Kate - I wonder if it was possible to ask a dog about a name, which one they would choose?

Maria - What a picture you paint! I wonder what your neighbour was thinking.

Magpie - I never heard of that one,

Darlene - Someone said that to me once!

WWW - It sure is.

Magpie - I wish I had been a fly on the wall back then!

It’s a party game for kids……

All sit in a circle on the floor and one child is chosen to be in the middle. His/her job is to make someone laugh. The rest have to resist the temptation.

The one in the middle goes from person to person patting them and stroking them on the head(like you might a Pussy cat) saying ” Ah! poor Pussy!” If they want they can say other things like “Does oo want some fishy den?”

When some one can resist no longer and laughs they then have to change places.

In all innocence I once tried to teach a staff room full of women the game when we were discussing what to play at Christmas parties for the kids!

Only one of them remained completely po faced and explained why the rest had reacted the way they had. She was a member of the Salvation Army….

Magpie11. The game “Poor Pussy” does that go along with “Poor Sex”?
Maybe we should stick with “Poor Cat”–” Poor Dog. “, But it is your “game”.

You have no idea how close this comes to truth. At one time, we had a litter of kittens. I named them all after mountain flowers. There was Eidelweiss, Lupine, Desert Rose, and Pussy Paws. Pussy Paws is an early spring flower that blooms in our nearby Sierra mountains.

Over time all the kittens found new homes, only Pussy Paws was left. I knew my mistake the day, she escaped from the house. Still in my old prurple robe and with large pink rollers in my hair, I was searching for her under my neighbors Lilac bush and frantically calling “Here Pussy Paws, Here Pussy Paws, when my neighbor came out his front door, coffee in hand, for a moment of early morning reflection. I was so embarrased that I tried to slink away, now captured cat in my arms, and swore to name all future animals, Jake or Mike.
