I love it. I expected cats because "Ode to Spot" was the title of Data's poem for his cat. But after reading where you got the title, I realized that you are probably not a Trekkie. Well, I like cat challenges anyway and I'll be back tomorrow to vote on it.

I am indeed a Trekkie, that is how come I chose the series title :)

I'm looking for a photo in my gallery that fits the following:

He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn’t come at all.

When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.......................

Excerpt from Jimmy Stewart’s ode to Beau.
Beau??? Spot, whatever.

Sleeping, No humans, whatever.
Read the rules..., whatever.

Now, if I can just find a photo of Shakespeare, Frost, Poe.....

You got one Cat in your gallery and he is sleeping, so what's your point?

It seems to be the sleeping part that fools them.

Oh! You fooled me, Patch. Yes you did.

You used the name of the most famous dog in the world to entice me to read a CAT challenge.

I'm soooooooo allergic. I think I'm going into anaphylactic shock now.
