Fluff n' Stuff..

Given the current economic crisis,I've decided the only prudent thing to do is to bring to a screaming halt all of this political ranting,suspend any debates on peripheral concerns,and concentrate on the pressing issue that confronts us here,on the home front.
Specifically,..finding a new cat!

I put my lovely assistant,Mom O' LK,on the job.
Here she is,scouring the interwebs for a viable candidate..


She was able to tackle the problem on two fronts.
Not only did she discover,after only one interview,the fine feline fellow pictured below at our local animal rescue facility,but she was indeed inspired to give Cat-With-No-Name,..well,..a name,..in her efforts to combine his previously scheduled nueterization,with this fortunate adoption!

Cat-With-No-Name,for the purposes of properly labeling any extraneous body parts that might become bottled up,and put on display for future generations to admire,has been given the moniker,Bailey!
Or Baylee,..or Beighleigh,..it's still to be decided.

In any case,we welcome the newest edition to our little homestead!
..he doesn't have a name yet.


***In Totally Unrelated News!***

This heads -up penny has been sitting on the entry way floor for almost two weeks!..None of us want to pick it up,for fear that it belongs to some one else.
..a testament to our fine character!


..I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out...

mom- Ha!..I knew I made that whole thing about as clear as mud.
Bailey is our young Siamese cat,not pictured.
The cat in the photo is our new cat,yet unnamed...He does resemble Gizzy,our other cat,also not pictured.
..great..now I'm confused!

Oh what a lovely new addition. I've been wanting a cat of my own but it turns out all the neighborhood cats have decided they are mine. They just casually come in and take naps..I get to rub their heads and the neighbor has to feed them. I can't really complain.

The name Rhubarb is still up for grabs! (Yeah, I know I'm pushing it, but it's such a great cat name)

Also have you considered urathaning the penny to the floor. Then no matter what, you'll never be completely broke.

He looks like Opus, my youngest cat. I have two cats that you can have if you pay for the FedEx.

oh I miss having a cat. When I was in college, my cat was Bailey. She is in cat heaven now. How did granny lose her penny on your floor??

So, is that the new cat or the old cat? Does it have a name or no name? Is it a real cat or a stuffed toy? Are you sling or slung? I'm confused too. The animal in the picture real or not looks like my Fuzz.....and Emma Lee and Guido. may i suggest an Italian name? Luigi is nice. How about Franco, Armani, or Gato???? umm, that might be Spanish.

Aww, what a cute cat! :)

That penny is good luck--but only if you pick it up! *smiles*

By the way, I don't know why, but when I saw the pic of the cat, I immediately thought the name "Snoop."

I have no idea why, but whatever. :)

Yellerdawg- It can't be your penny..I have never known you not to give your TWO cents worth. ;)

Sage- Hey!..That's sorta the deal I have.MOLK does all the work,and I get to pet 'em and stuff.

Evil G- I think we'll just let it lay.
In these perilous times,it's a good idea to keep our assets liquid.

allan- Opus is a great name!
Come to think of it FedEx isn't a bad name either.

Lost- I think the penny fell outta Yellerdawg's bra..

Rosie- The pic is of the new cat,which has yet to be named.
Yep,he's real..
I am Slang.
..I like the idea of an Italian name.
How 'bout Rocky?

MHP- hmmm..Snoop Cat.
You guys all come up with great names!
The penny situation may have escalated into a battle of wills.

Pretty boy! I still like Fido for a cat.

My ex, who was a verterinarian, swears that black and white cats are the friendliest. Good luck settliing on the final name for Bailey/Baylee/Beighleigh.

(And go ahead - pick up the penny. You know you want to and its good luck is going to waste.)

Too bad it's a boy, you coulda named it Magnolia and called her- Yes -Maggie the Cat, dreadful I know, I am a sick woman.. Don't laugh, that was my favorite kitty that ever owned me, with Elvis the cat as second runner up.

I know we're not suppose to be getting political here but PICK UP THE PENNY - you may need it! If for nothing else cat food.

Welcome to the cat! Perhaps the cat will pick up the penny for you - it would make a nice "welcome to our house" gift, after all.

i still like the name dude...but evilgnome is right rhubarb is a great name..you need to read the book rhubarb by h. allan smith..and see what we like the name so much..

Bailey, huh? Yeah, I guess it'll do. Does he still climb screen doors? Maybe he's the one who dropped the penny.

As for the new no name cat, he seems to have entered into life at Sling's domain quite spectacularly well.

"Won't you come home Bill Bailey, won't you come home?

Yes Bailey is good...pleased to see...homes need pets as much as pets need homes. Give him a big ruffley pat from me okay.

Honest people you all are...or is it stuck to the floor with tarzan's grip
