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….
A Tale of Two Kitties
This week’s Friday Cat Blogging brings us Colin, acting as if he’s my best friend in the world….

This week in Birds in the News, the featured photo is an American Bittern.
Guest Doggies
I’m not sure if these are Thumbkin’s babies. They haven’t been welcomed into the smijer household… unfortunately, we are full – and they are still a little timid about us anyway (as evidenced by their recent defecation on the Younger…

Friday Catblogging
Hillel lives near a building downtown where there are lots of journalists. As you may imagine, it can get to be a pretty high-pressure environment at times. So how does a normally laid-back cat such as Hillel deal with the stress?
Feline Friday
More Church and Snowball. They seem to be always sleeping, but they are not always cute when sleeping: Some have noticed that there is a character named Church in Red vs. Blue. It’s not a coincidence, although Church is also…
The Most Elusive Cat In The House
I thought for a change I would post a picture of our most elusive cat in the house, Salem. Salem was born just before I met my wife, and was a present from my mother-in-law to my stepdaughter. In fact,…

Feline Friday: Sasha reflects
I can’t believe it’s already Friday again! It’s just after midnight, and I’ve been home from work for about half an hour. I have a major deadline coming up, and the days are flying past too quickly.

The excel spreadsheet I tracked the links in has died, so it looks like I’ll be stopping that fun little project. Hope it shed some light on the relative popularity and obsessions of various petbloggers.
It’s time to catblog again!
Yay! Life has settled down enough that I can enjoy showing off the precious purrs again! Please don’t forget to stop by the Modulator for this week’s Friday Ark, and on Sunday, the Carnival of the Cats will be hosted

What a cute idea. I’ve got a picture of an adoptable kitty on my blog today. 🙂
I am sorry to be such a pain, dear modulator, but can you please fix the broken link to my blog up there in the list? The link should read as such;

Red-bellied Snake
I’ve always been fascinated by snakes, but since I grew up in the Mojave desert I learned a very healthy respect for them at a young age. Michigan has 17 species of snakes, and only one of those is venomous- the Eastern Massasauga Rattlesna…

Social Service Siting Report and other items
The report of the “Mayor’s Social Service Task Force” is not yet public, but already plenty of folks in Worcester have their hands on it and are discussing it.
Worcester Magazine leaked the guts of the report yesterday.
Let’s look at what they …
Thank you for posting Spider With Spider, and for all the excellent hosting.
I fell asleep last night before midnight struck and Friday released the flood gate on Houdini Watches For The Two New Neighbor Kittens. I haven’t see them yet, but the reports are “sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!”

Requium for a Pangolin
(no…really…there IS such a thing!)
http://blogging.la/archives/2005/10/requiem_for_a_p.phtml
@ blogging.la
An African anteater known as a pangolin came to live at the Los Angeles Zoo last January after being confiscated by a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services inspector from an area family returning from a trip to Africa.
..Well, last weekend Mayeye died after apparently being ill for several weeks, and I’m among the broken-hearted Zoo staffers, volunteers, members and visitors who are going to miss seeing the little tyke bustle about its exhibit. The cause of death hasn’t been determined.

Some (Delicious) Pig
In the UK, in the Dudley city council, they recently outlawed pictures of Piglet. Why? Because pigs are offensive to Muslims. I guess this new flag proposal is doomed then. Last I checked, Muslims and Jews could not eat pork,…

Thalia Watches TV
I was watching the 1965 Disney classic, “That Darn Cat” the other day, and before long Thalia joined me. Thalia thinks D.C. is the cat’s meow. Remember the Friday Ark at The Modulator, and the Carnival of the Cats this…
Angel’s Best Side
During his photo session this week, Angel had a tough time deciding on which is his best side. I say each is equally cute. And now for the gratuitous, Doggie in a baby blanket picture, Jacqueline HATES to be spoiled….
