I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It's not. Mine had me trained in two days.~Bill Dana

A cat determined not to be found can fold itself up like a pocket handkerchief if it wants to. ~Louis J. Camuti

In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. ~Dereke Bruce

Anyone who claims that a cat cannot give a dirty look either has never kept a cat or is singularly unobservant. ~Maurice Burton

A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.~Robert Southey

When the cat's away, the mice dance on the table.~Swedish Proverb

No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens~ Abraham Lincoln

Aloha Friday #04

Aloha everyone!
It's Friday, which means that over at An Island Life it is time for Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays we take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, she asks a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Then everyone else asks a simple question of their own blog for others to answer.

The question for this week is: Do you think it is possible for animals to "communicate" with humans? I talk to Muffin all of the time and I think she understands quite a bit of what I tell her. (Dogs supposedly have an even greater capacity of the English language--it's MY opinion that cats have just a great of an ability--they just don't want any of us to know it!!!) Anyway, what's your opinion? Do you talk to your animals? Do they seem to understand what you are saying?? If you don't have pets, do you have a family member or friend who has pets? Do you think it is possible for animals and humans to communicate? Or is it just a bunch of hooey?? Don't be shy--I want to hear your opinion so leave your comments.

Update: Thanks for everyone who stopped by last week. Seems like we have a lot of happy pets!!! All kinds of pets too!! Also, there are a couple of people who would like to have pets but can't so we can feel for them!! Life is definitely better with fur!!

Surrounding her face is a beautiful "ruff" of silky curly hair. Yup...she is one cute, little Ragdoll...and she KNOWS it!!! (She will often just sit up and give you those baby blues as if--WHAT??

Quotable Sunday #4

Yay...it's Sunday. Another round of Quotable Sunday. Check into A Daily Dose of Toni to see what it is all about and to also sign in. Half of the fun is to make the rounds, read and comment on other quotes. I LOVE quotes. (If you are a quote fanatic, like I am, check out my quote site--I have been doing this for years--sorry I don't have it organized or indexed...someday...

Anyway...more cats quotes (since this is my Ragdoll (Cat) Mom Site...

If cats could talk, they wouldn't.

~Nan Porter

If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.

~Mark Twain

The reason cats climb is so that they can look down on almost every other animal - it's also the reason they hate birds.

~K.C. Buffington

Are we really sure the purring is coming from the kitty and not from our very own hearts?

~Emme Woodhull-Bäche, translated

Kittens are angels with whiskers.

~Author Unknown

Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you're hungry, eat. When you're tired, nap in a sunbeam. When you go to the vet's, pee on your owner.

~Gary Smith

Aloha Friday #03

Today's question is pretty easy. Do you own a pet? If so, what is it? (If not, would you like to? If not, why?)

Me--I, of course, am the proud mama of a beautiful ragdoll cat, Muffin, who thinks that she is the baby of the family.

UPDATE: Thanks for all who participated in last week's question. Seems like we had a lot of butterflies among us.

Don't be shy...please stop and make a comment....Have a great weekend....
