MILWAUKEE - Emily the cat is back — after flying home in the lap of luxury. The curious cat who wound up traveling to France in a cargo container touched down at the Milwaukee airport on Thursday, greeted by her family and a horde of reporters. A Continental cargo agent handed her over to 9-year-old Nick Herndon, son of the cat's owners, Donny and Lesley McElhiney. Emily meowed and pawed at reporters' microphones as the family answered questions. "She'll be held onto a lot all the way home. And then when we get home, too, she'll be cuddled a lot,"...

Too many topics to choose from and not enough time to make good choices. Therefore, let’s use a friendly reminder that for most of us, tomorrow is election day. Assuming that there are elections occurring in your precinct, get out and vote. If there aren’t any elections in your precinct, find one that has elections and vote there (hey, democrats do that).

BOO !! Milky Way !! MINE !!! Back, back, all of you back !!! Like My Costume ?? Trick or (hiccup) treats. Forget treats. Pass the booze !!.

Furry housepets—especially felines—have long been blamed for allergies and breathing problems in people. But now researchers at an animal hospital in Scotland say the discomfort can also work the other way around: Humans can trigger asthma attacks in cats. Cigarette smoke, human dandruff, household dust, and certain types of litter create inflammation in cats' airways and worsen asthma, the veterinarians say. Feline asthma is a common disease, with about 1 in 200 cats suffering from the condition. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Cats between the ages of one and five are most likely to develop asthma. Asian...

Another October, another beating for long standing baseball curses. Last year it was the Bambino. This year it is Shoeless Joe (at least the part involving either Chicago team winning a pennant). Meanwhile, the Houston Astros are one game away from clinching the N.L. Pennant (and ending another baseball curse, this one un-named). In honor of departing baseball curses, all black cats this week. Post – Or I Curse Your Football Team Psst. That curse of E-Rod, or is it A-Rod? Whatever. Not done with that one yet.The Hillary Curse? We intend to keep that one for a long time.

A cat in Dobson, N.C., is believed to be the only cat in the world with two tongues, according to a Local 6 News report. The cat, named Five Toes, was born with two tongues andfive toes on each paw. Owner Bill Whittington told a North Carolina TV stationthat he noticed the cat's second tongue in December.He said he yelled when he saw the tongues flicker. He also said people laugh when he tells them about the cat -- until they see the tongues. Whittington said Ripley's Believe It Or Not will feature Five Toes in its 2006 guide.

Thread is on time this week (well, at least closer to on-time that recent performance). Still chaos at work, and tropical storm Rita (heading toward Texas) will likely not help matters. I did get a chance to watch a little football. Based on the early performances, this season is another crazy one. SEC Fans – Watch Out. Vanderbilt is 3-0 and 2-0 against the SEC West. How ‘Bout Dem Cowboys ? Notre Dame lost. Time for a higher calling for football coach. Loyal NFL Sunday Ticket Customer. All Games Covered.

Kitty thread is late, but better late than no thread this week. Swamped at work trying to meet deadlines. Only problem is that the deadline dates have passed before the project got started. In honor of office chaos, on with the kitty pictures. Hey slave (oops, cat owner) – here is another deadline you missed. Engineering changes? – What is this a bank? – No more stinking changes. Can’t take work home. This is what happens. New eye protection at job site.

In light of the recent events in New Orleans etc. It is interesting to note that over a hundred fifty years ago the American prophet Joseph Smith prophesied that the day would come when the US government would waste itself waging war in foreign lands while at home the nation would collapse with natural disasters and internal amarchy and chaos as a direct result of the wickedness of the US people and the nations rejection of the God of this land, Jesus Christ. Coincedence? A lucky guess?

No kitty caption last week. Once I returned from the Crawford rally, all attention was on hurricane Katrina and the immediate aftermath. I don’t even have a good theme for this week, so let’s see what has been posted on FR recently. Itty, Bitty, Kitty.

No specific topic this week. Just a few things I learned over the past week. Mayor Richard J. Daley (Chicago) was a Republican. Just long enough to be first elected to political office. Excerpt from wikipedia. Born near Chicago's south side stockyards in 1902, Daley was the only child of blue-collar Irish-Catholic parents. After attending Catholic schools (where he learned clerical skills) and night school at DePaul University (where he earned a law degree in 1933), Daley spent virtually his entire adult life in city politics. Although Daley was always a Democrat, he was first elected to the Illinois legislature...

Vacation time is over. Back to the normal routine. I did meet two freepers for the first time on the trip to Las Vegas (both living on the west coast). Chick magnets we are not; but since I was able to leave with some extra cash, I qualify as “chip magnet”. I won playing the “darkside (don’t pass/don’t come) on the craps table at Casino Royale. Seven Out !!! Line Away, Don’t We Pay !!! -- Play The Darkside. Now this is a “chick magnet”. Something for the Houston people. Astros lead the NL wild card race and they are...

More than 100 cats have been seized from a woman's home in Duluth's West Duluth neighborhood. The Duluth Animal Control and Animal Allies are asking for the public's help in finding homes for the cats. There are too many to be housed at the local animal shelter. People can adopt the cats or be foster owners until space becomes available at the shelter. Authorities say the cats seemed to be OK and had enough food and water. The woman living with the cats was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Authorities seized the cats after a complaint by the...

Thursday, August 4, 2005 'Pot' bust yields catnip By CHUIN-WEI YAP Staff Writer Copyright © 2005 Blethen Maine Newspapers Inc. E-mail this story to a friend WATERVILLE -- A cat somewhere might be in trouble with the law. Police officers thought they had found a marijuana haul grown indoors -- but when they searched a Silver Street apartment Tuesday morning, all they caught was catnip. Catnip is an herb of the mint family. Scientists say it provokes a "high" for cats -- but not humans. Police went to Stefanie Glidden's apartment above Silver Street Tavern at 9:15 a.m., convinced that...
