One thing I love nearly as much as cats is wordplay – crossword puzzles, puns, neologisms, I love them all.
Last night, Thurston – all 19 or so pounds of him – sat on my legs as I had them stretched out on the sofa. After sitting this way for quite a while, I finally dislodged Thurston and got up – and found one of my legs totally asleep. I said to my husband, “My leg was asleep… Thurston totally cut off circulation to my legs.”
My husband replied, much to my delight, “A purr-niquet.”
Believe it or not, the idea for menandcats.com started out as the idea to make a calendar of men and cats, but somehow along the way, it morphed into a blog.
However, PUPP needs funding to help kickstart all our great programs which help people by helping pets! So, menandcats.com is going to create a 2010 calendar with proceeds going to PUPP. As an added bonus, the calendars will contain photos not seen on the website. They will be available before the end of the year, hopefully no later than December 1st (these will make great holiday gifts!)
If you want to contribute a photo to the calendar, send an e-mail to janine at menandcats dot com with the subject “calendar photo.” Please include the first name of the man and cat(s) and your name as you’d like it to appear in the credit. I will notify you if your photo is chosen for inclusion.
All photographers will receive credit for their work, this is a great opportunity for national exposure and will be helping out a great cause!
Bookcourt has long been my favorite book store – they have a great selection, free readings, friendly staff, a convenient location, reasonable hours… the list goes on. It’s hard for me to resist buying a book whenever I walk by or go in (my husband and I are hopeless book addicts… I try to use the library, but Bookcourt gets to me). A while back, they expanded, which delighted me. Then I found out they had acquired a cat! I was told that the cat’s name is Francis, and he appeared one day during renovations. First the mice came, then the cat. Francis, an adorable tabby, made himself useful chasing the mice away, then ingratiated himself with the folks at the store, and then the customers. He’s now a permanent fixture, often found lounging on the books or walking around getting petted. I’d been meaning to blog about Francis for a while, but Racked beat me to it, in their wonderful “Store Sidekicks” series. At any rate, I hope Bookcourt and Francis have many more happy years together!
