whatzit...
(the kitty)
The
first few people who sent me pictures thanked me sincerely for the"cute
kitty."
From there, people got increasingly fuzzy about what this was. About half would
not
commit
to a guess, saying they couldn't tell what it was. A couple
people thought
it was a dog (it does sorta look like a stripey pekinese).
For me it was a surprise lesson about
the limits of abstract simplification and
inadvertently playing
with people's expectations. (He's still just a "cute kitty" to
me...!)
The
first finisher to e-mail me was Michelle Ownbey.
Other
finishers who let me know, in order, include:
Pat Miller,
Denham Springs, Louisiana
Marjorie Keller, Strasburg, North Dakota
Lana Frazier, Morrison, Oklahoma
Birdie in Maryland
Candace Weisner, Colchester, United Kingdom
Julie Waldman
Joyce Steier, Maryland
Mary Schneckenburger, New Hampshire
Renate Coster, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Kathy and Julie, Washington
Judy Larson, Warroad, Minnesota
Hannah Wilde
Marie-Francoise Marchand-Marrec, France
Lori Lutzow, Antiguo, Wisconsin
Inge Schroten, Alpen aan den Rijn, Netherlands
and lots of others who
did not officially weigh-in...
