IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Someone left the birdcage open, and now the parakeet is missing. Meanwhile,
Allegro the cat is looking a little sleepy. And is that a feather in his
mouth?

Do cats like fast food?  Yes, as long as it's not faster than they are!


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I started with a cat model that I found somewhere on the 'net.  It wasn't very
good, but I was able to modify it to suit my needs.

The feather model is based on work by Nate Ryan. I used a version of his script
to get the feather barbs.
