Birthday Greetings!

Today, it's to starfire68!

Also, belatedly to ed_rex!

Many happy returns to you both!

Cat-Smuggling

It is done on buses hereabouts. In properly designed cat-carriers so that the cat can see where their human is taking them.

The one I saw yesterday seemed fairly calm. Opened eyes upon hearing my greeting, but otherwise did not react overmuch to other humans' reactions.

Any languages that they made poster versions for that this site hasn't gotten copies of the files for yet?

Update 13 Jan 2017: The movieposterdb.com link is useless now due to legal action by Disney. The website's still operating, but not able to show the relevant posters.

Update 31 Dec 2019: The situation in the first update's been reversed, reasons unknown!

Speaking of Veterans

This just gets my goat as well.
