I don't know about the cats curled up on my bed (cats are often favorites of librarians and bookstores too, by the way), but the Poser cat is definitely alien. I have yet to figure out what creature they used as a model for that feline, but it was no cat I've had the fortune or misfortune to meet. I keep hoping the new content for Poser 5 will bring a more earthly looking animal to us. See, there's a way to bring this back to topic. Purrrr.
