I remember getting sometimes-useful (like my first Intel webcam) and utterly useless (which was paired with a program that was supposed to read watermarks on printed ads to take you to websites) doodads and tchotchkes. Well, this is somewhat in the former, mostly in the latter category.

The CueCat was a cat-looking scanner, with the express purpose of scanning a barcode so you could be whisked away to the wonderous world of Advertising! Yes, that is the actual purpose of this thing. Needless to say, the venture capitalists who funded this thing had never heard of the concept that people typically do not WANT to go to an advertiser's website.

So, this device bombed out. But....

It became popular for awhile with people who created a program to help you catalogue your record and cd collections. You would use the CueCat to scan the barcode of your music, and the program would take you to Amazon's database to get the information for your music, so you could properly catalogue them.

Nowadays you can use your phone, which is easier and convenient. But the CueCat did become useful for a time, just not for the VC's original purpose.

(for the record, this isn't my original CueCat; I found this one some years back in the sealed bag at a thrift store for around 90 cents)

Yep, Buster also was determined!

… on my lap. From the closest: Tiny, Bub and Spike.

4 1/2-year-old Tiny looks as cute as can be, so I won't get him up :)

Foreground: Jet, Bub and Bob. Yawning cat: Ursula. Orange cat: Buster. Grey and white cat: Charlotte.

Bub in foreground, beside mother Spike, then Tiny and Buster at the end. Sure hope I don’t go to the bathroom for awhile…

From the foreground: Bub (7 mos) Tiny (4 1/2 years) and Buster (age undetermined; he was a street cat who came to stay with us around 4 or 5 years ago; very easygoing).

So who exactly are they trying to convince? Anyone with an actual brain already knows Dr. Fauci was right, that Dr. Acton was right. And apparently the people who sent this out forget that Dr. Fauci worked under their lord and "savior" Trump, and Dr. Acton simply advised the actual decision-maker Gov. DeWine, who actually signed off on the shutdown. Dr. Acton HAD NO POWER to shut down anything, because she was NOT Governor. More bullflop from billionaire Vivek's despicable enablers.

So, I proceeded to put this trash flyer where it belongs...I gave it to the Eater of Lies. But opening it up after doing so, I must say the colors make a good contrast with the predominantly white background :)

I also saw evidence of others having been ripped down but as you can see, they keep puttin’ them back up.

I went back to the zoo ( where I am still at right now) and took this picture of a cheetah posing in the shade 😸

Heading to the zoo bus to do some filming but stopped to snap this.

…and just a little annoyed 😸

Sat down in the bathroom and discovered I had company....

Thinking “ oh great he’s taking pics of us again!”
