Our TV Watching Cat

Now maybe some of you have animals that do this but I never have…and I've had lots of pets in my life time.

Our little cat, Uku has recently decided that the TV is a pretty interesting thing. She seems to really like sports. I guess it's because of the fast moving action across the screen that catches her eye, or something like that.

Here's a picture of what really got her interested inTV, the Olympics.

Her favorite seems to be Bobsleding and Ice Hockey. Although most anything that has a lot of movement will get her attention.

Anyone else have a pet that like to watch TV?

It’s Time to Tell

Well, I think I can go ahead and mention a new project that I’ve been working on. I’ve put togeher a little company called Silver Lining Ideas, www.silverliningideas.com , with the intent to make iPhone/iTouch applications that will help benefit animal rescue.

Just the other day after a couple of months of work, we finally sent our first app to Apple for approval. The app is called Rescue Cleaner and it should be live in the Apple App Store around the 28th of September. Here is the promo write up that will be on the apps Apple webpage -


Is your iPhone/iTouch screen dirty? Then Rescue Cleaner is the app for you!
Rescue Cleaner has lots of dogs just waiting to help clean your screen. You can have Fargo the Landseer Newfoundland, Tina the Golden Retriever, Woody the Greyhound or any of the other dogs clean your screen. Just select one and watch them go to work cleaning your screen.
Best of all, while you watch one of Rescue Cleaner’s dogs clean your iPhone/iTouch screen, you can feel good knowing that you just helped an animal find a new home! A portion of the proceeds from Rescue Cleaner are sent to animal rescue groups, helping them find animals new loving homes.
Features:
> Benefits Animal Rescue.
> Real drool used by the dogs to help clean the screen.
> Choose from 6 different dogs:
        Fargo – Landseer Newfoundland
        Claribelle – Springer Spaniel
        Woody – Greyhound
        Hyde – Newfoundland
        Ursa – Great Pyrenees
       Tina – Golden Retriever
> Looks cool!

Note: No animal was harmed in any way during the making of this application. The animals are not actually touching your screen and the drool used in production of the videos will not cause water damage to your device.

Here’s a clip of a couple of cleaners working together (which are Fargo and Ursa) -

As noted, a portion of all proceeds go to help various animal rescue groups, so please be sure to let all your friends know to keep a look out in the Apple App Store around September 28th.

I just recieved this email:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,

Wanted to let you know that the Bobcat is back on Citation Dr. again. It is feeding under my birdfeeder again, and has been seen by the corner of Whirlaway and Harwich.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And as most of you are thinking, so what you guys live in the country. There are probably Bobcats all over the place. And you would be right, except this email came from my mother who lives here -

Dang near in the middle of Dallas Texas. Just goes to show you that nature will adapt to whatever enviroment they have to to live.
