“What’s your name,” Coraline asked the cat. “Look, I’m Coraline. Okay?”
“Cats don’t have names,” it said.
“No?” said Coraline.
“No,” said the cat. “Now you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.” — Neil Gaiman, Coraline
The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer. — Paula Poundstone
“Curiosity killed the cat,” Fesgao remarked, his dark eyes unreadable.
Aly rolled her eyes. Why did everyone say that to her? “People always forget the rest of the saying,” she complained. “‘And satisfaction brought it back.” — Tamora Pierce, Trickster’s Choice

Oh Shannon, this was so special! My baby
Fela, the beautiful Abby, was just diagnosed with a fast growing cancer! I am broken
hearted but this, made me smile!
Louise, so sorry to hear about Fela. 😦 Glad to bring a bit of a smile… I’m sure you have many smiles when you think of your years with Fela.
Thanks Shannon, you make me feel better
Very wonderful !!! There’s a black cat about ankle high on Gomez Fárias on the south side between Av. Juárez y Reforma. It has been there for years.
Truly enjoy your posts. Thank you
Thanks! Yes, I think I’ve seen it. Of course, now I’ve got to go search it out. 😉
Love Paula Poundstone’s comment. She always has such a humorous and down to earth point of view. Yesterday I heard her on NPR talking about her new book, and I think it would be great fun to read.
Yep, she has away with words!
