My pictures of the abyssinians and somalis at the St Malo cat show, march 2007

From the glass walls of the "Palais du Grand Large", we could have a glimpse of this horse on the beach... ...Travelling dreams...

This page will enable you to look at the 14 abyssinians et at the 12 somalis
who were the actors in this special aby/som meeting
(to see an enlarged picture of a cat in another window, just click on the thumbnail).
