Cat Xing

I thought my luck was with me this afternoon. There was the handsome neighborhood tuxedo cat posing, right next to The Sign recently erected at a nearby house. So I tried to get an image with both cat and sign. Hah! Dang car was in the way. You'll see I did my best, even as cat was getting bored.

However, I had seen a display down at the pharmacy. Same sign. Cutesy pooh. But then I'm a bit of a connoisseur of kitsch. As long as I was there, I had to take pictures of several similar signs (below).

There was even this Arizona special, which stylistically looks to have come from a totally different source.

  1. The conundrum is: can the critters read so they know where to cross?

  3. cat-A -- you mean, of course, that if the cat reads the sign, it will automatically avoid the Cat Crossing...

    anon av -- mine is a stripedy siamese mutt, know to the hoity-toity as a "lynx point".

  6. steve -- and I'd like, just onece, to see Kokopelli crossing the road. Of course, there really should be a sign for chicken crossing!

    kate -- I learned the term late in life from my dotter; it certainly is apt. Thank you kindly for your nice comment...
