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….?
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.
Visit each border and come back regularly Friday-Sunday to visit new boarders. And do link to the Friday Ark whether you use trackbacks or not.
Dog folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Dogs hosted by Mickey’s Musings.
Cat folks: remember to submit your links to the Carnival of the Cats which goes up every Sunday and the 82nd edition will be hosted this week by Where The Dolphins Play. There are more weekly cats at eatstuff’s Weekend Cat Blogging which has many participants who may not be familiar to Ark or Carnival participants.

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….
Happy Birthday! Middle-Fork is One!
Friday’s Catblogging
Butterscotch Is Thirsty!!
Feline Friday: Our hunter
Last night, Sergei was busy shaking to death one of his rabbit fur toys when he spotted a small spider crawling across our bedroom ceiling. Who cares about a fur rattle when there’s real live prey in the room? It didn’t matter to Sergei …

Did you know that there are only 21 species of albatross remaining on earth, and 19 of them are endangered? Featured this week in Birds in the News is the lovely but endangered Black-footed Albatross, Phoebastria nigripes. To learn more about how to help save endangered albatross and to read lots of stories about other species of birds who share their planet with us, read this week’s issue of Birds in the News #31!
Also, dear modulator, can you please change your announcement regarding I and the Bird so new submissions and nominations are sent to me, the next host? Many thanks!

Poor Clyde
It’s so hard to look dignified with grass hanging out of your mouth. I guess I’ll cut him some slack, since he is 15 years old. Poor guy. And don’t forget to check out the Friday Ark….
I’m a bad Mommy-cat *sniff!*
Now, in my defense, Pixel has been notorious for slipping her collar before, and is also… Well, “skittish” isn’t the right word, since it’s obvious she wants you to give her skritchies, but she doesn’t make it easy for you to catch up with her.
Aaaaaaahhhh! And the dreaded TB snafu raised its ugly head!
Sorry – I kept trying, even after waiting a while. I should have just been more patient. *sigh*

The weather has remained pleasant, and a Green Frog (Rana clamitans) is still hanging out by my backyard pond, taking advantage of sluggish bugs pausing at pondside plants. See other cool creatures in the Friday Ark.
