Just recently I decided to purchase one of the new portable video cameras. My cell phone doesn’t capture video that well and I thought when some of the strange things that happen to me occur, I’ll have a camera to capture it. So I purchased a Mino Flip HD Camera.
Already it has become useful. My cat Galore does some funny things. And maybe if I capture it on video I can win one of those funny video contest. Who knows? So anyway, Galore started acting strange (rolling around on the floor) on 3/31, so I quickly grabbed the camera and captured this:

That following Saturday, I’m at home. I’m working around the house and noticing Galore looking out the window watching the birds eatting from the bird feeder. Normally she just watches the birds and meows a few times. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then all of a sudden she started making this odd chattering noise. I had never heard her make this sound. I looked out the window to see a bumble bee hovering just outside the door, where she was watching. This was her reaction to the bumble bee:

Is this some strange language that cats have with bees? She was found as a week old kitten in a briar bush outside a Starbucks. Maybe she encountered bees there because the only time she’s been outside is when she’s with me on the back porch.

Back in May, I came home from work to find one the
matchbox cars I got at an Auto show at the top of
the stairs (not where I had left it).
(I keep toys (collectibles & stuff I had growing up) on
a bookcase in my living room.)
I go further into the living room to discover G.I. Joe
(with the kung-fu grip) laying in the center of the carpet
Who’s been playing with my toys while I’m at work
The culprit:

So a lady I work with, who rescues animals, had a kitten a friend had given her and was looking for a good home for it. The kitten was found in a bush outside the Starbucks on Peachtree. There was a cat that had recently been hit outside the Starbucks and it was thought that it was the mother of this kitten. Since I now have a place of my own and don’t have any rental restrictions, I thought it would be good to get a pet for my home. Something excited to see me when I got home from work each day. So I agreed to take the kitten.
When she first took in the kitten, my co-worker originally thought it was a boy and was calling it “Bond”. I thought it was a great name considering that the kitten had black and white markings like it was wearing a tuxedo. And being a 007 fan, I thought it would be cool. Then she realized that the kitten wasn’t a boy but a girl. So the first name that came to my mind was, “Galore”. So now she’s called Galore.
Welcome the newest member of my Family.
