Pussy Cats Galore
Cats, Cats, Cats and More Cats It is possible that “Pussy Cats Galore” will be seen as clickbait in this age of the double entendre which has been with us for hundreds of years, and the word Pussy has become almost a single entendre, though for me a pussy is a cat. I first came across the name Pussy Galore in the 1964 James Bond film “Goldfinger” based on the 1959 book by Ian Fleming.

A Joyful Feline
A Feline Introduction The title is a play on words. Yesterday I was feeling really down due to a hospital visit, worry about the outcome and when I actually got there my appointment was over an hour late, and I was sure t least two people came after me but were seen before me by the consultant but that was probably just a paranoid delusion.

Walking With Felines
First Steps A doctor recently said to another doctor in a letter that I was in great physical shape and was very fit. Given that this was someone talking to another professional about me I took it as a compliment. The reason I am in this state is not because I go to the gym or do any kind of formal training, I really don’t have the discipline for that, but I don’t mind taking walks, sometimes quite long ones. This started a few years back walking to work and then discovering lots of new things such as the CHAT Trust phoenix.

Whaling Stories
Songs About Whales And Whaling My Vocal friend Caroline published a story on whales that you can read below and it contains a poem and a trailer for “In The Heart Of The Sea”, and I thought maybe I could actually do a playlist of songs that have a whale or whaling connection.

Deep Observations
Silent Hunter, Ancient Relentless Killer Yes it’s an FLA as opposed to the rampant TLA )Five Letter Acronym as opposed to a three letter acronym) , but I went through a lot of permutations to come up with that one and probably someone far more intelligent and observant than I has already done it , but I did arrive at it under my own steam.

Feline Good
I am going to enter this in the Halo Collar and Vocal Challenge “Life Unleashed” because let's face it Cats are the most unleashed of our two main domestic pets. They are not dogs because they only tolerate humans until they develop opposable thumbs. I know this will be rejected from the challenge but I will enter anyway.

Beat The Bull
I work from home for an extremely excellent company, and that means I listen to a lot of music when I work. One of Vocal’s recent challenges was a short fiction about a raging bull, so in this I will include a scenario with my thoughts on bullfighting and similar “sports”. Killing animals for pleasure or fun is totally out of order in my opinion. If an animal, like say a fox, is threatening or killing domestic livestock it should be killed as humanely as possible , the same goes for all vermin.
