For you cats who love horses... or vice-versa.

[The Doctor.]

Ain't this the darn tootin'est cute thang y'all seen?




As cute as this is, IMHO this inspires feats of imagination and the Ideals of romantic reincarnation.
Krishna would love this...

Here's the site;

Any of you Marketing/Psychology/Visual arts experts or students recognize the subtle manipulation presented in the upper left of the site? (not the item)

It's cute tho - admit it.

1. Anybody who insists animals don't have feelings isn't paying attention!

That horse is smiling in its eyes.

2. Horses need contact ...

with horses, or other animals as they are naturally gregarious. A horse alone is an unhappy animal. Sometimes horses will adopt others. I had a cat who always used to sleep on the back of a particular horse. Secretariat (that famous racehorse) had a cat named Scooter who traveled everywhere with him.The expression 'get your goat' developed from horse racing. Goats were often the buddies of race horses. If a particular racing stable wanted to harm it's competition, it would literally get it's goat thus upsetting the horse.

3. I learn alot of cool stuff here---also, what was the visual manipulation?

Cool info about horses!

Subtle visual manipulation...well I see the white cross and rings of light radiating from it but that doesn't seem so subtle.

The couple is white, hetero and fertile, but that's expected, right?

If there's something else, I'm not seeing it.

5. The meanings and compulsion of color too...

All the blues and whites denote calm, sanctity, purity.

Notice the ONLY item that bridges the gap between their 'perfect life' bubble and the rest of the page....

Get it?

9. oh yes, they exist in a pure blue heaven, presumably with Gawd.

and I see, yes the cross (a cross made of light) crosses over the frame, to the mundane activity below. Also bridges over to the clean pure sky, where only clouds, the sun and a bible exist. So simple, clean and inviting....

4. That's neat

12. Wow thanks!!!....I live in horse country and did not

...know the origin of that slogan....again thanks

6. Horses are incapable of facial expression. >

I'm not saying they can't move certain parts of their faces in concert with certain other parts: they can.

But these movements do NOT amount to expression. Thank you.

8. HAHAHAHAH!!

you are cracking me up, sir!!
:D :D

7. That's so sweet! I have a similar love story at home

My cat Oberon paws at the window every night


Until his beloved appears...


If you enjoy interspecies love stories, don't miss the one about the baby hippo and the tortoise in LBN!

10. Did I mention 'Lorien' is my daughter's name?

And Oberon is the perfect name for your cat.
He looks very 'regal' and self-important.

(So is his 'guest' Titania?)

[Lorien]

11. Did you name her after

the Tolkien elven kingdom, or was there another inspiration? There probably won't be another girl in her class with the same name!

the raccoon is actually a boy, who I've kind of named Lenny (he just looks like a Lenny). Oberon has two raccoons he's obsessed with; the other one is Rocky (he bangs on the back door using rocks every night)I let the two sniff each other every so often, because otherwise, Obie will just sit at the back door and whine. Oberon hasn't seemed to notice that it's a gay love affair though, lol!

My other young cat is named Puck. I thought she was a he for the first few months, otherwise I probably would have gone with Titania. But she's so impish that the former really suits her!

[The Doctor.]

14. I had the Idea YEARS ago....

I read Tolkien when I was 12.

I even dated a girl whose middle name was 'Lothlorien'.
I had always loved the name 'Adrial', and 'Lorien'.
I ran many names by my wife, she liked those too.

I just hate when things that are special to me go mainstream, but I loved the name nonetheless.

(She's gorgeous to boot.)

My wife LOVES your Oberon.
Says his character really shows up in the pictures.

Maybe we'll post Randy's picture sometime. (Her long hair grey-tiger)

[Lorien]

15. Hey, I read LOTR and the Hobbit when I was 12 too!

back in the 70s..er, sometime. I know what you mean; so many people have the Jackson vision of his works now firmly in their minds. It makes me long for the days of cheezy Hildebrant paintings.

I'd love to see your tiger kitty someday. Mine have their own Catster pages. Here's Oberon's http://www.catster.com/?100240

BTW- I'm thinking of adopting a white Turkish Angora and naming him "Mithril". Some friends already have a cat named "Mithrandir", so that was right out when I got Oberon, though he does have the beard already, lol!

13. Mmmmmm....... Salami!
