These are fun to print out and hang on the wall, on a telephone pole, or stick up in the post-office when everyone is busy and not looking!
One of the problems I have is that my big old computer desk, which is a real dinosaur, sits next to a window. The windowsill is very popular with all the cats here. To get up there, first they jump upon my desk, and then walk over the keyboard, and finally climb up onto the windowsill.
It can be a real railroad track of cats. Of course, they always want to stop directly in front of the monitor on their journey!
Sometimes my patience runs out, and I just have to move them myself!
P.S. I changed my name: I am now “the blogger formerly known as greg1948” or “greg-in-washington”. Also the president of China actually visited here this week! We were expecting a knock on the door but it never came. Zeke is making a protest flag!
Sunday is National Pet Memorial Day. Verty, Peep, and Gracie are buried in the backyard. They used to be my family of three cats. They were great friends. It is hard to believe they are gone now. I am glad I have many photographs. Their stories can be read here.
This post is about preparing for emergencies–primarily for your cats! It needed an update and rewrite, so here it is!
Everyday on the television news, we see films of natural disasters. We see hurricanes. We see tornadoes. We see floods. We see earthquakes and tidal waves and war. We see failed nuclear power reactors spewing radiation. We see volcanos erupting. Wherever you live, there is something that could happen to you. Some disasters are more likely than others in the area where you live.
Where I live, the largest threats are earthquake or volcanic eruption. There is a risk when living within sight of a dormant volcano. The volcano in my neighborhood is Mount Rainier. It is 14,411 feet high.
