Sure why not. I don’t participate in enough cat content these days.

A warning though: I go off the reblogged topic a bit.

One of our cats is named Betty White. Her brother Captain Morgan also lived with until he died a few years ago.

Zombie isn’t related to Captain and Betty, but we got her around the same time, while my wife worked at a veterinary clinic in Philly. Zombie was found with puncture wounds in her skull and chin — she had nearly had her head bitten off. She looked like a Zombie for a while, and the name stuck.

Captain Morgan and Zombie Cat napping together years back.ALT

We also got Sir Bartholomeow Specknose the Third around that time, but alas, we lost him about 4 years ago.

All were “failed” fosters we could never let go of.

You should try fostering. You never know. You may get lucky and fail at it.

Perhaps journalism can learn from the mistakes of the food industry, which bred a perfectly red, flawless-looking tomato, giving the edge to looks over taste, since that’s what consumers were buying.

Redesigns focusing on side doorweb traffic will all be for naught if the product in that shiny new package…

Stacey Higginbotham of GigaOm:

Instead the trials of 300 GB per month limits in select areas have been called both a “data threshhold,” and now a “flexible data consumption plan,” that Comcast wants people to know are in trial mode only.

And if the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger doeslead to data caps for 79% of U.S. Broadband subscribers, that’s…
