Completely and irredeemably off-topic: Yin & Yang

Ladymarcovan took this picture last night and called it "Yin & Yang". I thought that was a good title.

Meet Dixie and Harry, aka Yin and Yang.

Harry (also spelled "Hairy") is a recent addition to the menagerie- he just showed up in Victoria's playhouse one day about two weeks ago, and was such a handsome and friendly fellow he was invited to stay. (Which makes him our seventh cat, alongside three dogs and a pony.)

If you want to try and save this unsaveably OT thread, post a coin with Yin and Yang or black and white or cat or dog, as you please.

I just thought I'd share this since the Darksiders are perhaps a bit more tolerant of such hijinks than those fractious Litesiders and their self-appointed OT police.

    Nice pic image
    And, jeez, that's a lot of critters!

    Still not totally on topic, but at least it's Darkside, Argentina, 1869:

    Wow, that's a nice note. Bet those are pretty popular with collectors?

    PS- good save, too- this thread might shift around to being on topic anyway. image

    Harry was killed yesterday by the neighbor's dog. RIP, buddy. image

    We'd just paid to have him neutered three days before, too. Harry that is, not the neighbor's Husky dog.

    I can think of certain surgical procedures I'd like to do to the neighbor's dog, however. (Not that I ever would.) This is the third one of our cats he has killed, and he wounded another badly. So it goes. We live out in the country and most of our cats are outdoor cats. by necessity. Harry was an indoor-outdoor cat in his brief time with us. He was such a handsome animal. image

    Cats being cats, we can't keep 'em from jumping the fence and going into the neighbor dogs' territory.

    When we were at the spay-neuter clinic to pick him up, I saw a cat I thought was Harry. It was in a large free-range enclosure with a bunch of the other cats, and getting along pretty well with them, which I thought was strange at the time, particularly as Harry should have still been drugged out of his mind. Then the lady came out with the doped-out Harry in a carrier. The cat in the enclosure wasn't him- it was an eerily similar lookalike they called Lundy (even some of the shelter staff mistook Harry for Lundy, and vice versa!) I think Lundy is a permanent resident of the shelter there, and not somebody else's cat. If he (or she) is up for adoption, I think I'm going out there to the shelter and adopting her (I think it's a female) before ladymarcovan gets home.

    Ladymarcovan is of course aware of Harry's fate, but Victoria isn't, yet- she is staying with grandparents this weekend. I don't expect Lundy to "fool" anybody as a replacement, but it might feel good to adopt another one, particularly one so handsome as ol' Harry was. Of course if we do, it will have to be a mostly indoor cat. Yeah, we've almost got too many as it is, but we do love our critters around here. We have more than an acre fenced in for them to roam, too, which is why it's doubly tragic that they feel the need to jump the fence into the jaws of the neighborhood cat killer, or the road.

    Geez, I'm sorry for this thread. I'll let it sink, now, unless somebody has a picture of one of those Isle of Man "Persian Cat" coins. The cat on those looks kind of like Harry.
