This story appeared in the Daily Mail about an intrepid Norwegian Forest Cat defending his yard from this red fox. The fox appears not to be taking any chances. There’s more to the story here.
My Sammy (Cmdr. Samuel Vimes) is a Maine Coon and he has a more outgoing personality. I found in once him in the backyard trying to play with an opossum. Not smart – no damage, however. For this reason (and others), Sammy now dominates the house, but not the yard or the neighborhood.
Bonus Sappy Cat -Jill appears to know that her owner is going away for the weekend – and has plans to tag along.

Today is the birthday of Jim Henson, creator of the Muppets.
Henson’s creative genius brought to the television screen the Sesame Street characters and the Muppet Show and he created films such as the Muppet Movies and the Dark Crystal. Henson would have been 77 today.
Here are some Muppet tattoos:
And my favorite:

Cats and knitting.
And my push-me pull-you, 2-headed cat – Sam-Murphy.
They are also “helping” me quilt.

Koko and her kitten
Koko is the gorilla who was taught American Sign Language by researcher Dr. Penny Patterson. Koko is particularly fond of kittens. The connection is another gorilla story. Glenn Cravath (American artist 1897-1964) was born this day. He is the artist for the book cover for King Kong, published in 1932, and for comic strip style advertisements for the movie based on the book. The film was released in 1933 with Fay Wray playing the hapless bride. A remake was done in 2005, starring Naomi Watts as the female lead and Jack Black as King Kong (no, that’s not right.)

We are on the road – west coast this time. This afternoon we spent some time poking around in the tide pools at Bean Hollow State Beach. Saw crabs in many colors, large and small, limpets, hermit crabs, cormorants, grebes, etc. It was foggy, but fun.
Look how it cleared up by the time we got to Big Sur.
This is a wonderful trip, needless to say.
