Artistic people seem to be drawn to artistic pets and Dustin Ferguson seems to be one of them. When you see Dustin’s unique kitty you will definitely get what I’m saying. Dustin, originally from Dodge City, KS but now resides in Murrieta, California, has owned and operated several film dis- tribution and production companies since 2007 and currently owns So Cal Cinema Studios. they follow you around everywhere you go, love to play fetch, understand basic words and phrases and can be trained to do a lot of other interesting things like using and flushing a toilet as well as turning on or shutting off lights. I really wanted a Bengal because I felt it was the closest to a Cheetah or Tiger I could feasibly get and keep in a domestic environment. How- ever, at the time I was living in Nebraska, where you weren’t allowed to breed them. So, after some extensive online research, I found a breeder in Iowa and was able to rescue her from there. I say “rescue” because at the tender age of 12 months old they were breeding her in unsanitary conditions and she was giving birth to still borns. They ended up spaying her and trying to get rid of her so I found her right in time. They had named her “Rotten,” so I renamed her the more suitable and exot- ic-sounding “Safari.” DUSTIN FERGUSON & SAFARI
Known for producing, directing and editing sequels and remakes of the horror films of yesteryear, namely “Sleepaway Camp IV: The Survivor,” “Camp Blood 4 and 5,” “Nemesis 5,” and “Ghosthouse!” In the last several years he’s directed nearly 80 music videos for such artists as “Lords of Acid,” “The Egyp- tian Lover,” “My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult” and a viral video for German-outfit “KMFDM.” He’s been published in Fangoria, Rue Morgue, Horror Hound, CVH 1st Class and Art Move Magazine. Dustin is also a “Rapper” and goes by the alias “Dirty D.” I recently met Dustin at The LANFA Awards where his film “Nemesis 5” took home four awards. Although, I think his most valuable and precious award is in a sleek leopard print coat named Safari who even has her own Instagram page! So Very LA! DD: Have you always been a Cat person? DF: Well Daniel, I have to say my love for the felines goes back to my earliest childhood memories. We had two cats growing up, “Cozmo” who was a female Calico breed and “Jazz” who was a male Bermese breed. “Cozmo” only lived part-way through my earlier life, but I had “Jazz” until my 21st Birthday. I got a black and white cat named “Kitty Kitty” a couple of years later in my early 20’s who passed away recently, and now I have my beautiful “Safari,” whom I’ve cared for over the last 4 years. While I like both cats and dogs, I find cats to be more personable, yet reserved, like me. DD: How did you get your beautiful cat Safari and what kind of breed is she? DF: “Safari” is a Bengal cat. Bengals are a modern kind of cat, officially recognized as a breed in 2001. They are a cross- breed of the wild Asian Leopard cat and a domestic Siamese cat. Typically, Bengals are “wild” acting by nature and need lots of extra attention and exercise. They also have strong person- alities and are statistically more intelligent than most of their domestic cousins. Their basic personality is more like a dog:
