. . . to all who have commented and emailed with no response. I've been in an odd and reclusive mood for some time now; almost non-verbal. I haven't even been reading your blogs, which is very unusual for me.
But today I begin to emerge. Please forgive, and don't hesitate to remind me of any continuing oversights.

Hanan sent me this, special delivery:
Cats and . . . has an orange tabby and a grey tabby, just like mine -- except hers have tails:
Then there's this (via MetaFilter -- great comment thread on this with lots more links):
Do not miss Cat Lap Dance (flash, via MonkeyFilter)
Toast lands on the butter & jelly side; cats land on their feet. When you strap buttered toast to a cat and drop it, what happens? via Google Blogoscoped
Also via Google Blogoscoped, Katzencontent ("cat content"), a regular feature in German blogs.
Pets In Uniform via Look At This
Best of all, this free screen cleaner, via lots of folks, but sent especially to me by Ivy and someone else, but who, who was it?? Where is my brain??
Some of it (my brain) got lost doing this. Cats, you want CATS?!? You say you want to learn about code and stylesheets and why- things- don't- work?? [Thank you Joe, and Belinda ; remaining flaws are down to me.]
This week's Carnival of the Cats; Friday Ark; Carnival of the Dogs

I found this meme at chanticleer and Big Window -- Eduardo says:
Every poet I know carries around a notebook to jot down ideas, images, bits of interesting data. I've always wanted to take a peek inside another poet's notebook. So I'm asking other bloggers to post a page from their notebooks on their blogs.
Here is this poet's notebook, the most recent pages and a shot of the cover, with the stick I was trying to draw:
You can see the poem that came out of these jottings here.
Eduardo has a long list of poets who have posted either pictures or out- takes of their notebooks -- he is overwhelmed with the html to link them all, and I've nothing better to do and an easy interface, so I shall do it here:

If I have missed anyone, and as there are additions, please let me know and I'll add them to the list. This was a great idea!
Monday, 10 January: I am adding Bookworm -- a nice meditation on paper writing and notebooks, independent of the meme. And another addition below -- keep telling me, and I'll keep adding:

Finally, a blog contest I might win! Lauren is doing the Feministe Anti-Awards, a game of speed and wit, and preferably a boatload of pictures.
I am entering in the "Prettiest Cat" category, and can't lose. Looky here:
So, there!!
***********************************************
Ooops. That was "The Prettiest CAR" category.
Never mind.
