If what I see the horizontal lines on the stairs are the the steps, and the flat areas are risers, then the cat is going down. Because of the “lip”, being on the step it would be a tripping hazard. The blocks on each side also make me think the cat is going down.
These are fun with sharply formed images. With low-res anything can look like something else. Does the left fore-paw end at the step line or continue down to the next step? It’s kind of blurry there but which ever is correct makes the puzzle answer obvious.
I don’t think I’ve posted this here, but if I have it’s worth posting again. I know for a fact that these are good ! !

“Porcupine Meat Balls”
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 small onion, sliced
1/2 green pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon shortening
2 1/2 cups tomato juice
Dash of nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine ground beef, rice, salt, and pepper. Form into small balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place in baking dish. In a skillet, brown onions, and green pepper in shortening.
Add tomato juice, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over meat balls. Cover baking dish.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) about 1 hour, or until rice is very tender.
Makes 8 porcupines.
Notes from me:
I add a 1/3 of a cup of sugar (white or brown) to take the edge off the tomato juice, but that’s just me. One pound of ground meat is two cups tightly packed. Make sure the meatballs are well covered by the tomato juice. If they are not, add enough juice until they are. This does not hurt the recipe, but leaving the tops “dry” does. Put a sheet of tin foil between the lid and the pan and crimp it to the sides of the pan. With the lid on top the moisture is sealed in. It makes the lid easy to clean too.
One of the activity treats given to large cats in zoos during the heat is what they call a Blood ball. They take a large latex balloon and stick meat chunks, blood, and water in them to make large meat, water, blood water balloons and freeze them.
Remove the latex balloon and give to kitty.
I don’t think that is what we are seeing.
Are swans considered birds of ill omen in Germany?.
I’m asking because I have just finished reading “The Last Kingdom” by Steve Berry
It’s part of a series whose main character is Cotton Malone a retired American spy who keeps getting drawn back into working for his old agency / they all stand alone, so you can start reading with whatever book you find first.
This particular story contains a good deal of Bavaria’s real history (a while ago you drew our attention to the castle that was the inspiration for Disney’s Cinderella castle) and any deviations from the real history are explained in the author’s notes.
Berry also made references to German culture in general one of which prompted my question above. I went looking, but didn’t find any other source.
I await your answer with bated breath.
Black swans in dreams warn you to be careful in order to prevent ill fate.
Swans symbolize purity, love, transformation and fidelity – the couples stay together all their lives. Unlike Zeus and Leda…
Ravens and the like ere considered bad luck – “Galgenvögel” (gallows birds), which was used to describe criminals – because they are scavengers.
On the other hand two ravens were Odin’s wise companions.
And the raven Noah sent out to find dry land? – I think he found some and stayed there…
“Double Dog Indemnity” may have set the standard for doggy noir films.
I saw it when I was a bit too young… a very complicated, convoluted film, confusing in its rather adult themes.
…
I didn’t know that it had challenged the prewar production codes still in effect… just as the depression-era Hays Code had stemmed what it considered the moral excesses of the 1920’s.
It almost didn’t get made due to its multiple adulteries inciting murder.
…
Barbara Stanhound is one cool customer…
beautiful, sleek…
She’s not the kind of dog you casually start calling “Babs”… or try to roughhouse with, or tease by playing keep-away with her favorite toy.
You’re likely to be met with as cold a stare as a basset can manage…
She’s no greyhound in that department, but much better than any sight-hound at biting an overly familiar finger.
…
The film won many awards, and Billy WildDog, its director, considered it one of his best, if not his VERY best, film…
even though it was one of his first, and he went on to direct SO many Howlywood classics, from noir thrillers to hysterical canine comedy,
…
I later saw the pallid human imitation…
I never did understand the casting of the female human… or especially why the males were willing to murder for her…
Sorry, but I just couldn’t see the glamor.
I just had to see “Double Dog Indemnity” again as as an adult…. that truly confirmed its vast superiority.
“Sorry, but I just couldn’t see the glamor.” Mebbee it was the towel.
After “My Three Sons” and “The Absent Minded Professor”, SOME of us always saw Fred McMurray as the archtypical “Good Guy”. Many of these early films he played an average Joe easily seduced to the dark side. There was one or two where he played a downright evil villan.
If you can find it, “Murder, She Said” is a romp. “Honors flisis, incom beesis, onches nobis, innob keesis.”
.
That is glass, right?
So the bear is underwater?
Many Polar Bear exhibits feature this – they seem to enjoy diving and swimming in front of a crowd.
He wants some ice cream too. How can she resist those puppy-dog… er… polar bear eyes.
..
My tummy hurts. Now I wish I hadn’t eaten all those fish in that tank.
…
Go, Jonesy, Go!

MORE ON THIS PUBLICITY STILL FOR “POCKET MONEY”(1972 release date)
If you’re guessing…..
If you don’t recognize Lee Marvin… Try covering up his nose.
You might recognize him without a nose as the bad guy gunslinger from Cat Ballou.
Of course, with a nose he also played the old drunken ex gunslinger in the same movie.
And he was actually younger then than he was in Pocket Money.
Yes; I’ve recognized them both.
…..
Fluffy & Fuzzy, BFF’s.
,
You really have to wonder about the thought process that culminates in these drawings.
Good news: I gave you a brain and a penis.
Bad news: You can’t use them both at the same time.”
But it’s true!
Yes it is!
Read the comic HERE. The interior art can be classed as risqué.
Her dress is totally prescient.
20 years later someone probably “designed” it, not knowing that it had already been modeled by a space chick in November, 1951.
And so practical for exploring hostile planets./s
,,
Absolutely.
Yes.
By the position of the cat’s head, going up.
If what I see the horizontal lines on the stairs are the the steps, and the flat areas are risers, then the cat is going down. Because of the “lip”, being on the step it would be a tripping hazard. The blocks on each side also make me think the cat is going down.
Always the opposite.
These are fun with sharply formed images. With low-res anything can look like something else. Does the left fore-paw end at the step line or continue down to the next step? It’s kind of blurry there but which ever is correct makes the puzzle answer obvious.
,.
Nope. Not that big.
Yes. But not that alive on that boat.
Obviously a manipulation, but the REAL GIANT OCTOPUS is far more interesting.
That’s a squid.
cool!
.,
Would make a great page from a coloring book.
That’s what i see.
That’s what I determined to be the porcupine also.
That’s all I saw. I thought maybe it was a bit too obvious, but I can’t find anything else.
I think i got it.
I might be in your town tomorrow. If you see a red Toyota Prius V with veteran plates, it’s probably me.

An illustration of multiple personality disorder?
Quite the nightmare!
