For her birthday 2 weeks ago, Clansi was given a kitten by her parents and brothers. Last night we picked him up from Sydney and brought him home to live with us. His name is Corbett, and he is a Bengal Cat.
The Bengal breed has been derived from crossing the wild Asian Leopard Cat with domestic cats, and has a characteristic spotted coat. We chose the name “Corbett” in honour of Jim Corbett, a British hunter of man-eating tigers and leopards in India. Corbett was also a conservationist and one of the first to raise alarm about the declining numbers of jungle cats.
Our Corbett is a solid little boy with spectacular markings and a fierce curiosity about the world around him. He’s still fuzzy and a bit uncoordinated, but incredibly cute.
I like this post. and your painted eggs are awesome! maybe when Jasper is...

What is it they say about a kitten being a surrogate child? Cue the Lolcats pics.

These photos were all taken on my Nikon D70, with a Nikkor AF-S 18-70 ED lens. Its a bit old, by today’s standards, but still takes very satisfactory pictures.
By the way, it was great to catch up with you on the weekend. Your Canon seemed to be a nice toy too, I’d love to see some of the images it captures.
