  3. Great cat post, I used to have a cat marked like Twinkie (white with spots) long ago, Floyd, he would lay on my pregnant belly and purr and purr. Of course my son adores cats.....

  4. So many people just don't realize how important cats are to maintaining order in the universe. Thank you for sharing your insights.

    (Of course, rabbits are also central to the universe's proper functioning. It really takes several species to overcome the effects of the humans.)

  5. Yes, the Usefulness of Cats. Truly important in maintaining order in the Universe. Second only to the Usefulness of Rabbits, FF, and you are correct in stating that other species are necessary to overcome the effects of humans.



    (but I have less luck in photographing mine--they seem to have some sort of perpetual motion thing going whenever I want to get pictures of them)
