More About Cats

At the website www.catsthatthrowupgrass.com, you can view some signs to tell if your cat is trying to kill you. I made up my own signs (most of them are taken from or based on ones from the website).

1) Sleeping on electronics. Cats probably have higher technology than us. Their printers and computers probably talk to them. Cats are trying to see if they can get your electronics to tell them what you print out, what websites you visit, and so on, so that they can discover your strengths and weaknesses.

2) Narrowing eyes while purring. This has "evil" written all over it.

3) Kneading you with paws. Cats aren't very good at making people bleed internally. However, this will not stop them from trying.

4) Throwing up grass. Humans are probably not very tasty creatures. Cats throw up grass to show that they can eat anything (including humans) and then can throw it back up and kick dirt over it.

5) Bringing you dead animals. It's not a gift. It's a warning.

Christmas Presents

This year was a pretty dang good Christmas. I got a digital camera, a new computer (I am writing on it right now!), Mario Kart for the Nintendo DS, the book I've been wanting, some jewlery, a color printer and a bunch of other stuff. But on the subject of Chistmas presents, I wanted to say that I hope that everybody whos reading this got what they wanted or is satisfied with what they got. I got everything that I wanted plus the computer, which I didn't even ask for! If anyone whos reading this has hit the jackpot- say they got a new computer and a bigscreen TV to put in their room- and they are still unsatified, then they are a snobist. A snobist (a word that I made up) is someone who is nevetr satified, and if you are a snobist and are reading my blog you can just quit right now. I do not like snobisim.
So I hit the jackpot this Christmas; everything on my list plus a few more things besides. If you want to, you can comment about what you got for Christmas; or you can comment for the sake of commenting.

Randomness; why people do it

People like to be random. But why? Is it just because we want to be different and funny? Take my friend Heather for example. She is random all the time. She pierced her stuffed animal's ears, probably for the sake of being random. I am random all the time. I am being random by writing this entry. If you like to be random, why do you do it, fellow readers? I like to do it because, well, it is random. But if you have any answers to my questions, please post a comment. I know that blogs are supposed to answer questions, not give them. But what's wrong with a little randomness?

P.S. Thanks for reading, future readers, and if you reply, thanks for replying. And remember to be random!

Cats and Dogs

Why are cats and dogs so different? Right now my cat is sleeping on my mom's laptop while my dog is trying to annoy my brother so that she can sit in front of the heater. One moment cats are here, the next they're there. One moment dogs are here, the next they're chasing the cat who's trying to get to there. Cats and dogs seem to be natural enemies; dogs chase cats, cats claw dog noses, and so on. But why? Dog behavior is explained a little; they are bred to hunt forest prey, and cats must seem like some kind of wild animal. And cats claw dogs to defend themselves. But why are they so different?
Sorry if I made no sense. i tend to do that sometimes.

Global Warming and Arctic/Antarctic Animals

Did you know that global warming affects polar bears? Polar bears are strong swimmers, but when the iceberg that they're fishing on breaks off from the glaciers, the polar bears drown trying to swim back. Many people say that leopard seals can't drown. But that's not true. Leopard seals need to come up through the ice to breath. But they also need to hunt. A large part of a leopard seal's diet consists of penguins. If global warming kills all of the penguins, there would be a lot less leopard seals around. Animals like beluga whales live in the cold seas near the ice caps. The rising temperature will affect the water temperature, too, and then all the sea life in the cold water will be affected. We would lose a lot of animal species, and not just ones on land.

Off Topic

For my first blog entry, I decided to write about something that I do a lot but really gets on my nerves anyways. It's when people start talking about one thing and then go off to talk about another thing. Someone could start talking about, say, cats, and then finish up talking about sewer pipes. It gets on my nerves; and I bet that it gets on other people's nerves as well. It was like, one time, my friends and I started talking about pickles, and then someone said a funny story about a dog and a pickle and then for whatever reason we started talking about dogs and then somehow the topic veered of to Christmas trees, even though it was still October. I think that if you want to talk about an interesting topic (like pickles!) you should continue to talk about pickles unless it gets really boring, because that would make lunchtime a lot more interesting. Lunchtime is the only time during the day to talk, at least at my school (Blowing Rock Elementary). I got s little off topic in this blog entry about getting off topic, and if you think that it is weird I apologize. But sometimes people write about weird but true stuff.
