Not sure who said it, but there's a joke around that the real reason the web was developed was to give people a way to email and post photos of their cat. I'm not big on pet photos -- even ones of my family dog I usually put in the "snapshot" pile. But there's a really nice set of photos of cats and dogs taken by someone who works at a shelter on Flickr that's worth a look. It reminds me of some of the work of better photojournalists when shooting portraits.
