Let's Hear it For the Kitties

A couple days back I posted an article introducing a kitten that the wife and I have taken in. I mentioned that we were keeping the boy and socializing the girl to give away. I also said that I would be posting a photo of the pair of them.

The black kitty on the right, the girl, is the one up for adoption. The tiger kitty is very friendly and both are pretty tame, but the black one is not as bold. She will fall asleep if you hold her, but she does not come up to you like the tiger will. We are working on that.

There is still one other kitten to catch, not sure how I will get that done.

 

 

        

        

Check out "This Day In History" -- music and vintage television from the 1950's through the 1980's.  I enjoy writing these articles because they take me back to my days in radio broadcasting. Click on Elvis' gold record, below, to revisit those golden hits of yesteryear.

I think Thanksgiving is a good day to make this post. Those of you who go back aways here at ActiveRain will remember I had a cat that "worked" at my office. That was pre-Nutsy. His name was Mr.  Topolino Stromboli. I wrote a few posts about him… more

Almost everybody has heard of Motown Records. Motown was a legend in the 1960's. Berry Gordy, Jr, the founder, was an innovator in R&B, soul and pop music. When you think of Motown and girl groups, you probably think of the mighty Supremes. Fact… more

A week ago I wrote about the first song from England to go to the top of the American charts. That song was a couple years before the Beatles and when the British Invasion officially got underway. Those of you who read the post know that that first… more
Hiding at the New House

Below is a photo that shows yet another reason to have a home inspection at a new home. In this case, the builder, or his subs, had forgotten to connect the downspouts to the drains. This seemed to be kind of obvious, but it was not unless one… more

This is a fun contest for me, being an old radio guy. I have been annoyed by many annoying songs over the years in my previously annoying radio career. On the air, early 1970's, click to hear Steve in the summer of 1974 There is an old saying… more
Great Art, Age Inappropriate Models

This is sort of related to the book meme. Not directly, but it is in that Charles Buell insisted that I get some books on the great artists. I did so and this blog is the result of that. Let's talk great art. Have you ever noticed how some model in… more
