What is Interesting to Us The kitties are mostly interested in being safe from strangers, and of course, food! How they love their roast chicken treat at suppertime! But if they knew about these sites, they would love you to visit them: The Cat Site - Everything you could ever want to know about cats. The Saga of the Invisible Gay Ceiling Kitties - A rescue story that you will find both moving and hilarious. Very worth a read. Phyl is interested in whatever the cats are interested in (naturally), but has a few interests on the side as well. The list could be endless, but here's a representative sample: Dr. Shaw's World Mythology - Myths all over the place! Any myths are interesting, but Phyl is most interested in Indian (as in from India), Celtic, Norse, Greek & Roman, Egyptian, and Akkadian/Sumerian. Cyndi's List - A link page to many hundreds of wonderful genealogy sites. Genealogy is one of the most fascinating pursuits, and finding your roots is very rewarding. Phyl always wished she had Scottish blood -- now she has at least two Scottish bloodlines. One of her ancestors was nicknamed "the Loyalist," which has implications involving the American Revolution. And of course there is the very long Mennonite line going back to Switzerland in 1737. (Try also Ancestry.com, one of the very best genealogy sites.) The Online Books Page - One of many sites where you can read entire books online. (Other examples: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare or Luminarium, with Medieval, Renaissance, and 17th Century writings.) What is Fun for Us The Cats find crinkle balls really really fun. And playing with Mom's foot at the edge of the bedcovers. And just let a couple of pigeons land on the balcony and it's Kitty TV! But they would probably love you to check out these sites too: Random Kitten Generator - Do not go here when you have something else important to do! MyCatHatesYou.com - For a distinct change of pace. Be warned that the text is awfully hard to read on some browsers, but the pictures say everything! Phyl, meanwhile, likes to play and have fun too. What sorts of things does she like? Digimon! - Yes, Phyl likes cartoons. Some of them, anyway, especially Animé cartoons. Her very favorite is Gundam Wing, but she also loves The Vision of Escaflowne. New England Patriots - Football! Yay! And after many years of cheering for them, the Patriots finally won the Super Bowl. Though how they can call themselves "world champions" when they played no world teams at all except other American teams -- well, needless to say, there is no logic to this. RecipeLand.com - Almost 50,000 recipes for Phyl to experiment with! She's learning to cook all sorts of great things, but her very favorite foods are Greek and Indian. Have a gander at the best recipe in the world: Butter Chicken. What's Important to Us The kitties would like you to pay attention to the following sites. Because the most important thing in the world is to be sure kitty-cats are well taken care of. Plants Poisonous to Cats - What to watch out for; be sure to follow the link at the bottom of the page to find out which plants are okay. Pet Care Insurance - Yes, you can actually get health insurance for your pets. It is well worth it. You might also try Pet Plan if you can get the site to load. Each company has slightly different plans, so you will probably find one or the other has the right plan for your little one. Phyl considers these things very important. Please have a look at them. Bridges Across the Divide - To quote their own Mission Statement: "Bridges-Across is a cyberspace initiative providing models and resources for building respectful relationships among those who disagree about moral issues surrounding homosexuality, bisexuality and gender variance." Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays - The Canadian branch of the support organization for those of us who are related to gays and lesbians, or who have great friends who are gay or lesbian. Depression Information and Support - A page of links to some vital information and help sites. Failure is Impossible - Commentary, sites, books, and letters about the alarming nature of the current American political situation. Dale Spender - Phyl's favorite Feminist in the world. And especially check out Women of Ideas and What Men Have Done to Them - A summary of Spender's great book, and information about all the women whose lives she documents in it.
