My last request is if I die before my cat, i want some of my ashes put into his food so i can live inside him.
(the quote is from a movie star...but I like the sentiment)

One Adventure Ends...Another Begins
This has been a great adventure.
Not only can I create actively in the human world, I can go far beyond my physical boundries and be anywhere and everywhere.
Here's my take on this last part:
I've tapped into YouTube before but did more with it because of this project.
It is great for checking out fun stuff like cat videos and cool music....but its also a great resource for information when you're trying to learn more about history and events.
(Did you know cats were considered Gods in Ancient Egypt?
With all humility I believe we still are.)
I found Podcast Alley and had to stroll down it.
Such strange and wonderful audio experiences I found!
You can listen to a cat purr (good for soothing upset creatures), hear humans talk on and on about stuff they are expert in and stuff they know nothing about.
What technical wizardry!
Anyone can podcast!
I did learn one amazing fact- in Toyko there is a cafe where the customers can interact with the resident cats. (litter boxes are discretely hidden). Local laws don't allow pets to live with people in many of the residential areas so they come to the cafe to get their daily minimum dose of feline affection. They said the bulk of the customers are women and children.
OK....so whats up with the guys in Toyko? Afraid to show their softer side?
Digital media is great for many patrons.
I looked up cats and got Cats Cradle by Vonnegut.
(one of my favorite books by my favorite author!!) so I downloaded it.
Now it is great to have audio books so available, but you have to stay near your computer to hear it. and my human likes to listen while driving. I am not sure this would help her any.
Another objection I have is when a human is reading a book, it is a cats duty to push their way between the book and the reader. Sitting in front of the speaker just isn't the same.
And as a farewell note to the 23 Things adventure, I'd like to say thank you.
I never would have created my own blog if you'd not challenged me to do so.
I wouldn't have met so many other bloggers who share common ground with this fabulous feline. In short I would have missed out on a lot of great entertainment and friends.
I appreciate the opportunity.
I enjoyed del.icio.us (it is!!!), reading and adding to WIKI's, creating some fancy stuff in ZOHO and watching all those other puss faces who parade across YouTube.
Its been lots of fun.
And now I am going to really take over this blogger stuff and blaze my cattitude across cyberspace!!!!

Web 2.0 Awards List
I never dreamed there were so many cool tools available. It's going to take me a while to try them all. But for starters Del.icio.us is the easiest bookmarking I've set my paws upon. A tap of the key and something is mine! Cool!!
WorldCat (oh my, what a delightful name) is great. I can look up a book even if I don't have all the information about it. Reference librarians must LOVE this one when they get those millions of questions about books!
Parking search was strange. Humans actually pay money to park? I just sit down and that is that.
I checked for cat speak in Mango languages but it wasn't listed. They are missing a large audience with that omission.
I'm Cooked- recepies for cooking! If I'd been able to find cat fud recipies I'd have printed them out and put them on my humans pillow.
Color blender- you get to mix pigments to make new colors. I found a whole bunch of new ideas the humans could use to paint their houses. This wouls be a great tool in the childrens room to teach colors. Really cool!
There's a lot more...and I'll check them out later. Try some on yourself! Its lots of fun!!!

Zoho story- Cats ARE Special!
Adam said, 'Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day, but now I don't see you any more. I'm lonely, and it's difficult for me to remember how much you love me.'
And God said, 'No problem! I will create a companion for you who will be with you for ever, and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you can remember my love even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish, or childish, or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself.'
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam, and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in your Kingdom, and I cannot think of a name for this new one.'
And God said, 'No problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name shall be a reflection of my own name: and you will call him DOG.'
And Dog lived with Adam, and was a companion to him, and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content, and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam's Guardian Angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock, and believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well.'
And the Lord said, 'No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him for ever, and who will see him as he is. This companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not always worthy of adoration.'
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility. And God was pleased.
And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog was happy. And Cat did not give a damn one way or the other.

PBCLS WIKI
The sandbox is interesting- like reading the top ten lists Letterman did.
Entertaining.
But more important as an information sharing medium it's purrfect.
Get the word out, and the sky is the limit of the brain storming that could be accomplished.
Many potential uses- but the public/employees/etc all need to be aware of its existence.
It's a small kitten that may grow up to be King of the Jungle!

WIKI is like petting a kitty
WIKI really reminds me of petting a kitty. It gives you a chance to do something that is appreciated by someone else (sharing information or extending your perceptions). In return you get to review the thoughts and perceptions of others which may assist you in formulating or expanding your own. Both you and the kit benefit!
Their use in libraries could be endless, but I'm going to focus on just one- the youth services and young adult departments.
This would make planning a talent show or producing a play SO much easier. Coordination is instantly updated and new ideas shared immediately. You could publish the script and get feedback from all quarters- then rewrite using the best of the submissions. Planning for sets and costumes would also benefit- more ideas, more suggestions- all of which would make it better.
Follow ticket distribution, promotions- get info to stage hands and lighting people- publish your needs and get a broader response- so much comes to mind! You could run the whole thing- right up to last minute info- without a million phone calls, text messages or emails. Your children's section would be the top cat!

I am Majick Cat. This blog is named after me. I am an eleven month old Russian Blue. My tail got squished before I was born. It still has all the bones of a regular tail, but not in the same places. My human calls it my pompom on a stick. I think it's even better looking than a garden variety tail. And more expressive!
