What's with the Cats?

Los Gatos is Spanish for "The Cats".

And, of course a rug shop owner in Los Gatos has to have cats!!!

The animated cat has been running on our web site for many years. The original series of photographs were made in the 1800's by Eadweard Muybridge for his series of animal locomotion. Muybridge is considered to be the father of the motion picture.
