Bit of a PSA, be very cautious about handling the ears of retired Greyhounds, some of the Trainer/Owners are not very nice people. You might never come across a retired Greyhound, in which case the PSA is not of any use, but if any of you do, please be aware.
Ragdolls are a specific breed, as I’m sure you’re aware. Quite like a long haired Birman, and similar colours. My late sister had one, and I’ve met a few others. Very friendly cats, they are so named because when you pick them up, they just relax and ‘Flop’ like a rag doll would. When we took in the ten cats from the house split, I got the Birman, the six Persians, and the two Bengals, my sister had already decided ‘Dibbs’ on Rommel (Rommy) the Ragdoll. Weasel the Birman and Rommy the Ragdoll were almost identical colours (Colourpoints), but Weasel had short fur and Rommy had long fur. I don’t have access to the drive that the photos are on at the moment, so I can’t post pictures of them.
My neighbour’s new Calico (Poppy) is continuing to settle in well, she’s bagged herself one of the armchairs as “Hers” 🙂
Standing, from left to right are nine famous kings of Europe in 1910:
King Haakon VII of Norway
Tsar Ferdinand of the Bulgarians
King Manuel II of Portugal and the Algarves
Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and King of Prussia
King George I of the Hellenes
King Albert I of the Belgians
Seated, from left to right:
King Alfonso XIII of Spain
King George V of the United Kingdom
King Frederick VIII of Denmark
Getty images didn’t list the names, but provided the following:
“In May 1910, European royalty gathered in London for the funeral of King Edward VII. Among the mourners were nine reigning kings, who were photographed together in what very well may be the only photograph of nine reigning kings ever taken.
Of the nine sovereigns pictured, four would be deposed and one assassinated. Within five years, Britain and Belgium would be at war with Germany and Bulgaria. Only five of the nine monarchies represented in the photo still exist today. (Photo by: Photo 12/ Universal Images Group via Getty Images)”
It is estimated that there were about 40 million civilian and military casualties during World War 1. These kings had a big hand in it. It’s good to remember that the kings don’t pay as much of a price as the peasants.
At the same time, wars accelerate scientific and industrial advances that may have taken decades to come to fruition. But such a cost, such a cost.
What struck me in the article was Canada’s casualties (under the red ensign) and Newfoundland’s casualties were listed separately as Newfoundland didn’t become a province until nineteen fortynine.
There was a much better version available a few years ago of this (where it disappeared to, I wish I knew).
This will give you the idea though.

The lady in the chair is just a side-ways inset showing that Saville could manipulate the image – elongating, squishing, flip over, close-up, far-out-shot. Fluff, basically.

I wish Buddy were that calm. In a couple of years, i’m told.
It’s the ear massage that does it…

I think I can do the same…
Okay….
… none other than Grace Kelly…
with Jimmy Stewart in a scene from Rear Window.
That’s it!
How could i forget her name?
Hey! I got this one. And it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.

Happy Birthday, MLK!
And in the US, happy Martin Luther King Day.
I’m looking for a calico. I’d love to have a rag doll.

Looks like Frankencat.

You can’t leave him there in the snow!
OK, you wanted to go out, now what?
The little one is the bait, the BIG one is just around the corner of the building!

Wonderful!
They’ve sure come a long way since Minibrix®

A lot were distantly (or even closely) related.
Vicky and Albert were a busy pair…
Anyone know all nine?
Google does.

As you said…
What struck me in the article was Canada’s casualties (under the red ensign) and Newfoundland’s casualties were listed separately as Newfoundland didn’t become a province until nineteen fortynine.
Now these little angels probably didn’t have permission.
I say that partly because of the TV (or ??) that got painted.
But if so, why is the older one smiling for the picture, instead of running for his life? 😁
Pointing to younger brother, “He did it!”
I’m getting a stiff neck!
Here’s the full movie.
Dang! I’m sure I’ve seen that kid picture before, and I still got it wrong!
I look at that face and start combing my memory…. but for someone of the wrong gender.
I did my best sleeping in one of these…
We had one of those in our basement when I was growing up
I did something very similar to that (without jumping) over 40 years ago. I learned that it’s better to be too far than too close.
Third base!
Ha! Nobody else has posted it yet!
I almost beat you!
Nyah nyah nyah 👅
This will give you the idea though.

My 5-year-old grandson just goes “ape” watching this version…
Isn’t that the same one?
OOPS!
Yes, same one.
I didn’t notice that there was the associated “Spoiler”, I missed the fact that Alex had posted the link already.
Easy to miss when so much is written in the spoiler title, especially whole sentences…. you forget you click it.
I can’t figure out what the woman in the chair is supposed to be.
There’s also a Chipmunks version…. I think it became the most popular.
But since he invented the Chipmunks a bit later, using the speeded up voices he came up with for this song, I prefer the original.

Sorry, Alexi, I didn’t see that your link was under the “Spoiler” caption. I posted the same video.
I’m certain you’ll all know this trio, and the film, but I’ll ‘Spoiler’ it anyway.
Some solid evidence that physics works (you might want to shut your sound down)….
