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….?
Do link to the Ark every week!
You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page.

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 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.
Feline Friday: Glamour shot
Lyra took some time out from dozing in the sun to pose for a new head shot. Even with fewer teeth, she is a gorgeous girl.
All the beautiful critters strut their stuff this weekend. Will there be a red carpet to board the Friday Ark? The felines will …

FUZZY FRIDAY
If you like animals, then sooner or later
You’re gonna have to visit the Modulator.
What he modulates is a mystery, they say,
But that Ark of his sails every Friday.
Pillow talk
Tiny, above, demonstrates the proper use of Nepeta cataria. See Substance abuse, then and now for where we stand on catnip addiction. Thanks again to our precious niece Sarah and cutie-pie human companion AJ for the fab catnip pillows they
This week marked twelve months since Dexter came to share Sasha’s digs. We marked the Anniversary Week, and Sasha did not seem to mind.
At Burning Silo:
A magnificent Mudpuppy Night – Necturus maculosus (aquatic salamanders).
Porcupines – a photo essay on Porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum).
I will have one tonight of a screenshot within Second Life, featuring Edloe and Piper on my sewer abode’s wall.
Ross is such a goof
Saturday, I watched Ross in one of the cat trees on the patio. He was so cute, I had to take some pictures. Look at how he slowly comes out of the tube, ending up almost hanging upside down. He's such a friendly little guy.

Laptop Cases
Ahh, just right.
[Editor: The key to getting the proper laptop bag is having enough stiffness in the sides to form a bowl and large enough to hold the entire cat. Of course you need to find someplace else to put the computer.]

The feline five
Since I couldn’t decide which of The Kids I should post photos of today, I eventually concluded all five of them deserved a moment in the spotlight. So here are moments in the lives of five felines who very much rule my world—and hear…

Tinker Puts Her Best Foot Forward
Friday Creature
Sorry for the late post today. I just got back from another road trip — this one was up to Murfreesboro yesterday afternoon, where DD delivered a paper for a Women’s Studies conference at MTSU this morning. There’s too much…
Oops. My bad — the last part of the post title is actually “How I Could Just Kill a Mouse.” I transposed the “Could” and “I.”
Bean Sidhe is growing a bit: http://houseofchaos.blog-city.com/bannikins_you_monster_.htm
Sorry I’m late. Had stuff to do.
