Mine had me trained in two days.”

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

The Naming Of Cats

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

Loved this, yorkie....so sweet!

Tennessee lost or lets say, they gave it away with their errors! First time Kentucky has beaten Tennessee since l984 and it means we will not get a bowl game.

I hadn’t expected a lot from Tennessee this year with a new coach and a lot of new players but we should have pulled this one out! I am not a happy camper here!

I swear to you that game was 3-0 (Kentucky) until the 4th quarter. Never witnessed such a game.

[jaycee]

Thank you for the great devotion today, Mayor. I need to read it again after that ballgame....LOL!

It means that Conor's Cat
Dropped his snow cone on ya, silly boy!

Happy Caturday, Conor!

[jaycee]

I know, Pam, I think none of us can understand this situation. I have read all the posts and I am trying to say “we’ll understand it all, bye and by.” When I heard that on the news the night it happened, I was heartbroken!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good afternoon, Yorkie! Happy Caturday to you!

So cute! Thanks!

[jaycee]

I loved your beautiful graphic today and the quotes are awesome and SO TRUE!!

I’m glad your vacation went well and everyone enjoyed. They are over too quickly, aren’t they?

[jaycee]

Beautiful version of Amazing Grace and the video was so pretty!! I almost cry every time I listen to that song. It is so touching.

[jaycee]

;o).....You're something else, Weinie!!

[jaycee]

Crystal Gayle does a good job on that song. I’ve always thought she was so pretty but wonder how they wash that hair. I also wonder if its ever been caught in anything. I read where that was from a concert in Canada in 1982. Wonder if she’s still performing.

teeheehee...a wildcat you have there! LOL!
