I have to say I expected something far more grisly given the OP title. ---

Aww! Cutes! 🙂 They’re called “speed_humps_” around here, for some odd reason. Personally, it just makes me giggle every time I see a sign. 😃 Sir Marmalade Speedbump, maybe? (The Queen will knight just about anyone nowadays, it seems. 😉 ) ---

Cute little guy. Count me as another believer that the animal you’re meant to have will find you. The [Queen](http://img18.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img18&image=boxedmaeve.jpg) here was rescued from the engine compartment of a Cadillac. She has expensive tastes. ---

> [@Master Wang-Ka](#): > > “Sweetheart baby darling doll…?” _:: shudder ::_ I know that tone, and it can never mean anything as sweet as it’s intended to sound. I heard it yesterday, as a matter of fact. Today, we’re going to the shelter to look at puppies. :smack: Something tells me [these guys](http://www.sirblah.com/photo/view.php?album=Pets&start=30&pic=pets55.JPG&picindex=54) will be less than pleased. And as always, excellent tale, **Wang-Ka**. ---

Cutie! Great story, too! Speedbump looks a lot like our cat, Jacques Roo. One of the kittens we adopted years ago (Festus, aka Fessie; hence my SDMB moniker) had been living in someone’s car, along with his tiny siblings - popped the hood & there he was!
