Cat Genealogy: Prowling Past in Purrsuit of Pussy Paternity

Hello, Nikita here!

For weeks now Daddy has been digging into my computer time with his genealogy activities, but my feelings about this were easily taken care of with a simple bribe.

What can I say?

I love belly rubs, so sue me! ;-D

But Daddy couldn't hog the Computer forever!

I have to host the latest Carnival of the Cats tomorrow, afterall. ;-D

So what is this thing called Genealogy?

For all you Cats who don't know I did some research!

According to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary this is the definition:

1. An Account of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or from older forms.

2. Regular descent of a person, family, or group of organisms from a progenitor or older form.

3. An account of the origin and historical developement of something.

According to The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories "Genealogy" has "Middle English" origins: "This came via Old French and late Latin, from the Greek word "Genealogia", from genea 'race, generation' and -logia 'speaking, discourse'.

This all got me to thinking...Cats...that means me, you dear reader, the stray in the alley down the street...we are all organisms.

A "Something" that developed over centuries, from a much, much earlier "Something".

So I went Googling!

I did a search for "Cat Genealogy", and came up with some interesting stuff. ;-D

I Love Target, Too, But...

Contrary to popular opinion Restraint IS NOT a 4-letter word!

The Editor of the wonderful blog Slave to Target went to Target, recently, with the sincere intent of only purchasing 2, count 'em, 2 items!

Clearly, someone has to work on their math skills. ;-D

Oh, and Ladies....if you simply MUST, there's a Red Cart Romance Thong pictured in the sidebar. ;-D

I wonder if there are any guys, out there, eagerly awaiting a Red Cart Romance JOCK STRAP? ;-D

I worked as a Target Cashier for 2 years before I became a Directory Assistance Operator in 2004, and had an interesting time doing it. ;-D

I 1st discovered this blog in 2006, and check in with it from time to time, still.

Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing

Last night, around 3am - 4am, Orange County experienced an intermittent Thunder and Lightning Show that provided a very cool Light display, and was so extremely loud that it sent Nikita fleeing under the bed. ;-D

Aside from a 5 min. rain shower there was no rain the rest of the day, until around 6pm when a few drops were attempted in a gesture that seemed to say "I'm here for a couple of days, and could drench you, but just choose not to, so there!" ;-D
