They will probably do a dog before they do a cat, but the cat is in the worst shape of the major animals. (The rat is far worse as a model, but how many pictures feature rats?) I suspect that they are dog-lovers since they did a cartoon doggy named Duke, but not a cat. However, with either the cat or the dog, there are apt to be partisans. The horse wouldn't get the "cat vs dog as pet" contingent riled up, but we do have a selection of horses, and can make the basic Poser horse look almost ok. The charger and bloodsong's heavy horse are both pretty recent. In favor of the horse argument, however, is that it can be fitted with so many parts as to make many more separate characters than can either the dog or the cat... although the punster in me likes the idea of a catfish. :) Considering how long it is taking them, it almost HAS to be a millenium animal of some sort... and almost certainly of the multi-legged variety (a snake or dolphin or fish wouldn't have been this much trouble to get right). There is also a possibility of a monkey, except that I don't see much room for variety except in species. Carolly the Patient
