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 add boarders all day Friday plus intermittently on Saturday and Sunday so visit frequently.
Do link to the Ark every week!
You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page.
Alert: The Ark staff is traveling again today, 11/17. After the first round of early morning boardings updates will be intermittant…every few hours at best.

Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I have, though, for the past month been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.

non-cat friday
This little cutie is the 50th Red-breasted Nuthatch we’ve banded in the yard in the last few years. More creatures great and small at the Friday Ark.
Boston and Jaffa join Sasha and Dexter with a good news story confirming: “Two are less trouble”.

Friday Catblogging
It’s time for Friday Catblogging, where you blog about your cat. Every day is Catblogging Day here at Catcall, but it’s extra-special when it’s Friday. But sometimes, it’s a bit too early for the cats… Frisky doesn’t want to play….
