We Hunted The Mammoth
… For a second I read quitters as quilters…
LOL! I imagine quilters have a lot of patience.
What gorgeous kitties. I especially like the little white paws. Do you have bigger versions by any chance? (I got rid of the thumb bit to see full size but they are still rather small). I can work with those, but the bigger the source, the better the result will be.
Let’s see if this works better

Well, that second is sure bigger! Geez.
I have some good ideas already. 🙂
Quitting is for quitters.
Following, and Mads is already in there! ::cheers cheers::

I should get Mr C to take a pic of me holding the cat in the air overhead and making her “fly”.
(When you find yourself singing the Dangermouse theme to your cat, except you’re changing it to “Kittymouse”, it may be time to get some sleep.)
Kitteh, is that your black kitty up thread? Damn, she’s a dead ringer for my cat, Alice! Even down to the orange collar!
LOL my cat is an astronaut. That’s fantastic!
Thank you!
This is amazing!
Here’s mine

OMG that cat is walking on the ceiling!
Hey everyone. Sorry to harsh the happy cat picture buzz (I’ve bookmarked your tumblr, Kim, because it’s really cool) but I had to share my outrage about this. Have a look at the link, if you want. If not, just ignore me and carry on with happier stuff.

kthanxbye!
Small vent moment (but happy to see all the kitties!).
I’ve been sick for two days and am behind on my nanowrimo. Ugh. *kicks wall* I hate colds in november!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
His supercilious “I’d smite you but it isn’t worth my time” face goes just so well with the tunnel.
It’s his tunnel.
So much love.
(happy dance)
These cats are cracking me up! How about this one?

I got three requests in the contest, which is pretty good. Best I saw was twelve, but I was only an alternate, not a primary. (And plenty of people got zero.)
Shiraz – yup, that’s Mr Hadji upthread, praying that the bath wouldn’t overflow. Old pic, he crossed over in 2009. One of the many reasons I love watching the Cole and Marmalade and Shorty and Kodi vids is that Cole and Shorty look like him, though they’re fluffier. 🙂
Had to share this:

Thanks Kim! I love Darrow as a ballet dancer. It’s now set as the wallpaper on my laptop!
It’s especially funny because by cat standards he’s a bit clumsy and oafish. He’s also kind of chubby. Picturing him as a ballet dancer is the height of hilarity!
Okaaaay. I presume there may be only a couple, if any, other folks on here who’ve ever been to the Barossa Valley. I’ve spent quite a few very enjoyable weekends and whole weeks there over the last 40+ years, so I know it quite well. I’ve often recommended it for people visiting SA and that’s where my daughter had her wedding.
But, I hated this ad the first time I saw it and its gone downhill for me every time since. Now they’re telling us it’s winning awards all over the world.

I realise you can’t sell much to general tourism on the basis of gourmet food and superior wine tasting and not much else, but I find this approach really off-putting. Maybe it’s just the song. I suppose you also can’t sell very much on the basis of Dame Kiri Te Kanawa singing among the vineyards. (I also hated the gospel / spiritual type song they used for the Kangaroo Island advertisement.) Maybe it’s all about the music being not-my-music.
