Cats, Dogs, Spiders and ? every Friday.
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?
Alert! Alert! We will not be able to post updates to The Ark during the day Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We will try to catch up in the evenings. Also, be aware that trackbacks to Modulator have been having some problems so make sure yours works. If not use one of the other methods mentioned below.
We will add your post to the list if you do one of the following:
- Leave a comment or trackback to this post,
- Use the Carnival Submission Form,
- Email Modulator or
- Our extensive staff finds it during our weekly search of the web
Of course, if our staff goes on strike then we will link only those posts someone tells us about.

Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….

Feline Friday: Lap time
All three of our cats love to be snuggled, but Sergei is the only one of the three who is regularly a lap cat. But not my lap, oh no! Only Paul’s lap will do for our tuxedo boy, who flops down, hooks a couple of claws into Paul’s jeans, and hangs on wh…
FRIDAY ARK #48
It looks like Steve – the Modulator – has succumbed to the popular practice of numbering his weekly publications of the Friday Ark.
Well, fine. Know, then, that Edition #48 is up, running, meowing, and barking.
Friday Cat Blogging Bonanza
In honor of Running Scared hosting the Carnival of the Cats this weekend, we’re offering a batch of cat photos hot off the press.
First, we have Sassy (a.k.a. Fat Cat) out on her leash in the yard getting exercise. Stalking the elusive Fat…
How come my trackbacks don’t seem to show up? Here’s my post:

What is your blogsite all about? asked syndicated columnist Jill Stewart of Pajamas Media in a phone interview this morning. Some things are obvious, and having taken a peek at our blog, she already knew about Baby Cakes (sniffing

All Three
It takes a little effort to get all three cats together… Piper was eating, Frisky was in his corner watching her, and Nardo was figure-8ing against my back. So I picked up Nardo and put him between the two. The…

It’s been a while since Eep was featured here, on Friday or any other day of the week. So, for your viewing pleasure is The Wild Eep, her actual full name, on record with the vet and county animal licensing.
Catblogging Friday – the “Thank God I’m Home!” edition
Yes, I’m home! I have my stuff (now, I’ve gotta shoehorn all this stuff in…), and I have broadband access on my computer with all my bells-and-whistles! Hooray! Smudge was having a grand old time welcoming me back this morning,
Flat Out Jacqueline
It’s moments like this when I wonder if there isn’t some feline in Jacqueline’s woodpile… Maybe it’s just me, but that way of sleeping seems to be more along the lines of how cats sleep. In any case, it’s still…

Friday Diamondblogging: Joys and Their Toys — Plushies
First off, I just bought a new digital camera in anticipation of my upcoming trip to Mexico City, and I’m still a bit fumbly with it, so I apologize for the blurry images.
Once again Diamond proved to be more interested in the camera than …

Orange Rooster Crows
This bantam is pretty darn funny when he crows. He’s pretty much a contortionist chicken when it comes to crowing. Since I have harvested the two big Rhode Island Reds, he considers himself one of the lords of the…
Friday Creature
It’s been a while since our faithful hound has been featured as a Friday Creature, though she has been appeared several times before. This photo is from Wednesday night, the eve of DD’s departure for her freshman year of college….
I think I can say without contradiction it should be Taffy, Sasha, Llama (Justin) and the horse with no name.
Thanks for your posting.

The arrested cow – and other animal tales
It is weekend and time to present some lighter news than the usual stories about war and terrorism, and today a few odd animal tales have stood.
