"Velo" is good because that means bicycle in French.

-Sonarrat.

Perhaps your dog is cute, but is your dog as cute as the puppies on the
Puppy Channel?

Don't know if it is my favorite, but I always thought Ned Overend was a good
(fun) name for a mtn biker. That's what happens when you find yourself on
the wrong side of an escarpment... End-over-end-over-end...

Cat Stories... I'll keep it brief. I had two cats, Bill and Ted, Ted
is still alive and getting fat in Michigan with my parents. They
never responded to names, but were well acquainted with:

A) Door opening (usually front, when I got home, their cue to
terminate their mischief immediately and hide.)
B) Can being opened
C) Motorized squirt gun (used to break up fights, get them off table,
etc.)
D) Treat tin

Anything else is pretty much typical "do as I please" cat behavior
(though I do remember a friend training a cat to fetch!)

Despite all the cute junk I see in papers and magazines about people
taking animals on bikes and motorcycles, I found trying to transport
and un-caged cat on a bike a harrowing experience.

Cats can be trained to go for walks with you as well. I woldn't have
believed that but I knew some people who lived on a boat who trained their
cats that way. First they would put a leash on them and there was a lot of
pulling. But after awhile the cat would get the idea and then walk right
along with them.

Some breeds of cats do this almost instinctually.

Some cats really like going for rides while others are terrified. Winston is
of the later leaning.

But not nearly as satisfying to say.

translation of "Lubberding" should be?

I've had plenty of cats over the years that would respond to their
names. But I can tell you with complete certainty that snakes don't respond
to their names. So I don't name 'em unless I have to take one to the vet.
(They always want a name...)
