What cat are you?

My sister M sent me this link. I found out I am a Snowshoe:

The Snowshoe is gregarious and talkative. She is always ready for fun and will regularly try to instigate a game. While her strong intellect leads her to try new things, it also causes her to become easily bored when a task is mastered. Variety is truly the spice of life for this kitty! Affectionate with others, eager to interact, the Snowshoe is always the belle of the ball.

I like this description. And I definitely like variety. What kind of cat are you?

Also, in an interesting twist of fate, I will soon be teaching yoga to investment bankers. I just have to get certified in CPR and take a brief orientation.

I'm a Norwegian Forest Cat: The Norwegian Forest Cat is strong and independent. She is reserved with newcomers but blossoms in the company of old friends. Confidently defending what is hers, she does not like strangers in her territory. Her luxurious coat is a lot to handle, and necessity dictates regular upkeep. An amazing athlete, the Norwegian Forest Cat thrives on physical activity, and no leap is too great or prey too quick for her to tackle. This huntress is clearly queen of her domain!

I'm not so sure about that last part about being an amazing athlete. I'm definitely not that!

I, too, am a snowshoe (and it rhymes!).

CPR...heh. You very well might need it for investment bankers. I have this stereotypical image of 60-something white men in suits trying to downward dog :)

Lisa - my sister got that same one! She's a Virgo like you, too :) Heck, you may even have the same birthday - Aug 23?

Kitkat - heehee...good point!

That's too weird. Our birthdays are one day apart---I'm August 24.

Yay for Virgos!

I didn't do the test because I have already made up my mind that I'm a Tonkinese. That's probably because I have a Tonkinese and her personality fits mine perfectly: not terribly pretty (not in a conventional way at least), a bit high-strung, slim, talks a lot of rubbish, is very very loving and likes to cuddle but can also be very moody.

Just like me.

I HAD to go back and do the test in the end. And I'm an ocicat apparently.

The Ocicat is both playful and devoted. She may spring into action on a whim at any moment, or languidly pass an hour away in the lap of a loved one. Is happiest with friends and struggles at being solitary for any period of time. Her exotic, no-fuss coat is a breeze to maintain, and looking her best comes easily. Inquisitive by nature, she gets into trouble from time to time. But any trouble is soon forgotten because she is off on a new adventure in a flash!

"Looking her best comes easily" pah.

Waspgoddess - you're too hard on yourself; you looked great in your SPC. And your Tonkinese is a cutie! i like how she drinks *only* from the edge of the bowl.

Like wg, I'm an Ocicat. I don't think I struggle with being solitary, though. :)

Although I like solitary too:)

I think ocicats look like little leopards....

Have fun with your new class!

I like the very last sentence. :)

"No leap is too great" is pretty cool, too :)

Here is a link to some ocicats. My sister's partner's mom (now that was a mouthful I'm sure no one bothered to follow) has one, and it's apparently very friendly

For some reason, I laughed when I hread you had to learn CPR to teach investment bankers yoga.

Even though this quiz is women orientated, I did it. Are all virgos showshoes?

It actually looks like most Virgos are Norwegian forest cats (Lisa, above, and my sister). I'm a Cancer and a snowshoe. Suzy is also a snowshoe, but i'm not sure what sign she is...

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
