Dishfunctional Designs: Meet Sam: The Most Photogenic Cat In the World

I love my cat. I think the camera loves him too.

It started out innocently enough. My cat, Sam, found his way into this old basket that I keep in my workshop. Cats like baskets the same way that they like cardboard boxes. Once they find them and step inside and sit down, they own them. Why call it a Jack in the box when we all know it should really be called a cat in a the box? Really.

Sam found the basket, tousled a few things around inside to make himself some room, and there he sat.

Sam always looks great in photos. I think it's because he has that stare. For a long time we joked and said he had a staring problem. Whenever I took a photo of something he seemed to be there, at least somewhere in the background, staring back.
