I like like the larger, more rounded cigar shape, but the cats are a no-go for me.

Thank you. Very helpful comparison with the 491. That was the question I had. Perhaps the traditional clip version will solve some of the issues you identify. Personally, I'd like to see a clipless version.

Happy to see there is some kind of post holding the cat on, I feared just glue would not hold up over time. I should be getting my 486 in the galaxy acrylic any day now. I really like this shape of pen, and I wish they'd offer these sans cat. The Namisu Horizon which they now offer in both ebonite and titanium (I've one in each and while they are 6x - 8x the price, they're great pens. I especially like the titanium in the "stonewashed" finish they offered for s brief period.) Ensso Piuma is another similar shape but only in titanium as far as I know and their matte finish on the titanium, I think they call it "sandblasted" and it is also nice. I thought I remembered you reviewing one of those pens (maybe it was the first Namisu model from several years ago). Another great review, Chris. Thanks for taking the time to make such thoughtful reviews.

I really like the size and shape of this pen, however, as much as I like cats, I would like to see a version without the cat or a least a removable version of it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Chris . I Think the pen itself being a little more chunky than other models is ok and the materials are nice but for me the cat i really don't like , they would of been better fitting a clip i think . I love cats but i think if the cat was smaller and more detailed even removable it might work but for me it just ruins the pen and makes it look cheap. If people like it that's fine but for me it does not work .

480 is about perfect, but I was hoping for a girthier version. 486 was it, but that cat cap is a bummer ... what were they thinking?

I was glad to see you put the cat down. I assume the weighting was intentional, so the cat would stop the rolling.

The metal cat is heavy in relation to the pen & changes balance. If the cat had less weight & the cap posted, I would like the design better.

As always, I appreciate the detail and many personal observations you make in your reviews. They are always interesting and useful. I am not a penbbs person, but this one is very attractive to me - except for the cat. I am a cat person, but this cat design seems a bit juvenile to me. It doesn't seem to fit with the more serious aesthetics of the rest of the pen. Unfortunately, it's a deal-breaker for me, so I still don't own a PenBBS pen.

I like everything about this pen but the rollstop, which I find ugly and far too big. With a small plain rollstop or none at all, I'd probably grab one of these.

Did you eyedropper the moon river model during the writing sample? I'm interested in this finish and curious how transparent it is

Never ED. I usually use an LED to examine transparency. I may not have used one here. I expect you'll see dark ink if you ED.

@@chrisrap52 good to know! You did use the LED, and mentioned it would be nice to eyedrop. Just couldn't see the ink level during the writing sample, so this makes sense.

I think this design would have held some interest if PENBBS had just let the cat be a slip-on cat, so I could have taken it off.. I know this goes against current culture, but I think it makes the pen gaudy. I like the snake, could even see a dragon because of the myths associated with dragons in both East and West (while differing). Even those are best if slip-on/off clips. I guess your comparison reminds me I can just buy another PENBBS in the same resin.

Indeed, I also find the cat a bit too much. This outspoken roll-stop will evoke either a hate- or love-it response with little room in-between. I do like the minimalist zeppelin shape - would probably buy it if the cat can be removed without any damage to the pen, which I now understand is not the case.
