Hey Fortunato, we raised Blue Ticks and Red Bones when I was small.

There are also songs and rhymes about the man in the moon. Maybe we need a thread debating the ways to make green cheese, so we can gain a fuller appreciation of our solar system, and its music of the spheres. There many are areas of the moon that haven't been well explored yet, and just think of the possiblities for find many pockets of new and exciting kinds of cheeses. Maybe some will have longer and thinner holes than Swiss cheese and we can find cheap substitutes for the pipes in organs. We might be able to make an all natural organ by getting our 'air' supply from farting cats. [We'll have to re-engineer it, of course, to account for the difference of the velocity of sound in air and cat farts. Same problem with using cows for their pressurized methane. This would probably require too many cats for a long performance, and we'll probably have to stock up on frozen farts that can just be thawed as needed. Then we can kill the cats and use their guts in the string section.]

There were nine, nine constipated men on the Mudcat... musicologists who need proctologists!

You guys are having too much damn fun, and you ain't talking about folk music! Have yourselves shot.

Ol' Slew Foot is a great song about a bear, especially the part where it goes "And some people say he looks a lot like me."

I've always been fascinated with monkeys (mostly New World monkeys)

I want to see the monkeys first, Mom!

The animal I see most ALIVE are the squirrels at ECU. You have to be careful--those little buggers throw acorns at you! Also, I see a lot of dead racoons on the side of the road. Poor little critters...

I'm most interested in cats! Since we got our cat Boo three years, ago my family and I have turned into kitty cat junkies!

I'm bloody scared of jelly fish. I almost got stung by a 5 foot one when snorkeling, but I got away before it realized I was there. I came about a foot away from touching it. This was in Japan, BTW, so now I don't have to worry.

I've been bitten and scratched by my cat about a million times. Mostly it happens when I'm holding her and she gets scared, or she accidently cuts you when her claws are untrimmed;but once I teased her too much, and paid for it by a bit on the nose. Ouch!

I never had any dreams featuring animals, or at least any that I remember.

My Chinese animal symbol is a Stallion. My sign is Sagitarius. My great-grandfather was in the Italian Horse Cavalry. Coincidence? You make the call. Although my mothers maiden name means "parrot" in Spanish...

I am a West Highland Terrier. I yap ... a lot. I have a fun loving, cheerful disposition and a great deal of self esteem. I will some times foolishly take on larger dogs to my own detriment It would never occur to me that someone might not want to pet me. I am loving and loyall, but I am not at all subservient. I like to be outside in all weather. Unlike some other West Highland Terriers I know, I do not obssess about rocks in the backyard nor do I pee at the front door when I greet people.

Oh the bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see.

And considering that there are many traditional tunes dealing with animal spirits/animal etc, it may not be an inappropriate topic of discussion for this forum.

Oh dear! Oh dear!, where have you been? Take a look at the world around you and you will find many examples of folklore which ascribe animal attributes to humans. A search of Hotbot for "animal spirit" got me 39000 hits.

I guess from your type face that you are a pachyderm of some sort.

Cat, what else? Even my friends and family say so. In answer to your questions, though, I feel a keen kinship with ALL critters, before anything I feel for humankind.

What animal or bird has always fascinated you? Cats, all kinds and sizes. Red-tailed hawk; it's my totem animal according to one Native American astrological chart.

When you visit the zoo, which animal do you wish to see the most or first? Cats. Dolphins, seals, polar bears, elephants, oh hell, ALL of them! Although I hate to see them in a zoo, I know the breeding programmes are vital.

What animals do you see most frequently when you are out in nature? Cats. Antelope, deer, coyote, bald and golden eagles, praire dogs.

Of all the animals in the world, which are you most interested in now? Cats. Whales, dolphins, and the Kermode Bear on Princess Island.

What animal most frightens you? Rattlesnake, I guess, hadn't ever thought about because I've never met an animal I was frightened of, well, maybe my Trys if I don't get up and feed him breakfast!

Have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal? Had a cat latch onto my arm, full jaw clench, sunk in teeth and all when I was flea-bathing him in the tub and he got scared. Quite a site, me rising up in pain, screaming at my daughter to get him off, here's this 15lb Russian Blue tough guy, dangling, full body stretched out, from my right forearm! A tetanus shot and antibiotics and I was fine. Little bitty scars.

The other time was right after I broke up a dog fight involving my old dog, part pit bull and something else and a young, but fully grown yellow shepherd that was living with us at the time. While I was on teh kitchen floor looking over my dog for injuries the other got loose came running in and in the melee, it was my hand got ripped open. The companion of the shepherd, a Irish wolfhound was so worried about me, he was such a gentleman; followed me to the bathroom and gave me soulful love eyes. Luckliy I ahad just completed emt class and knew the proper way to take care of a dog wound. Usually they are so full of germs a doc will not stitch them up. They said I did such a good job of first letting it bleed freely,(took away lots of germs), then flushing it for a good ten minutes with cool water, then pressure bandage, that they went ahead and stitched it. Now, the scare just looks like part of my lifeline, probably added at least twenty years, so I can't complain!

Do you have dreams with animals in them or are there animal dreams you have never forgotten? Just had one with a cougar on a rock overlooking a trail I was on. Took as a warning to be careful in any plans for the future.

Me, I love dolphins, I'm quite calm, shy and quiet for most of the time though I can get noisy and excited. I once worked with Chimps for a while, now it's kids! Chimps are easier. My wife says I'm like a gorillar, strong, gentle and kind, keep away when I am cross or threatened or my family is. Me I think I look more like aan ape!! (With long hair, Not an Orang u tang though, my arms arn't long enough!) Eric.

.. of course even though I would describe myself as a Whippet, my wife might suggest that I am best described as a very different animal in deed; pig, comes to mind. In fact, I suspect she'd tell you that 'men are all pigs' - then I'd remind her that we had to work hard to get to that level!

I am a Whippet! A medium sized dog with springs in my legs! Loveable, fun loving, lean ... and a fierce hunter. I know I was born to kill fury little creatures, "I'll share this squirrel with ya."
