All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome


"All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome" takes a playful look at Asperger Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration from the feline world in a way that will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS.

Delightful color photographs of cats bring to life familiar characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign of being stroked and particular eating habits.

Touching, humorous and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and joys of raising a child who is different and leaves the reader with a sense of the dignity, individuality and potential of people with AS.

This engaging book is an ideal, gentle introduction to the world of AS.

Reviews:
A heart-warming and encouraging book and ideal for anybody who cares for an Asperger child.
-- National Child-minding Association, UK

An absolutely charming book!...A PERFECT way to introduce Asperger Syndrome to classmates, neighbors, friends, helpers, and the community.
-- Susan J. Moreno, M.A., MAAP Services for Autism and Asperger Syndrome

Highlights the unique qualities of individuals with Asperger's and has us 'down to a T.'
-- Wendy Lawson, author of many books on the autism spectrum

If you have just begun to discover why someone with Asperser's is different, this book will inform and entertain you.
-- Tony Attwood, author of Asperger's Syndrome and The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome

Unusual cats: White cat


My brother's neighbours have a very unusual white cat: unusual because it is white, has a green and blue eye, is stone deaf and despite looking calm and pleasant, is a bad-tempered little bastard.

Leo - Dirt Nap


No, it's not like that.... He's just napping. On dirt... As you can see, some parts of our garden are not doing well, for obvious reasons. It's ok, most of the things that we really care about that haven't been killed by Leo (how I miss you, peas) are outside... =D

Strobist Info: Sb-600 at the end of a SC-17, above the kitten, on the next wire shelf up...

How to take good pictures of cats


Name: Aurelia (2)

Camera: Nikon D40
Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 360

This is a perfect example of why cat photography makes it so interesting and worth the time. Personally I love the window on its left and the blurred couch on its right. It makes me very much think of people's portraits. In fact when you notice a certain scene in your house or garden, try to get the cat there and you can get great results.

Here you see the curious look in her eyes, after I silently aimed the lens in front of her. For cat photography I will most preferebly use the NIKON AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 lens. Why I use f1.8 lens? Simply because you then have a great range of DOF to choose from, which can get your picture very intimate.

One very important tip: when shooting cats it's very good to shoot the picture at the proper height. Prefferably at the cat's height (of course depending on what pictures you like). But this way you will get very intimate portraits.

Cat stroller

I saw some strollers in the pet store today. I really can not imagine seeing my cats inside one of those. Much less me walking down the street with my cats inside a stroller...

I tried with a leash once, but they were really not intrigued by that. And of course they got tangled up in everything they saw. I gave up after a few tries, so now they come and go as they like and we all have lived happily so far.
