    When humans, as some humans are wont to do, attempt to “talk” with their feline friends by mimicking, in what they think is an appropriate cat voice, the word “meoooww”… do said cats understand what the human is saying? Or is the human saying “tree” in cat language when the…

    I want to write about my girls, but I also want to give a brief history of me and cats first, though. So I will write this in (at least) two posts, as I don’t think single post blogs that are pages and pages long are the norm. During my…

    I’ve decided to start another category, one that directly relates to my nom de plume, and part of the reason I set it up in the first place. Every moment I’m awake, my mind is constantly running (nope, meditation is not my bag). I’m always thinking about something, noticing something,…

    I returned to my home town to visit my parents for the Christmas Holiday. Snow was in the forecast, but when my flight landed at the airport the weather was only clear and cold. After the slow shuffle off the plane, like cattle being herded through a chute, I made…

    Harkening back to my second post upon my return to WordPress, which I ultimately deleted after an hour or two, I will state my opinion again here (as seen in the title above). It is well within my First Amendment Rights as a citizen of this country to criticize my…

    I really hesitate to use the word “Americans,” because technically Canadians and everyone south of the border of the USA are “Americans” as well (North Americans, Central Americans, and South Americans). However, in this case I’m going to use the word as it is commonly applied, to the bunch of…
