That’s the whole point of having one. 🙂 > > **Anaamika** : Can you send me some thumbtacks while you’re at it? Thumbtacks? Whatever for? But sure! ---

It was a joke but since you asked – I don’t have any and I want to hang my calendar up. (Despite what people say, duct tape can’t fix everything.) ---

**Indyellen** , now that you mention it, L’engle was probably the unconscious inspiration for Zyll’s name, even though he is a boy. _A Swiftly Tilting Planet_ has always been one of my favorite books ever. ---

> [@ticker](#): > > [In a similar vein](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4152447.stm) OMG! Owen and Mzee! That has been my background at work for over a week 😃 I think they should get to stay together. Love conquers all and such. ---

Yeah, I’ve got some brightly colored ones I can send your way, you’ll just have to deal with the colors. The “package” will go out on Monday. ---

Cool, even if it was unconscious. It’s long been one of my favorites, too. ---

Got another one…this cracks me up. A bit of explanation: we recently moved into a 3 bedroom house from a 1 bedroom apartment, but the addition of two slob roomates leaves us with less space than we had before. Currently, all the extra stuff (and I am sure there are some essential items buried here, too) is piled rather haphazardly in the corner of our bonus room. Zyll weighs 14 pounds. He was stocky in the first place, and since we had him fixed, he’s just gotten fatter. I mean, the cat has _rolls_. It took him 7 minutes to get [up here](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/timeliketears/KingoftheMountain.jpg). His weight and the fact that he’s over 3 feet from his nose to the end of his tail should give you some idea of how big the pile is. ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > Our [Majyk](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=60&pic=pets61.JPG&picindex=60) is not often without his stuffed bear anymore. Out of curiousity, do you ever get to sit on your couch? 'Cause Majyk and and that gray and white furbeast on the left look like they might disembowel you if you tried… 😛 I want a kitty! ---

> [@Hal Briston](#): > > Awwww…that pick of Zyll is tooooo adorable. 🙂 Our [Majyk](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&mode=&start=60&pic=pets61.JPG&picindex=60) is not often without his stuffed bear anymore. The gray one on the right looks like our Chipie, right down to the choice of sleeping spots. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-just-had-to-share-kitty-pic/285882.md?page=1)
