I confess I did briefly consider "Cat the Sequel", and "Cat Mark Two" for the feline newcomer that followed Mr. Cat's residency, but some well-meaning friend came to the rescue and insisted the kitten be called "Dusty".
Funny, I haven't had any problems coming up with names since (Barney, Finley, Winston, etc.,) but I do encounter a lot of people who wonder aloud why I would use "people names" for cats. Like they should all be named Mouser, or something, or it's just not right. :)

My Wabi-Sabi is wobbly. Early this morning it was 6.2, and it's now down to 5.3 and still jebbing. The four positive comments don't seem to have much influence on the numbers.
Congratulation, Jeffrey, on your BetterPhoto win. |

Okay, I don't have pets beyond my daughters' gerbils, but here's how I figure I look to them (you might want to sit back if you click the thumb):

How about a creative name? A very good friend of mine has both parents that are doctors. They had a cat that was hit by a car, and as a result had extensive work done. (including a new hip among other things) Even though it survived for many more years after that, it was never quite the same. It became affectionately known as FUBAR! Even his parents called her that, and they even knew what it meant. :)

Hey Courtney, can you loan Jeffrey your trimmers? (Courtney is a Pet Stylist) [kidding Jeffrey...but I doubt those Gerbils will be giving you any problems!]
Love that mohawk on Kiara...

"the hidden city", I can see a whole challenge full of pictures of street people. Any other ideas for what would qualify? (and yes, I know I am asking this question in the wrong place, we are TS after all... "where nobody knows your aim", hmm, I like that one. maybe I will use it for a tag line)

The Library - since the advent of the electronic age, does anyone even know what one is these days? The subway - well, hidden from plain view, anyway. The theater - see above about library. Not the movie house, the theater (or theatre if you prefer). The City Water Department (or Sewer Department). The parking lot behind the police station. A corner of a park, where one can see both the park and the city. Back alleys where the workers hang out behind restaurants.
I wish I were in a city, or near one, or could get off post and go find one! Sigh.... Happy shooting to those of you within reach! |

Of the poems I have found so far, this is by far the strangest, the most off-the-wall, and thus the most appealing to me, especially inasmuch as I grow rosemary and cook a lot of lamb :-)
But why is it considered to be a "breach of Corinthian principles"?

Took a while to get back to this, sorry. It's because I'm a poet, which smacks of professionalism, dunnit? |

pet names...
working backwards - the beast has a name, but if i told you i'd have to kill you. he will answer to beast, though.
in botswana we had a cat called Mumps. mumps was the offspring of pestilence. a friend had a cat that kept on having kittens. the day before her vet appointment, she'd disappear and come back pregnant. anyway, we also had a friend who had recently become a born again christian, and he was being very, very annoying aobut it. so, to annoy him back, my friend decided to name the new litter of four kittens after something biblical. however,t here was a female, so the gospels were out. he lit upon the four horsemen of the apocalypse. the female was pestilence. thereafter, all HER offspring had disease names: rabies, measles, rubella (those two were almost identical), etc. etc. so, ours was mumps.
before that there were the dogs - letimela (means stray in setswana), wierdo, chloe, ben (died very early of parvo, litter sibling of the beast), and the nameless starving puppy who wandered into our yard and died after a week of desperate care. we had a little dog graveyard going in botswana.
dog and cat names before botswana weren't nearly so exciting. hamish, dougal and tarquin fot he dogs, charlie and sophi for cats.
must go take child to school...

Oh cruel fate. It seems yer back though, so here's your second welcome...
I think it was just a slip of one of those things that slips, or else it may have been something to do with 8 members to a team, but no one expects novices to know how to count. |

That is a stunning poem. Who is Robert the Bruce? Your nom de plume, Raish?
And when were you in Botswana, Christian? |

| Christian, the pet names story made me laugh out loud. I may have to pick up on the disease thing next go 'round, since my current crop have such immaginative names as "Emma" and "Thomas". Though Thomas' full name is Sir Thomas the Terrible, the Holy Terror Cat From Hell. Emma, on the other hand, was Emily when I got her from the shelter. |
