Personality:

Tílo is pure heart and love and sass. He is the best boy. He is a Good Boy. He is beyond words and wonderful. He is absolutely a home wrecker because he has 0 impulse control and acts completely off the cuff. In many ways he is Heri's reflection doing pretty much what she would be doing if she wasn't always having to be a well behaved daughter.  If Tílo is around chances are Heri is somewhere nearby or involved. The two are attached at the hip and bully one another viciously. Acting as siblings they get into  squabbles and banter back and forth at all hours. 

Relationship guidelines: 

tílo is a friendly raven but won't speak to strangers. He is awful about keeping secrets just like his Heri and is prone to bringing people gifts or aid if they're lost.

Romantic relationships: are you birb??? Thought not!!!!!!!!! 

Family relationships: give him eggie and Tílo will sway to you instantly. 

Pre-established relationships: *offering a ring pop on my knees* just ask and he is your friendo You may engage in vicious mockery of Tílo But spontaneous physically hurting tílo in the ask  is an instant block. 😡🗡 no toxic or abusive relationships.

My 2017 total solar eclipse trip

I was not prepared for how incredible the total eclipse was. It was, literally, awesome. Almost a spiritual experience. I also did not anticipate the crazy-ass, reverse storm-chasing car ride we'd need to undertake in order to see it.

I'm not a bucket list sort of person, but ever since seeing a partial eclipse back in college in the 90s (probably this one), I have wanted to witness a total solar eclipse with my own eyes. I started planning for the 2017 event three years ago...the original idea was to go to Oregon, but then some college friends suggested meeting up in Nebraska, which seemed ideal: perhaps less traffic than Oregon, better weather, and more ways to drive in case of poor weather.

Well, two of those things were true. Waking up on Monday, the cloud cover report for Lincoln didn't look so promising. Rejecting the promise of slightly better skies to the west along I-80, we opted instead to head southeast towards St. Joseph, Missouri where the cloud cover report looked much better. Along the way, thunderstorms started popping up right where we were headed. Committed to our route and trusting this rando internet weather report with religious conviction, we pressed on. We drove through three rainstorms, our car hydroplaning because it was raining so hard, flood warnings popping up on our phones for tiny towns we were about to drive through. Moral was low and the car was pretty quiet for awhile; I Stoically resigned myself to missing the eclipse.

But on the radar, hope. The storms were headed off to the northeast and it appeared as though we might make it past them in time. The Sun appeared briefly through the clouds and from the passenger seat, I stabbed at it shining through the windshield, "There it is! There's the Sun!" We angled back to the west slightly and, after 3.5 hours in the car, we pulled off the road near the aptly named town of Rayville with 40 minutes until totality, mostly clear skies above us. After our effort, all that was missing was a majestic choral "ahhhhhh" sound as the storm clouds parted to reveal the Sun.

My friend Mouser got his camera set up -- he'd brought along the 500mm telephoto lens he uses for birding -- and we spent some time looking at the partial eclipse through our glasses, binoculars (outfitted with my homemade solar filter), and phone cameras. I hadn't seen a partial eclipse since that one back in the 90s, and it was cool seeing the Sun appear as a crescent in the sky. I took this photo through the clouds:

Some more substantial clouds were approaching but not quickly enough to ruin the eclipse. I pumped my fist, incredulous and thrilled that our effort was going to pay off. As totality approached, the sky got darker, our shadows sharpened, insects started making noise, and disoriented birds quieted. The air cooled and it even started to get a little foggy because of the rapid temperature change.

We saw the Baily's beads and the diamond ring effect. And then...sorry, words are insufficient here. When the Moon finally slipped completely in front of the Sun and the sky went dark, I don't even know how to describe it. The world stopped and time with it. During totality, Mouser took the photo at the top of the page. I'd seen photos like that before but had assumed that the beautifully wispy corona had been enhanced with filters in Photoshop. But no...that is actually what it looks like in the sky when viewing it with the naked eye (albeit smaller). Hands down, it was the most incredible natural event I've ever seen.

After two minutes -- or was it several hours? -- it was over and we struggled to talk to each other about what we had just seen. We stumbled around, dazed. I felt high, euphoric. Raza Syed put it perfectly:

It was beautiful and dramatic and overwhelming -- the most thrillingly disorienting passage of time I've experienced since that one time I skydived. It was a complete circadian mindfuck.

After waiting for more than 20 years, I'm so glad I finally got to witness a total solar eclipse in person. What a thing. What a wondrous thing.

This week we’re taking a look at the Maine Coon, the largest domesticated cat breed.  My sis and I have decided that we want one, so I’m doing a post about it 😀

The Maine Coon is “native” to Maine, though it was likely brought over from another country and bred and perfected in the US.  No records exist before its introduction in the US, though, so it is considered a native of New England.  There are theories regarding its origin, the most likely being that the Maine Coon resulted from the breeding of Norwegian Forest Cats brought over by seafaring Norsemen to New England, or that the long-haired cats of Captain Charles Coon would exit the ship once docked and breed with the short-haired cats of New England, or that the Maine Coon resulted from the crossbreeding of long-haired cats with the bobcat, which could explain the tufts of fur at the tips of some Maine Coons’ ears.  Wherever this majestic cat originally came from, it is now the state cat of Maine and a favorite among many cat lovers.

Maine Coons were used primarily as mousers, farm cats, and ship cats in the harsh Maine climate.  Their oddly uneven two-layered coat helps insulate them from the cold and keeps them from overheating in warmer weather, much like a Great Pyrenees’ double layer coat.  Their fur is also longer on their belly and the backs of their legs and rear where it’s likely to come into contact with wet ground and snow.  They are equipped with large paws and toes padded with extra thick tufts of fur between them that allow their paws to act somewhat like a snowshoe.

Maine Coons are one of those breeds some people consider “dog-like.”  They enjoy playing fetch, learning tricks, and following their humans around the house.  They are not, however, clingy cats.  They’ll accept attention when given, but will go do their own thing once their human is busy with something else.  They’re chill like that.

Although the most common color among Maine Coons is brown tabby, they can actually come in just about any color.  The only colors not accepted in the show ring and that indicate crossbreeding are chocolate, lavender, Siamese pointed patterns, and “ticked” patterns.

#gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Their coat only needs brushed twice weekly.  It’s recommended one use a steel comb to pull out any tangles and a grooming rake to pull out any of the undercoat that has died, which is the primary cause of tangles.  It can also be rather itchy if left there, so it’s best to accustom one’s Maine Coon to brushing early on.

Maine Coons are often called “gentle giants.”  They adapt to many lifestyles and personalities and can even get along with children and cat-friendly dogs due to their amiable nature.  Males tend to be very kittenish in play and even clown-like while the females tend to be more dignified.  They both, however, enjoy playing with teasers and chasing mice – real or fake.

If you are interested in purchasing or adopting a Maine Coon, please do your research.  These cats could very easily be for anyone with their amiable nature and love of people, however, understand that they are usually larger than other cats and will require more food.  Please be sure you are able to afford their appetite!  If, however, you are looking for a fluffy feline companion that loves you but isn’t needy, that isn’t much of a climber, is usually fairly quiet, this cat might just be the pet for you!

Maine Coon

Raccoon

Fun Fact:  There is another theory about the Maine Coon’s origins based on its traits, though it’s more of a myth as it’s genetically impossible, and that is that the Maine Coon descended from semi-feral domestic cats and raccoons, which is where the cats get their brown tabby color and bushy, raccoon-like tail.

Luscious Locks: Meet the LaPerm

The post Luscious Locks: Meet the LaPerm by Erika Sorocco appeared first on Catster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren't considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Catster.com.

Are you all about that #messyhairdontcare life? Then you’ll fall head over heels for the luxe LaPerm — a fancy feline with locks as luscious as her lovable personality!

1 What’s in a name?

Named for her unusual, wavy coat, the LaPerm originated on an Oregon farm in 1982 as the result of a spontaneous mutation. The first LaPerm, a cutie called Curly, was bald at birth. As time went by, she grew a coat of soft, curly fur from the top of her head to the tip of her tail — a look very similar to a high-priced perm.

2 Curly — or straight

Do they all have curly hair? Funnily enough … they don’t! While LaPerms are known for their curly ’dos, many are born bald or short-haired, and maintain sleek, straight locks their entire lives. In fact, curls typically don’t show up until they are 2 or 3 years of age.

During kittenhood, LaPerms often go completely bald — a process that starts at 2 weeks of age. The first four months of life bring them various states of baldness. As they grow older, their coat typically returns and will take on the appearance of the original texture — curly, straight or somewhere in between.

3 One of a kind

Each LaPerm coat is 100% unique. Some coats are wavy, while others feature ringlet-esque curls that range from tight to flowing corkscrews that give them a majestic air. The tightest curls typically appear on the underside of the body, with bushels of curls popping up on the throat and at the base of the ears.

4 Love me!

LaPerms crave human contact — they love being petted, cuddled and cradled. They can frequently be spotted reaching for your face with their paws and rubbing their faces against your head, face and neck — their own version of giving kisses! Anything you can do, the LaPerm wants to do with you. Taking a seat on the couch? Even if she’s in the middle of playing, she’ll abandon her activity to keep you company. Collecting ingredients in the kitchen for tonight’s dinner? She’ll perch above you and supervise the process. LaPerms can sense your presence and immediately start purring when they become aware of your whereabouts — like a kitty version of ESP that ultimately ends in cuddles!

5 Not for the allergic

Although that ’do definitely gives off a no-fuss-no-muss, hypoallergenic vibe, those luscious curls don’t represent an allergy-free zone. Feline allergies are related to cat dander, not cat fur, so LaPerms are no less allergy inducing than their feline soul sisters.

6 Looks can be deceiving

You would think that coat needs a ton of grooming, but LaPerms just require a typical once-a-week comb through to prevent matting and tangles. Aside from that, she’s pretty much a self-cleaner. She may occasionally go through a heavy shed, which results in a thicker coat than before, and some (but not all) LaPerms actually molt, ending up with a thin coat that never truly returns to its ‘before’ state — but overall, she’s not what you’d call a high-maintenance gal!

7 Family friend

The LaPerm may have working cat roots, making her an excellent mouser, but she loves attention and will return affection in a heartbeat. She loves to interact with guests, will adore being fawned over by the youngest of family members and even gets along with cat-loving canines!

8 A serious player

Clever and resourceful, LaPerms love to be challenged during play and will never say no to a large assortment of perches, shelves and trees.

9 Feline hitchhiker

Remember the bit about LaPerms loving attention and affection? Well, they love it so much that they’re often found hitching a ride on the shoulder of their human. Don’t be surprised if she climbs you like a tree to settle herself on that shoulder perch or if she hops down from up above giving you a funny fright. It’s just another reason to love the LaPerm!
