Oh, and some bats, in Houston, freaked out when Daddy Kiril tried to inquire about cats.
Seen and Heard 31: This is Just Batty!
And, finally, I did something I have never done before. Don't ask me to explain it!
****UPDATE - Monday Evening****
FROM Daddy Kiril:
Agree, or disgree, with his politics, we all share one thing in common with radio legend Rush Limbaugh; a love of cats.
On his 8/16 show: "I would not have been able to describe this or tell you about this any earlier than today literally without losing it, but we had to put Punkin to sleep a week ago. She was 16 years old, and the first cat that I'd ever had, and ended up being the best pet that I've ever had. I'd always thought that cats were these aloof creatures that couldn't care less if you were around or not. And to strangers and so forth, they might be. But when a cat attaches to you, some might say when a cat loves you, it's entirely different."
Full transcript, here: Punkin Limbaugh, RIP (With photos) (Punkin Photo Album)
****END UPDATE****

You are welcome Caren, my friend.
I've heard of Barkworld. Maybe next year.
I am going to try to attend the Cat Writers' Association Conference in October, though.
