A beautiful Christmas gato while we're on deadline. This elegant cat, Alvar, is particularly festive with bells & red ribbons. Photo via animalphotos. Photographer Marianne Perdomo's excellent flickr sets are full of cats & various non-feline related subjects. She lives on Gran Canaria, one of our very "most want to visit" places...it's a sign. We'll refrain from jokes about cats & canaries. We're pretty sure they've heard them.
