Animal Trivia:

What's the name of Jack Lalanne's dog?

Go to the end of the
newsletter for the answer.

The "Dog" in American English.

The word "dog" is used in so many expressions and idioms in America, that it is truly amazing! Sometimes the slang is regional to a specific part of the United States. Occasionally, expressions have originated in other coutries and have come to mean something totally different here.

Do you know what all of these mean?

Cattails

Singapura Cats : They might "drain" you!

The bad pun above comes from the theory that this breed of cat originated in the drains of Singapore, and they definitely need the attention of people!

Sepia Agouti! No - this is not a command to bark at someone. It is merely the designation of the acceptable color for this breed. This translates to "dark brown ticking on a warm old ivory ground color".

Yes - controversy exists over the origins of the breed - but these gorgeous and delicate looking cats don't know that. Pura's are extremely loveable. Owners of these cats simply can't imagine NOT ever having one of them around. Perhaps no longer considered rare, they are still not available in great numbers - so their owners do feel priveledged.

See the wonderful Singapura cats on BreedersClub.net!

"There is something about the presence of a cat...
that seems to take the bite out of being alone."
