Ha! Ha! You fund some pretty interesting info there Jo-anne!...Now here's some for you: On some days I move slower than a snail; Vintage Port matures much faster than me; I think I could give a lungfish a 'run for his money' with the suspended animation thing; I wish I was a Starfish...I need some new limbs; and while a tiger's paw prints are called 'pug marks', my bear's paw prints are called 'Wug marks'!! LOL
How about that... I love all this trivia... I never knew my cat had that many muscles in his ear! Have a great day!
lol Poetess.
Leslie, I didn't know that about my cats either. We both learnt something new today :)
