Cat Blog Friday: Hello Kzinti

Cube usually has a Cat Blog Friday blog post entry. I haven't participated before, but have decided to this time. This is a favorite illustration of a Kzin, one of the warrior cats of Larry Niven's science fiction, and also "Star Trek". I like this one because it shows the ferocity, and other illustrations make the Kzinti too cuddly or ponderous. Or they make them look exactly like tigers. Tiger with space helmets: not very original. This illustration is found on the front cover of the "Guide to Ringworld" book.

Where are his earrings? That's a big deal to the kzinti! I was happy to see this pop up. Good choice for Cat Blog Friday.

This is not the tiger we're seeing across the rest of the Internet.
