Ceiling Cat is Black

Yeah, I'm sick of prejudice against black cats. I'm gonna take it on. Power to the people!

I started a blog called CeilingCatIsBlack.blogspot.com.  (Wow, why does my Mac try to change "blogspot" to "bloodspot"?

Anyway, I've got two stories up there. One about a little blind kitten named Homer, who chased away an intruder. The other about a black cat named Brutus, who was a fighter pilot!

THE BRIDE DANCES WITH CELEBRITY

The pale woman's flowing white gown dragged across the marble floor. Her wiry black hair, bound up in a strange cone-like style, was shot through with two streaks of white which had been fashioned into lightning bolts. Outside, the lashing rain made the afternoon gray and dangerous. The woman lurched to the reception desk.

"Welcome to Forever Pretense, Los Angeles' Premier Beauty Destination!" the receptionist chirped. "How may I help you?"

"How beautifully dramatic!" the woman said conversationally, looking out the window. Lightning flashed, bright, as if someone had momentarily switched on a strobe light, and a clap of thunder shook the building. The customer smiled, exposing a collection of yellow teeth that seemed not to match each other. "The cruelest savage exhibition of nature at her worst!"

"It certainly is unusual to see weather like this inL.A.!" the receptionist agreed, her smile undimmed. "What can we do for you today?"

"I am here for a Transformation!" The woman raised her arm high and lighting struck as she spoke. Thunder rolled.

"Whew!" The receptionist leaned over and looked outside. "That sounded close!" She turned back to the customer. "A makeover, did you say? Wonderful! May I ask your name, please?" (click on "Read more" below to ....read more:)

Who's better, cats or dogs?

Short answer: Cats.

Long answer: Cats are better, let me count the ways....eight.

I shall think of one more; there should be nine, since cats have nine lives. That doesn't logical sense, but it is 2:16 in the morning, so close enough.

Here are some comments on 8 Reasons Why Cats Are Better than Dogs, which I've published on HubPages.

"Hilarious! My wife and I laughed so loud our cat ran out of the room. She's a scaredy-cat (but good with bears). Voted up and funny, and shared."

"Thanks for the humorous hub. Cats are the best."

Come learn SEO with me

I'm getting serious about becoming a writer full time, which means I need to learn about SEO. Google is always trying to rank up quality content while ranking down spammy, duplicative, crap, so I'm happy with that. I'm all about quality content. For me, SEO isn't about tricking the search engines. It's about knowing what the heck I'm doing.

People shouldn't have to search so hard to find my stuff

Serpie the Spider is a cute little spider who's learning SEO with me. He's got his own blog!

www.SerpieTheSpider.com

It's pretty rudimentary, but might be worth checking out. I've also got a new Mac, so as I learn how to do simple, basic stuff on it, I'm blogging about it there too.

Twitch and the Case of the Missing Snuggles

Another tandem story written by Chris Hugh and the Anchorite

The Case of the Missing Snuggles

[Chris wrote this part]

Mr. Kitten lay on the top tier of his sand-colored cat tree. The clear light from the skylight played in his dark fur, turning it a soft brown. He listened with his eyes closed as Twitch tore through the house screaming. Twitch finally ran into the craft room, paused, gagged and threw up on the floor. Then he rolled on his back, grabbed his tail, let it go and moaned. “I’m gonna die.”

Kitten softly leaned his head over the edge of the cat tree. He opened an eye. “What’s wrong?”

“I need snuggles right now!”

Kitten took a deep breath and rolled his eyes. “Well, alright, come up here if you must and I’ll—“

“Not your snuggles! I need Chris’ snuggles! She’s been gone forever!”

“It hasn’t been forever.”

“It has, it has!” Twitch cried, rolling on the ground in misery. “She’s been gone forever! She’ll never come back! What am I gonna do?”
