The camera is too LOUD and scary!
Smile for the camera? OK!
CAMERA?!?
Enough…
I’m so done with these pictures…
Of course as soon as I stepped away from the computer, I went scrambling for my camera. They were being too cute again!
We’ve had a lot going on around here lately. Nothing bad, just BUSY BUSY BUSY! We don’t want to neglect this blog anymore. We like keeping everyone updated on Sylvester. He is being his normal pain in the BUTT self these days. Lots of fun and aggravation all around. Dave promises he will get back to writing his thoughts on Sylvester and black cats in general. In the meantime, here are some videos to entertain you with:
Grasshoppers do NOT taste good:
It’s hard to play with a grasshopper with that dog pestering me!
OOH! This is fun – can we keep it??
I don’t know if he was upset that I was running the steam cleaner or what. He just shot for the top of the desk and could *not* get comfy.
At one point he “fell over” and looked really stuck!
Eventually he looked rather comfortable – although aggravated at this point.
Ah, but this cute little thing… she’s too much! 🙂
One of the reasons I started Milliecat.com was to honor the memory of the late great Millie Montgomery. The other reason was to dispel the myth that black cats are bad luck. See some of my previous posts and pics for proof.
Now that Friday the 13th is upon us people will be dusting off their non-sensical superstitions. It’s one thing to be superstitious about a date on the calendar. I don’t think shelters will be filling up with unwanted 13s cut out of calendars anytime soon. It’s a rather harmless superstition. So I was rather upset when my wife emailed me a link to an article posted on the website of our local newspaper.Â

What kills me is that the article leads off with a picture of a black cat, in of all places, a shelter. Then it concludes the article with the line “…be sure to steer clear of black cats.”
This is the kind of irresponsible thinking that leads to black cats remaining in shelters. This is also bad news for all cats, since every space occupied by a black cat is one less space for the so-called “more desirable” cats.Â
My message to the Sun Chronicle: Next time, think before you publish such an irresponsible article.

Some of you may already know I’m also a big NASCAR fan, and that my favorite driver is Ryan Newman. I became a fan of Newman because of his Purdue background. The more I learn about him, the more I think he’d be my favorite driver even if he never set foot on the Purdue campus.
