Comments from Angela (because Nova is busy being pretty. And sleeping.):
1. In fact, Nova has a lot of toes that she cleans very loudly when I am trying to watch tv.
5. This is true. She can be a tiny, adorable ball of white fur curled up on the back of the couch in the afternoon, then that night she is a gigantic, heavy, stretched out bunch of white fur, crushing my chest and cutting off my air flow.
10. Nova has a reverse blink. She keeps her eyes closed most of the time, and opens them every once in a while to make sure that she's still being suffciently adored.

I saw Callie to start with and got confused! ;-)

Also, some of those original facts are so interesting (like the attracted to recent banana eaters) that I wonder what they were before the 'amendments'!

The Bears said...

Oooh! Very interestoo indeed.

We Bears are glad Callie, Sabre and Angeloo cleared up the wrong facts. We find people get many facts wrong aboo Bears, and it seems it's true for kitties, too.

*much scampering off of Bears to try*

OK Bye
