Cat Tales: Miscellany and Mischief

January 24 (30DBC)

30DBC January 24 Prompt: If you had a "spirit animal" that wasn't an animal, what would yours be? (Pretty sure mine's a burrito in case anyone asks, but no one is and I could be totally wrong *Laugh*). And what would you think some of your fellow bloggers' "spirit animals (that aren't animals)" are?

Seems the site didn't want me to finish my post, so I'm starting over again.

Some of my best writing friends affectionately call me "Fountain Pen" because each time they ask me a question about writing or publishing, I seem to give them an essay.

I could also see myself as Klaus Baudelaire from "A Series of Unfortunate Events." Always carrying a book and a notebook, he is the epitome of the writer/reader powerhouse that I used to be (and want to be again).

Being pregnant, I can't leave out Pacha's wife from "The Emperor's New Groove." Sassy, smart, and the only pregnant woman I've ever seen accurately portrayed in a kid's movie, with a temper and lack of grace to boot.

Meg from "Hercules" also stands out. A sass-master, good-hearted, and well-intentioned (usually).

As for my fellow bloggers, I have a few ideas.

Jay O'Toole , who so kindly (and fairly accurately) portrayed me as Thomas O'Malley from The Aristocats, I could imagine as a cat himself...the Cheshire Cat, to be precise. Upbeat, funny, and with just a touch of charming ADOS (Attention Deficit...OOH SHINY!)

Naveed strikes me as Disney's Aladdin--optimistic, determined, and with a good sense of humor.

SB Musing is Mulan-- kicking butt and taking names, persevering, and with just a hint of good-natured stubbornness.

Apondia reminds me of "Madame" from The Aristocats--sweet, nostalgic, and with a love of life.

Sorry that all these were Disney movies...that's really the first thing that came to mind.
