Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005Bad Booty!
Caught a pic of Bootsie, the anti-gravity bird-stalker and wanted to share it. (Disclaimer: No birds were harmed either before or after the photo was taken. No birds have ever actually been harmed by Boots. She tries though) http://members.aol.com/ldriddles/bootytree.jpg Sherry Arrrgh.

If I may intrude: it _does_ get better, but only very slowly, I'm afraid. It was only the other day that I noticed for the first time that my initial thought on waking wasn't about Pericles, gone nearly 8 months. I think one just has to take as much comfort as possible from the youngsters to help. Purrs Gordon & the FF [snips] >Awww, she reminds me so much of Nikki.

It has been almost two years since Presto left us, and I sometimes still cry for the loss. But the joy of all my memories, and the happiness of having Little Feet, Dulce Mae and Buster helps.

Certain things will always remind you. But you will get to where you smile when you remember. Do you dream about her? I always feel like those kind of dreams are a kind of a special gift. After the part where you wake up sad cause it was only a dream. Jo > Do you dream about her? I always feel like those kind of dreams are a kind > of a special gift.

I still rmemember them (he died in 1988). SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I made a mistake typing the link. >> > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >Sherry There is a tree in Centennial Park, in Nashville, Tennessee, that has three bumps and a curved scar that make a sort of lopsided face. The scar appears to be from natural causes, not someone's having carved it into the tree. One of the doors in my church has a pattern in the wood grain that looks like a devil's face, given that the "smile" is more of a leer. There is a human tendency to see faces in anything that even slightly resembles a face, such as American-style electric outlets (see a slightly-touched-up example at http://www.acclaimimages.com/_gallery/_pages/0015-0503-1514-1234.html).

We've worked so hard to get rid of it around here. It will kill the trees eventually. Rhonda > Well, yeah, it really does. I've tried to get English Ivy to grow up > and make a beard.

Somebody told me it wasn't parasitic, like mistletoe, it just clung to the tree. But I'm not an expert for sure. But then it wouldn't be a crime to kill the tree either. It's one of those damned Tree of Heavens. Talk about invasive. It's even illegal to plant them in some urban areas. Sherry >>Oh, English ivy! We've worked so hard to get rid of it around here.

I know our neighbors lost a plum tree to it, and ending up hiring teenage boys to chop all the ivy out of their woods. Probably a nursery would know if keeping it trimmed will be okay with the tree. Love that tree-face, by the way. Rhonda On Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:29:04 -0700, sriddles wrote: >> Oh, English ivy! We've worked so hard to get rid of it around here.

That's one of the things I noticed in that pic too! Cool looking, actually. Almost like it's the knots making parts of it. I like it! SignatureCheryl > Arrrgh.

That was a beautiful shot of Bootsie. I didn't stop to wonder before how she manages to get down from the tree, but now I know! |
