Here be dragons.
I was watching the episodes of Snow Leopards of Leafy London, about the National Cat Trust, with Dr. Terry Moore in the UK. Although its great to see someone taking in cats who have no where else to go. In the end, they are living in captivity for however long they live. Not able to have space, hunt, and live a feral life.… Read the rest
Fast food restaurants should begin serving happy meals for pets.
People seem to be having less human children and more pets. Some call themselves their pet’s parent. (I have never called myself the parent of an animal). People seem to need to keep their pets with them and bring them in the car. So, why don’t fast food restaurants have a happy meal for cats, another for dogs, one for assorted other pets like snakes, gerbils, rats, etc.… Read the rest
Attack kittens. I gave my nephew a shirt with a kitten like a fire breathing dragon attacking a city.
I found these as shirts at Amazon. Little monster kittens like King Kong and the Kracken.
The Mountain Krakitten Adult T-Shirt, Grey, Small
The Mountain Men’s King Kitten, Gray, Small
Fun, but not very affordable. Why are so many things printed on T-shirts.… Read the rest
What makes people think dragons aren’t friendly? This one certainly seems to be the friendliest of the bunch. Found at Emily McGaughey’s Etsy shop. She makes a lot of cats but I did find this happy dragon.
The other mythical beasts (as Emily calls them) are a phoenix and a griffin.
Good dragon, Emily.

The following is cut and pasted from an abandoned site, on Tripod. I would have reposted more newsletters, but I only found two.

This is an old poll I created when I used to write for a network called BackWash. Still a good question to think about.
If you had to give up or lose one of your senses, including common sense and the possibility of a sixth sense or the other standard: hearing, smell, taste, sight or touch, which would you pick?… Read the rest

If you’re young and hip, this is still interesting.
NOW THIS IS A REAL EDUCATION
Us older people need to learn something new every day…
Just to keep the grey matter tuned up.
Where did “Piss Poor” come from? Interesting history.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot.
Today is Y on the A- Z Blogging Challenge. A lot of words begin with Y. But for some reason I thought of ‘yowl’. That sound a cat makes when it wants to get noticed.
What other words can you think of for sounds cats make? Skip the easy ones like meow and purring. If you were going to write a story with an animal as a sidekick what animal would it be?… Read the rest
