Finnaly...my Holstein kitty pic.

[Ed Carlson]

This was one gorgeous kitty. Jet black and whiter then snow, very Kewl! I caught and released it up on the Canadian end in May at the catfish opener. A healthy cat just a unique critter in the world of Kitty's. I have never seen a channel cat with such striking coloration.

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Nice photo Ed.
And thanks for the tip about the no-rolls the other day.

Cool fish, Ed. Maybe he'll come back when he's in Sumo-Hood for a bit of Bovine rodeo.

I'd say there's two pretty unique looking creatures in that picture
(sorry Ed, I figured you'd say it if I didn't.)
Very cool kitty. I've got some with some odd colorations, but not that unique.

It's a dalmation kitty.

Kewl indeed!

SERIOUSLY! It was THIS big!

I am not sure if my scanner did that picture justice?

My Ol monitor is getting weak too so pictures appear darker then they should be to me. I need to look at it from a solid monitor to see if it really shows it's colors properly I guess?

I have been looking at a new wide screen monitor Hi-Def crystal to replace this old junker....kinda spendy...but very cool. Any recommendations on a replacement monitor or flat screen LCD's?

How well did it scan? Does the pic look good or too dark or washed out?

I have a second pic of it that is a good shot too, I should try scanning it too and see how that pic posts.

Dark 30,
Very punny!

[nitewolf3008]

cool pic!! good thing it didn't have an udder or did it ? as for a moitor the flat screens are nice but they don't last as near as long as the tube types do and they cost 3 to 4 times as much.a 17in. flat your looking at $475 to $500 while a tube type around $150 to $170 and they last longer

Nice dalmation kitty cow. Ever seen any others like that?

[Ed Carlson]

Thanks for the tips on the monitors nitewolf3008. That is what I have been seeing as far as price too. I had not picked up on they do not hold up as long though, great tip.

And ..Nope..that is the only Kitty-Cow I have seen of any size. Just by the sheer numbers cats reproduce you see a wide variety of coloration..but that was a first for me. That photo really does not do it justice, it was really white and the black was like pure ink. It looked like it had been Tattooed in fact. Purdy Kewl Kitty!

Yepper that is an oddball for sure! Matt asked why is it colored that way, the fish is an example of color polymorphism in fishes known as heteromelanism. Hetoromelanic fishes display black pigment distributed irregularily on the body and/or fins. Somewhat common in certain species of fishes, and some are selectivley bred for the Tropical fish aquarium industry.

A bit of useless information from my days in the Ornamental fish wholesale industry!!!
