Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Library Cat
I was visiting my local library this afternoon when I met a beautiful cat, he was a long haired oriental with stunning blue eyes. He was very friendly, giving lots of purrs and headbutts. The librarian thinks he lives next door to the library and says he often follows people in. With luck I'll be seeing him again, it was certainly a pleasant surprise.

If they're open to allowing a cat inside, they should adopt a library cat of their own. :) Katz >> I was visiting my local library this afternoon when I met a beautiful >> cat, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Katz Sounds like this one may have the best of both worlds. Jo > Sounds like this one may have the best of both worlds. Reminds me a lot of my "secret" cat (don't tell the Fabulous Furballs!). Where I work we have an unoffical huge black and white cat called depending on who you ask "Stamford," "Fred" or "Cat". Stamford apparently had kittens a few years ago through everyone refers to her as "him". She has a home somewhere around here but likes to spend her days in the grounds hunting for mice and frogs and getting petted by everyone and when its cold trying to sneak past the receptionist and sit in one of the comfy chairs in the warm. She isn't really allowed in here as its a hospital through early in the mornings I have seen her walking up the corridor like she owned the place. Several staff bring food in for her specially which since she has another home may explain why she's rather ample.

And cats just seem to belong in libraries and bookstores. -- CATherine > I was visiting my local library this afternoon when I met a > beautiful cat, he was a long haired oriental with stunning blue > eyes.

Hi Nina Yes, it is the Gorey shirt. I got it from the NPR catalog. But, sadly, they've given into a trend & changed the wording to "...Life is sweet." Another proofreader who reads obsessively, huh? :) Have you read Eats, Shoots & Leaves? I've just started it. I'm laughing out loud. It's a hoot! Katz >>> Aww, how nice.

I read everything I can get my hands on; this house has at least one bookcase per room... It looks like I'll be moving soon, and the thing I'm looking forward to most is that I'm going to have all my books in one room at last, no matter HOW many shelves it takes. A library of my very own! Heaven! A friend gave me the British version of ES&L, and I loved it. And another British friend gave me "Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary, or why can't anybody spell?" which is fascinating. (You can imagine how much it hurt to type that title exactly as it's written and not correct the typos!)

And > another British friend gave me "Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >I never read that one. And yes, I did a double-take at the sight of "Accomodating." I personally think that might be the most commonly misspelled word. Until I read ES&L I didn't know that some British punctuation is different from American. I'm glad I read the Preface & Foreword, or I would have been freaked by the "full stops" after the "inverted commas." LOL Oh! There's a secret to spelling "accommodating"! Decades ago, I was teaching at a boarding school in England. Spelling was a challenge to some of the girls, so I had a project for my class of 11-years olds -- every week I'd dig up a word and figure out a way of helping them to spell it. "Accommodating" was the first word, and the trick went like this: During the war, two mothers each had a child. Their house was bombed, so the two Mothers and two Children had to find new accommodation. Marion > Oh! There's a secret to spelling "accommodating"! So, can we make that into an airplane banner & fly it over the entire English-speaking world? ;o) I'd like to make another: Attention: "It's" ALWAYS means "It is." SO easy, but I don't think they teach it that easy way. :( >>Oh!

That's one of my pet peeves... can you tell? I possess both ES&L and ABITC - for anyone familiar with Keith Waterhouse's columns, I should be a member of the Association for the Abolition of Aberrant Apostrophes. One thing that made me *fume* recently - a staffing agency looking for someone to fill a PA type role, "good grammer essential". Fortunately I didn't have a large marker pen about my person at the time ....

That's one of my pet peeves... can you tell? One of mine is houses/homes. I often tell my students, "It's just a house, until you make it a home." I wish the real estate people would get it right.

You're right, Pam, but they're actually doing it on purpose to make the houses more attractive to the buying public; calling it a home makes it feel warmer and more personal. Actually, I don't care if they call mine a little grass hut; just sell it for me! ;-) Nina SignatureProfessional proofreading doesn’t cost – it pays! ninaproofs@earthlink.net www.ninaproofs.com >>> So, can we make that into an airplane banner & fly it over the entire >>> English-speaking world? ;o) [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Pam S. Two of my pet peeves (estate agents) is that "the accommodation comprises of..." and "it's different than" Tweed <-- might have made it as a proof reader |
