Cats can see colors and see flat images. Dogs can't. Cats can watch TV and see what's happening on the screen.
There is one grammatical rule in the English language with no exceptions; that rule IS itself an exception!
"Heeeere, kitty, kitty" is "minou, minou, minou" in French and is "mis, mis, mis" in Spanish. In Sweden, it's "kisss, kisss, kisss, kisss." Oh, well. (I asked an Irish friend how they called cats in Ireland. She looked at me blankly and said "Call a cat? Can you? Do they really come?")
There are 8 oz in a cup, 2 tablespoons per ounce and three teaspoons per tablespoon. So, there are 48 teaspoons in a cup. If you want to know.

John C. Crapper invented the tolit. That's why they were called crappers for a whlie. A gal I knew who was a jerpardy nut told me that. Be thankful too or else we'd still be using chamber pots.

Did you know that shadows have colors? The color of a shadow is the complement of the light that produced it..If the light is red, the shadow is green, if the light is yellow, the shadow is purple..ect. we normally are exposed to sunlight which is almost white...therefore the color of the shadow in normal sunlight is almost black.
