Much Love everybody,

Hmmm ... always wondered why I liked dogs more than cats

[ulli]

It's a Libra thing....love me, please please!!!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall....
I'm sure all cat's are Libra in essence...
Just look at how they walk....

Meanwhile dogs are Aries...they are hyper, demanding, pushy, noisy,
idealize their masters, and hunt in packs.
Oh, and they smell bad.....

Hey there Saturn ... I have been keeping two stray cats alive for about 6 months now without once even being able to get close enough to pet them.

When I talk sweet to them they rub their backs on the tires of my vehicle ... and that's enough gratitude for me

And parrots are the Aquarians noisily commenting on the hilarity of the situation.

(Or is that Gemini?)

Thanks, Ulli.
I decided to stop the research and add a larger version for anyone interested. All the links lead back to “Wheel of Emotions” @ Imgur.com. While I was there I found one on Writer’s Block. I’ll add in a second post. It'll take a couple of minutes because that's how Avalonian computer system works.

This diagram is basic. I followed their web address, "nybookeditors.com". It offers ten areas of writing tips.

You need to make a wiggly toy...get a small bead, pass some fishing line through it and tie it.
Then tie that to a short stick ...no longer than 20"....

Lay the bead on the ground in front of the cats and start moving it back and forth...
let the cats chase it for a few minutes each day.

My three cats were all street cats, totally traumatized,
and all took quite a while to develop the trust.
Feeding alone is not enough, although it means they will always show up.

But if you become their playmate then you add some fun to their lives,
and thats how they will become cuddly.

Well I only see them when opening the garage on my way to work (they *know* when that is ...).

I'll be sure to keep that in mind when calling in late to work


"Sorry boss ... need a little quality bonding time" ... no doubt they would all understand ...

Cats and dogs are a perfect representation of the meaning behind "Service to self" and "Service to others," in my opinion.

Let's also not forget what Simon Parkes has to say about cats having to do with Reptilians...

Truth be told I would have fed them regardless ... but Simon's comment about cats always had a strange "itchy" spot in the back of my head and I think of it often.

What does Simon Parkes say? (But then again, I might be better off not knowing).

[Flash]

Cats: They have been tweaked in part with reptilian genes, (mammalians with parts reptilians) therefore their eyes and some behaviors. That is what Simon Parkes said.

I do not think it changes much whatever we feel about them, still furry pretty lively beings.

If I understand the inuendo, cats would be service to self and dogs service to others, ain't it?

This is usually what we think, like cats love being with us because they take us as cats, while dogs think they are themselves humans, when with humans for a long time.

Well, I was very surprised this week when my little tiny 9 pounds female cat ran toward the built boy I was brawling with (having fun). She thought I was being attacked and ran towards him to jump and tare him apart, protecting me. I saw it just in time and cooled her off. This was service to others (to me this situation).

[ulli]

I'm wondering what genes I have been tweaked with...
Naa, I seriously doubt it matters.
What matters is live and let live, give each other plenty of space...
hey, there is always more space, if you know how to look....

My problem is that neighbor's dogs are hounding me...yes, hounding.
They would even prefer to share a home with three cats than stay with their current owners ...

I dearly love all animals and cats make me always smile. And dogs? Well, let's just say that my dog was and is my best depression medicine.

Also, considering how clingy, needy and dependent dogs are I would not consider them STO,
except for dogs trained to lead the blind.
Cats bring a special vibe of coziness to a home...thus earning their keep.

ok, I sometimes have to do that, Ulli, I learned a new word in my English vocabulary, thanks to you

tr.v. hound·ed, hound·ing, hounds
1. To pursue relentlessly and tenaciously. See Synonyms at harass.

Thank you...and I agree. My heart aches when I think of all domestic animals....
here where I live they suffer terribly.
All the foreigners who come to live in Central America become rescue agents for abandoned animals...
and the worst part is that the abandoned ones often have the better deal.
Street dogs in small towns are often quite fat; they know where all the butcher shops are and line up for their meals.
The ones in captivity are nearly always mistreated...
One sees such lonely dogs here, in front yards, in small cages, and even then on a chain.
It's really awful, I don't know the answer.

"Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now.

Let it teach you Being.

Let it teach you integrity — which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real.

Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying into a problem."

Hello Village-
I am here lurking, catching up, and very much enjoying the shared Fall themed verses. As I continue my stroll through the pages of the Village, I'd like to contribute some more Fall foliage to the village landscape. This is a poem I wrote 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant with my first child-- apparently my poetic voice knew more about the inner-workings of my body than my I did...lol.

Written October 10, 2004
Harvesting Autumn in a Word Basket

Only in Autumn do leaves fade into Brilliance-
Each leaf unique, devoid of being purely green.

It is in Autumn a bountiful harvest is celebrated—
Hand-woven baskets overflow with tree-ripened apples,
Indian corn ready to have its colorful kernels popped,
and a variety of gourds that amuse in both their shapes and names.

The Day of the Dead is acknowledged by pumpkins carved
with faces, both light-heartedly mocking and menacing,
displayed in warm soft-lit neighborhood windows.
As the lights from these shallow-shelled lanterns glow-
passerbys ponder what constitutes the soul.

Couples are seen walking, along maple and oak tree-lined streets-
snuggly bound in coordinating woolen sweaters, knit hats, and flannel-lined pants,
still seeking out warmth by holding hands.

A crisp breeze tickles and burns only their cheeks,
Because the tips of their noses are already numb.
Their nostrils still functioning, inhale the Essence of Fall,
an arid elixir of decaying leaves and clear star-nighted brightness.
It instantly intertwines with their innermost membranes,
carried through their nasal passageways, down through the throat, finally settling a flaming chill deep within their chests.

Together the walkers’ shuffling feet and dried leaves meet into a rhythmic rustle.
Throughout Autumn—
Leaves continue to fall off of branches, seeming so high they touch the clear-blue in the sky, dancing with the wind even after they settle to their places on the ground.

The amber-hued Earth is undressing herself during this time of withering fruitfulness— Preparing for the penetration of life still two seasons away.

More than that ..

Cannot quote from a "members only" thread ... but paraphrasing from memory (feeble that it may be) is the Reptiles were quite partial to cats and Simon took particular note of that ...

(actually I believe it was in one of his vids so that would be available to post if any cat lover feels so inclined as to go through them all and find it).
