I guess that means it's my turn again..


The cats sometimes like to chase these when they see them hopping around out in the yard, but they usually get away.

I looked on her profile just now and am pretty sure i got it right. So i'm gonna go.

Fill in the blanks (all the same thing in the blanks) on this fable written by a French poet:

As fine a dish of mischief as one might hope to see, A ________ and a cat, lived in their master's dwelling In awe of not one soul, whoever it might be. The cat, named Mouser, wasn't one that needed belling, For he would rather steal a cheese than catch a mouse, While Bertrand, the sly ________, was a snatch-and-grabber. Indeed, if anything was missing in the house They were the guilty ones and not some sneaky neighbor. One day as they lolled by the hearth these rascal brothers Decided that they should acquire Some of the chestnuts they saw roasting in the fire, A deed that, as it profited them and injured others, They found twice as appealing. "Mouser, now's the time, Old pal," said Bertrand, "to use your mastery in crime. Get me those chestnuts. If God had Outfitted me with claws I would of course aspire To pull those chestnuts from the fire, But he did not. So it is up to you, my lad." His words were scarcely out before the ________ saw The cat extend a careful paw And whisk away some ashes, instantly withdraw, Then do the same, repeatedly, To pull the chestnuts out, first one, then two, then three, Which Bertrand ate as this went on. A servant with a broom arrived And, whoosh! the two of them were gone, Though Mouser,we are told, felt ill-used and deprived.

No different are the princes of those smaller lands Who, hoping to please their greater neighbors, Do their hot jobs but for their labors Get nothing more than well singed hands.

Whoever wants to give me a gift this time may have to do a little research..


I was listening to this song a little while ago, while sharing my bed with one of the cats of course, and I love it, and it gave me an idea for my next gift. But I kind of doubt anyone else on here has heard this song or even know of it (but maybe I'm wrong). Anyways.. both of the blanks are the same word. AND, it's not the exact word that's in the gifts, but it has the same number of letters and is the same thing.. just different words. Some of you may get it just by looking at it a little.



[ With eyes that watch the _ _ _ _ _
And my name like a shadow
On the face of the moon

Broken mirror, a million shades of light
The old echo fades away
But just you and I
Can find the answer
And then, we can run to the end of the _ _ _ _ _ ]
