The members of this small community all seemed to know one another really well. It must be something to do with their isolation, I concluded. However, I also knew all about them too because I followed the Blipfoto journals of a couple. I was hoping to see the two cats that looked like pandas and photograph them myself.

I started by taking photos of the children playing on my Blackberry. Although the pictures were very good, I knew that I couldn’t use them unless I had permission of the parents – and they were not around.

Then the panda cats were brought into the playground on a lead. They looked more like dogs with missing ears than cats – but were very pretty nonetheless.
