The Missing Person’s Department.
My cat is missing since yesterday. He went out in the late afternoon just before the rain started. It rained uninterruptedly for eight or nine hours and by the time I went to bed, he was not home yet. This morning when I woke up, he was still amiss.
This is completely out of character for him. Since I had him ‘fixed’, he has not slept out once. Before that, he was a bit of a stroller. He is notorious for stowing away in cars, and it is not inconceivable that he caught a plane. It is perfectly possible that he could find himself in the USA, Scotland or even somewhere in the East this morning. If you happen to see him, please tell him to come home. I’m sorry that I gave his food to the dog.
To assist you, I’m placing one of his baby snaps (they always get more sympathy), but bear in mind that he is about two years old now. He reacts to the name Monsieur which gives him a rudimentary knowledge of French, so he may even be in Paris.
He was last seen wearing a brown corduroy pants and a tweed jacket. He does hide behind sunglasses sometimes.
And while we’re on the topic, what happened to Virgo? Next month it will be a full year since I last saw him and he used to be a very regular blogger. Can anybody cast some light there?
Have a great day. I hope you have sunshine, we only have rain.

Snakes alive ! Jumping and not for joy.
All of the snakes I've ever seen in New Jersey are non-venomous.
I've seen quite a few garter snakes
and the much bigger northern banded water snake
I've read that the banded water snake bites can hurt quite a bit (pun intended),
but generally they are harmless.
New jersey does have some venomous snakes. But, in all my many outdoor travels
I've never seen one (knocking on wood).
But, the main one in my area is the northern copperhead. Not a snake I would like to pet.
Further south there are timber rattlesnakes, especially in the pinelands regions.
Although I've encountered a lot of snakes in Florida,
the only time I've ever actually been bitten by a snake, was in Maine of all places.
It was a 'harmless' garter snake. At the tender age of 7, it made me bleed and scared a mite,
but no real other damage.
The next time I encountered snakes was when I went to college out west in Kansas.
They had one of the few veterinary schools in the country and I originally decided to become a veterinarian. While in college I made a lot of friends out there, and had a lot of fun.
The gals all wore leather belts with their name on the back. It sure made introductions easy.
"Hey Sally, how have you been ?"
Since I was totally unfamiliar with the geography there, I had to rely on the locals for locations of interest. One time a friend recommended climbing a "mountain" to watch the sunset.
I was more than a bit skeptical, as Kansas has to be one of the flattest states in the USA.
Florida is another flat state. So anyway, 4 of us drove to this "mountain" together.
It wasn't a mountain, but it was a very large hill. It took us about an hour to get to the top
and at the top was a radio tower. So, crazy as it was, we climbed the radio tower too,
and then watched the sunset.
After climbing down the radio tower, one of us (not me) decided to challenge the other 3 to a race down the "mountain" and shouted "go". So all 4 of us ran down the mountain and on the way down we took somewhat different paths. At one point, I was running full speed and I came to a gully.
In it I noticed 8 coiled rattlesnakes resting on large flat rocks, peering up at me.
There was no stopping. I was going much too fast downhill.
If I tried to stop I'm sure I would have ended (in more ways than one) right in the gully on them.
So, thankfully, I instantly got the idea of jumping, as high, and as far, as I could.
It was the biggest jump I ever attempted. Literally, the jump of my life.
I sailed over the gully and watched the snake heads following the direction of my flight.
I landed beyond the gully on my feet, and continued running to the bottom of the "mountain"
with my heart beating extra fast from my encounter.
While I arrived first at the bottom, all 4 of us thankfully made it.
It was dark by the time we did.
One (not me) was bleeding from a tree branch. Crazy kids !

Men are like dogs...
Men are like dogs she said. Okay I agree.
Dogs live for the moment.
Thinking for tomorrow is too far away.
They eat when hungry.
Sleep when tired.
Chase females in heat.
Pee and poo when the urge arises.
She added... they chase females when they are not in heat!

The Funniest Wildlife Photos of 2022
The overall winner of this year’s competition, which saw 5,000 incredible entries, is Jennifer Hadley, for her perfectly timed photograph of a lion cub losing its grip on a tree trunk entitled ‘Not so cat-like reflexes.’ As the 2022 Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Jennifer won an African safari trip to Kenya. She also won the Affinity Photo Award and People’s Choice Award for her charming shot of two penguins. “I really love this photo contest because it’s just so different from anything else and really shows off the personalities of the animals,” says Jennifer.
ENJOY THE AWESOME PICS!
"TALK TO THE FIN"
"OUCH!" (Not so cat-like reflexes)

"HELP! SHE'S CHOKING ME."
"(ALMOST THERE) EXCUSE ME...PARDON ME!"
"LEMME SEE!"
"I BELIEVE I CAN FLY..."
"WHEEEEEE...!"

Welcoming actress Courtney Tailor...
CS has a new member... actress Courtney Tailor, who appeared in the 2016 movie Everybody Wants Some. Her real name is Courtney Taylor Clenney, born in Midland, Texas in 1996. She will turn 28 later this month. Not only is Courtney an actress, she's also a social media influencer. I'm impressed.
I'm not so much impressed that an actress would join CS, it's that 2 years ago, Courtney was arrested in Hawaii and charged with the murder for stabbing her boyfriend in South Florida.
Sniff, sniff... I can smell a rat.

Raccoons break into Bay Area bank

Two youths with bushy tails and black fur masks broke into a Bay Area bank via an air duct Tuesday. The intruders were shooed back onto the street and didn't abscond with any money.
The two juvenile raccoons were found by the Peninsula Humane Society inside the Redwood City bank as the Humane Society responded to a call from a man using the the ATM, who initially thought he was looking at a stuffed animal on top of a desk inside the bank. He then saw the animal move and realized he was staring directly at a live raccoon and called the Humane Society.
The bank was closed to the public at the time. The Peninsula Humane Society did not share the name of the bank where the break-in took place.
“The bank managers let our rescue staff into the bank, and after about 10 minutes of chasing the raccoons around the bank, we were finally able to safely shoo them outside. They apparently didn’t want to leave the bank,” said PHS/SPCA communications manager Buffy Martin Tarbox.
The two intrepid intruders left a telling trail as they breached the bank's exterior.
“There were muddy paw prints on a tree outside the bank, so we suspect the raccoons climbed the tree to the roof of the bank, and then somehow managed to crawl into the air ducts and fell through the ceiling tiles onto the floor of the bank,” Tarbox said. “There were several broken ceiling tiles, and the masked bandits knocked papers around and even a computer over. Thankfully, the raccoons were not injured during their morning escapade.”

Invasion Earth
My little apartment is being invaded and as it is, there is not enough space for me. The new invaders, mostly spiders and geckos are driving me up the bend.
I’m not scared of either of them but the geckos leave their droppings on my walls and the spiders spin their webs all over the show. Between removing cobwebs and cleaning my walls, I don’t get much chance do anything else. My sister said it happens every year about this time and the geckos are probably brought by the granadilla plant outside my bedroom window. This is why they do not let the flat to other people. A fine time to tell me about it!
Unlike mice, rats and roaches which I kill on sight, geckos and spiders are on my list of creatures that I don’t kill. Geckos, because I consider them harmless and spiders because they eat flies. Any creature prepared to follow a diet as humble as flies, deserves to live. But enough is enough! Anyway, they are at the wrong place because I seldom have a fly in my house.
But how do I get rid of them without using poison? I don’t like using poison and I fear that my cat may eat one of the poisoned geckos if I start a chemical war. Does this constitute weapons of mass destruction?
So for now I will try to tolerate them but knowing me as well as I do, I will soon get fed up and use action that is more drastic. Hopefully some of them have internet so they can read this blog and leave peacefully on their own accord. Or maybe somebody can reason with them? I would love to resolve this issue without violence.
Stay loose, it is weekend.
