Oddly, this whole thing was caused by a typographical error. Someone spelled "god" backwards.

That showed him, Madame X.
Irma was bad in Florida but it could have been so much worst, the Caribbean islands and Cuba got the worst of it. My heart goes out to all the people affected by Irma.
On a slightly happier note, the 6 toes kitties of Hemingway House and their keepers escaped unscathed.

Yea for the Hemingway cats!
Storm update: no major damage in my area, no flooding. The power is out, which may affect my ability to post articles. I have two posts set up for tomorrow, and after that we’ll see.
Glad you are okay. The Cute will still be there when the power comes back. 🙂
Did Shorty come back or is he still at the neighbor’s?
So glad you and Ani came through, and presumably Shorty!
Yeah Mike! Good to hear you weathered the storm just fine. If you can’t post don’t worry we’ll all still be here when the power comes back on. Stay safe and dry.
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear!
NTMTOM, glad to know you are okay. ? Hopefully it won’t be too many days without power. You and your furry friends be careful and stay safe. If you can’t post for awhile, I will have major Cutetropolis withdrawal but will anxiously await when you can get back online.
If NTMTOM doesn’t post for a while I will totally post random cute pictures from my vast collection in whatever the most recent thread is. 😉
Great, because I don’t know how to transfer /upload/download onto another site. I’m very tech challenged.
Well, to be honest I usually look for stuff online (even if it’s a picture I have saved) because pasting an image link is easier than resizing things so I can upload them (since most of my files are too big).
What Luv Bunny said! We look forward to your return, Mike, whenever it may be.
Has Shorty made an appearance yet?
What good news! (except for having to live without power)
So relieved to hear you’re safe, Mike.
Glad that everybody’s ok in your household. So far just some so-so rain and wind in Georgia.
We are all glad to hear that things, aside from power, are ok with you, Mike! You have given us so much joy and cute over the years that it will sustain us until you can post again!
That’s a relief. I’m watching the reports right now and it’s still pounding northern Florida even tho’ it’s “only” a tropical storm with 70mph winds. Gives a whole new meaning to “she persisted”.
Have there ever been back-to-back retired Hurricane names? Because I have a feeling both Harvey and Irma will be.
I kinda feel bad for Mr. and Mrs. Schluter…
I heard on the news that both names will be retired.
I figured they would be but I didn’t see anything official; just some places saying “it’s likely that…”
Great news about the house and the cats!
I can’t even with the cotton-ball birdie.
Thanks for the link, Gigi. I was looking yesterday to see if I could find anything on the house and kitties.
I want a red panda and I want it now. Happy to supply pumpkins.
The tattoo kitties have been on here before and I highly recommend this guy’s website. I scored a wonderful sweatshirt and some temporary tattoos (since I can’t commit to a real one).
Love the not-guilty animals and the trash pandas.
The doggie that was most astounding to me was the one who had destroyed a DOOR, for pity’s sake. Of course, it looked as tho’ the door was made of cardboard.
And, yes, a red panda would be a nice pet (wink, wink) along with a couple of trash pandas – which I think they’re related to.
And red pandas wonder why others don’t take them seriously.
Glad you and other Floridians are safe.
Red pandas have got to be the most a-dork-able creatures. They (and cats) are why we have Youtube and Instagram.
