Cartoonize My Pet

Have some fun and create a cartoon character of your cat. At this opportune time, with Christmas 2010 fast approaching, I would like to introduce to visitors a website that was brought to my attention by its creator, Fran.
It is called
CARTOONIZE MY PET.com (new window) and I like it.
You make a cartoon of your pet online and then you can order a product which features the cartoon.
It is really simple (and fun) to use because rather than draw the cartoon and make a mess of it you modify certain features and build up a cartoonized mirror image of your pet, in this case my 18 year old cat Binnie:
My lady cat has a very short tail but not a bobtail so I used a tail feature that is short. There is only one thing that is a bit wrong (a testament to how right the cartoonizing process is), which that the white fur on her chin starts below her mouth. A certain amount of skill is required plus a good look at your cat to remind yourself of his or her exact features.
Apparently Fran used PoC to design her cartoon characteristics. Fran is working on a video that is a cartoonized version of one I made called
77 cat breeds in 4 and a half minutes (opens in a new window). I look forward to seeing it.
There is a very wide range of products that can be ordered that feature your pet, which include, clothes, key chains, business cards, mouse pads etc..
Have a happy Christmas!
Best
