If you are new to "The Cat Album" I can tell you that you 'll find more than 1100 pictures of cute cats at this site.


Most of them are of high quality.


You 'll also find some stories.


The idea about this site is that the visitors can send in their own pictures and get them added to the album.


That way we 'll all be part of building a huge archive of cat pictures.


And if you send me a story, that would be great to!


Please join our growing family !!!! :-)

Like you said "the kids egg him on".


maybe too much .


Sounds like your cat is stressed out .


Maybe he does n't want to play when they want to..


He did n't take a dislike to the kids for "no" reason!


cats react to the treatment they receive, they are not toys.


maybe the cat needs a "new' home.........

Once upon a time (in 2001, to be specific), the Coca-Cola corporation built a bottling plant in a small and remote Indian village in the state of Kerala.

Once upon a time (in 2001, to be specific), the Coca<org>-Cola corpo</org>ration built a bottling plant in a small and remote Indian village in the state of Kerala<loc>.</loc>


In exchange for sucking vast amounts of water out of the local land, the mighty corporation promised to bring the people great wealth.


But within a few short months, the village people began to notice their wells were running dry, so they complained to the corporation.


Coca-Cola calmed the concerns of the people and attempted to win back their favor by giving them vast amounts of free fertilizer, saying it would grow bountiful crops beyond their wildest dreams.

<org>Coca-Cola c</org>almed the concerns of the people and attempted to win back their favor by giving them vast amounts of free fertilizer, saying it would grow bountiful crops beyond their wildest dreams.


After several years of use, we arrive at the present day when the village people have suddenly discovered the fertilizer is actually the bottling plant 's waste sludge and is laden with cadmium, a highly toxic, cancer-causing heavy metal.


The village soil and water are now too heavily contaminated to safely occupy human life, so the plant was shut down last week.


Moral of the story: Do n't drink Coke..........drink Pepsi!

If Abbas keeps up this "macho talk" he will kill potential peace talks and might as well allow Hamas (which has probably done a better job at providing for the Palestinians) rule the West Bank.

Several years ago I developed a short paper and pencil screening test which, in a small pilot study, discriminated between ADHD, LD, and control subjects.


I recently converted this test to an online test in order to norm it to a larger population and, subsequently, to make it available to any one who has access to a computer and the Internet.


The test itself is what is called a substitution test.


It has two parts, both of which are timed for 90 seconds each and the differential between the resulting two scores determines the likelihood of having a learning disability or attention deficit disorder.


I am in need of test subjects and hope you will take it.


The test, along with an information form, is available at: .


I think a test like this one is much needed.


A person can take it directly instead of others completing behavioral checklists or a completing a lengthy program intensive test like TOVA.
