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.
CLUTCHED
Check out the Friday Ark, which it’s the 159th cruise setting out today from the Modulator’s fine Port Facility, under the direction of Cap’n Steve.

Zipster
Hurry UP!
[Editor: Zipster looks like Income’s younger brother, but he is feral. When I go out to feed the “pride” Zipster dashes around my feet at full speed. He may leap up a tree and then jump down and take off, full til…
Yay! I finally got mine in early enough to be the headline act! And what an act it is, too!
🙂
Thanks for hosting the Ark again.
All Chicks in Bikinis, all the Time
I’ve decided to post nothing but images of cute girls in swim suits from now on
Tongue ‘n Toes Thursday #14
Meowza again, this time toe licking while I test TinyMCE Advanced features.
Although when it comes to tongue, this one’s better.
Remember, tomorrow’s Friday Ark, Weekend Cat Blogging is at Paulchen’s FoodBlog, Bad Kitty Cats Festival…
Togetherness, Bliss
Isn’t that sweet, Meowza and Keefe together like that? One would never guess they are little monsters when they’re awake.

Time to be in praise of Dexter, as Sasha and Dexter continue to look forward to getting out, despite the warmer weather.

Friday cat food: Let sleeping frogs lie
Every once in a while, we will hear a cat downstairs simply scratching away at the kitchen window glass. Sometimes, it’s not always obvious what they’re scratching about.
See that? Let’s look closer.
It’s a green tree frog. …
Friday Puppy
This little guy was really, really, REALLY happy to be let loose at UTC’s Culture Fest table. He ran all over the place like a dog posessed and flopped down at everyone’s feet to wiggle uncontrolably, I think intending…
Friday Calf Blogging
Freckles the calf, on World Farm Animal Day, or thereabouts. I’m not sure if World Farm Animal Day was October 1, October 2, or October 4, but anyway I missed it. Darn. The cows and I were going to celebrate.
Thanks for another great Friday Ark!

I went outside briefly, long enough to get down and dirty, guess that’s why Mog calls me Dirtyboy.

Finally Friday
I’m still ignoring the news although I did watch it while petting them. And while taking pictures of them. After taking her turn on the lap, Jezi got up and went behind the curtain. This is the shot I got where you can actually see her.
Bazel wa…
Feline Friday: Alone time
Miss Lyra sits at the foot of the bed, carefully bathing her left front paw. Sergei leaps silently onto the bed, landing almost atop her, disrupting her toilette. How rude! And he has the nerve to bump up against her, demanding to be groomed. Time to …
Caturday
Seeing as I spent the better part of the day with them and cleaning up cat pee in the kitchen again, I thought to share another pic. Not of Izzy for obvious reasons. Bad kittycat.
Or two. Here’s a better shot of Jezi. She’s still availabl…
