Greeblings or greeblies?

They say that hoomins already know too much about cat affairs. Samuel Redcat (http://www.smurgle.net/gallery/displ...om&cat=0&pos=- 2) says he didn't mention the other terms because he's never sure how much he can disclose without violating the Kitty Code. I've told my cats that Sammy Redcat is a genuine feline - and a handsom one at that. Tell Sam that photographers love orange tabbies because they're so photogenic. |

Greeblings or greeblies?
I've told my cats that Sammy Redcat is a genuine feline - and a
handsom one at that. Tell Sam that photographers love orange tabbies because they're so photogenic. Sammy Redcat & Harri Roadcat both say that it is only reasonable that photographers would love orange tabbies. The other cats disagree, but those two insist that orange tabbies are the *most* photogenic. |

They would definitely be more photogenic than any of the mostly white or black cats, each of which I have several of (black absorbs the light/flash, while white reflects it and makes it too bright). I speak from experience, my HD is chock full of not-fit-for-publication photos of Ernie, Mimi, Betty, Weeble, Tennessee, Rosie.... and a few of the others. -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

"Bobcat" wrote in message ... I thought they were merely alternative terms for the same entity - that is, the one that a cat will stare fixedly at or hunt ferociously, but which cannot be detected by mere humans. Cheryl Samuel Redcat suggests that greebling, greeblie, and greeble can be used interchangeably as far as hoomin use goes. He says the distinction between them is a little more complicated than most hoomins are capable of distinguishing. Dan I consulted with the experts - my cats.

They say that hoomins already know too much about cat affairs. Dante and Stinky say you've just scratched the surface. They call your attention to greebleroonies, greeblrinis, greeblitzkis, the hip-hop greebizzles, the unusually active greebie-jeebies, and from the Southern Hemisphere, greebleroos. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

I have dozens, if not hundreds, of photos of all the kitties, except Tabitha. Being all black, I find it very difficult to get a decent photo of her. |

I've had some success photographing Sophie, our little black butterball. I find she looks best in direct sunlight, because it accents the sheen of her coat and the features of her little face. Here's a link to an item on cats staring that includes a closeup of Sophie's face. It wasn't taken in sunlight, but it still accents her fur and facial features. http://www.flippyscatpage.com/thatstare.html |

Nina, this is Piglet and you are right, they don't understand nutin!!
Everytime we see a roll of paper towels, we know there is something in there. We, me and O T always unroll it or try to shred it to protect Gramby but she doesn't appreciate our help. She doesn't yell anymore, she shakes her head and says "I should have put that away." "Shiral" wrote in message ...
