Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 45 image entries Contest Directions: "By now you've probably heard of the black Persian cat Sebastian which looks like a bulldog due to its bottom teeth sticking out in an underbite - its pictures have been making the rounds on the net. Well, few people know that the cat is actually owned by a dentist (why am I not surprised?) who has given Sebastian gold crowns to strengthen his bottom teeth. The dentist said the cat was upset with its new look and didn't 'speak' to him for two days. Well, I'd be upset too, if one day I woke up looking like a bling-bling bulldog, when God originally created me as somebody else. And if you want a dog for a pet, get a dog, and don't buy a cute cat so that you can turn it into a mean looking bulldog by dental and plastic surgeries. I can understand though that a bulldog looking cat can be handy as it keeps a house safe and yet it does not eat as much. However, when was the last time you saw a starving dentist, who can't afford to keep a dog?
In this contest, let us warn all pet owners and show what these cat-dog pets may look like. So basically take a cat and give it dog features, or vise versa. The "face" of your pet has to contain features of both a cat and a dog, but there are no restrictions on the rest of the body.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
This particular cat -- a cool cat, perhaps -- apparently is ready to trade in his beloved catnip for some bling-bling. The cat, Sebastian, is a one year old Persian with long black hair. The cat also now has gold crowns on his bottom canines which have grown out in a way that resembles the teeth of a bulldog. The cat's owner is dentist David Steele. He said that he gave the cat the gold crowns to help strengthen his teeth. Steele was worried the teeth might break off or cause the cat some other types of problems if they were not reinforced. He did note that the cat now gets a good deal of attention. Some might suggest that he looks a bit like a hip-hop singer's guard cat with his two protruding gold teeth. Steele did note that the cat was upset and did not 'speak' to him for a couple of days after the teeth work was completed.
My cat's always looking to the sky with its eyes, smelling the fragance of life with its dog nose and hearing me laugh with its dog ears.
