Many thanks to Carlo Porrini for linking me to Taxonomy of domestic fauna, 

a charming series of etchings by Colombian artist Marcela Cardenas.

Besides loving animals, I also own a small collection of animal-shaped objects

and, as you may have noticed, have a natural tendency to create arbitrary

classifications, so Marcela's work is right up my alley.
