OF COURSE, IT MIGHT BE that I just got done writing a novel about one, but now, I'm seeing cats every where. Cats buried in snowbanks, sliding down hills, cleaning houses, listening to music, showing up outside a guy's window during the polar vortex, and even werewolf cats! I don't know about you, but I think the Criminal might be right, and that someday, cats are gonna take over the world, and we're gonna end up being their food. I've got no proof. It's just a feeling, but if there's one nearby, just read that last part out loud and see what they do. That's all the proof I need, but it's not that important anyway, because we'll all be long gone before that happens. Maybe our great, great, great, great grandkids will have to worry about it, but we won't. Anyway, after I finished my novel, I wondered how many other authors used the talking cat trick, and surprisingly enough, not too many did. The only one I could really remember was the Cheshire Cat from Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I did a web search and ran across a website, GoodReads.com, that had a webpage listing 118 books about talking cats. The list is called, Forget Meow! - Talking Cats in Fiction... MORE SuperGIRL? Shouldn't that be SuperWOMAN? 2019-01-20 05:54 PM PDT 
BACK IN THE SIXTIES when I was just a young pup, Supergirl was my first crush. What the hell, I was just a kid, but I still like the fact that the woman could kick some ass just like her male cousin, and she's even beaten him a time or two. Thinking about that got me wondering, why Supergirl instead of Superwoman? Why is she called a girl, while her cousin is called a man? I mean, come on, they didn't call Wonder Woman, Wonder Girl, did they? Although, I do wonder how that would've went over? I don't follow the comic world as closely as when I was a kid, so I have no idea if they even care, but it was brought up in the first Season of the Supergirl TV series starring Melissa Benoist as my first crush come back to life. In the series, Calista Flockhart, playing the owner of an immense Newspaper Empire, Cat Grant, is the one who names her. She also just happens to be Supergirl's boss. The idea doesn't sit well with Kara Danvers, Supergirl's secret identity, and she even ask her why Supergirl? Why not Superwoman... MORE Who's AmyStrange? 2014-04-06 02:07 PM PST 
THE FIRST QUESTION most people have is, what's this "AmyStrange" website all about? The second is, who's AmyStrange? There should be a picture of her on the left. AmyStrange, as you can see, is a cat, but to Dave, she's been his best friend for over ten years. That's longer than I've known him. Cats, at one time or another, have been considered everything from Gods, to witch familiars, to the serial killers of the animal world. AmyStrange would probably describe herself as a psycho cat, but she was also "Bitten by the curiosity of everything UNeXpLaiNed". I'm not sure what exactly Dave means by "bitten". I'm guessing he was bitten by AmyStrange and now he's twisting that around to make his arguement. What's sad is that this is all he's gonna contribute to the homepage. He says he's too busy proofreading everything I'm writing. He says this while shaking his head sadly. I wouldn't be surprised if he proofread this part out, but what the hell, sometimes he can do some funny stuff, and that's being nice... MORE
