Good start for this new thread !

All images are nice and I agree with Elsa : Elliot du Bengale is really beautiful.

I now introduce Sky, a female Dalmatian, my GF's  dog... :)

Great shot of the sleeping Labrador... :-)

Our Abyssinian is a serial killer, he is the best hunting tiger we ever had. Here he is only 5-6 months old, he did not kill the mouse himself. Our older cat caught it and gave it to him so he could play with it, and tune his instincts for hunting and killing.  And he sure succeeded, the first summer (before he was one year) he caught more than 80 mice, several birds, and a weasel. And he also brought home an adult grouse. The bird was already dead, he found it in the forest behind our house and dragged it home, right into our living room. The bird was bigger than the cat!

He's also a gymnast... :-)

And here is Martin and the mosquito.
Like almost all our cats, my sister brought him to us as a kitten. She was leader of the local Animal Rights organization, and frequently came to us with small kittens in her hand, telling us that if we didn't take care of it, they had to kill it. So of course we have had a lot of cats :)

"The Cat and the Mosquito"... Almost a novel title... :-) Great shot ! :-)

Some cats are really self conscious... :-)

Or "Ma gueule", a weird name for a cat when you have to call him... :-) It's my second daughter's cat and he's a bit like the Abyssinian, a bird chaser when he's in the countryside !
He fathered kittens with Cacahuète that were all given to friends and family. But those I don't have to sit or keep :-)

Nice dogs but a big house I guess ?
