited, cruel and puerile humor---and worse, the real cruelty? Barbour and Colen's attempts at humor at the expense of the cat population demonstrate only that you guys are a pair of mealy mouthed cowards. It's interesting to note that Barbour feels a need to share his family's medical issues with the LUG in the form of his PAW, all the while showing his true colors with his thoughts and his words in this forum. Via his photos, perhaps the folks on the LUG provide some comfort and sympathy that he can't get from people in his life who really know him well. As for Colen, how many years have passed since he lost all of his sensibility---and credibility? No wonder he's so damn negative amount everything. But before you think I'm feeling superior, you know what, I'm just like you guys. As I write this, I'm struck by a vision of a photo of B.D. with his Olympus digital sticking out of his ass---now that's funny!
