Kitty Tips-Christmas Safety

Christmas season can be a very dangerous season for cats. People decorate their homes with plants that are poisonous to cats and with ribbons that cats can choke on. I will list some alternatives that are safe for your cat.

Poinsettias and mistletoe are poisonous to cats. Instead of decorating the house with the real plants, buy fake mistletoe and poinsettias. They look just as festive and are much more safe.

Ribbons look like grass to cats, so they are naturally drawn to chewing on the ends of ribbons. A way to solve this is to buy cat grass for your cat. This could help them distracted from the ribbons and other dangerous things around the house.

Cats are kind and curious animals. Taking care of your cat is important. Alternatives and relinquishing a fe

w minor things can help you and your cat on the magnificent journey of life.

Merry Christmas Martini

It's morning! Not just any morning, it's Christmas morning!

Martini open his stocking and this is what he got: A can of wet food, a toy mouse, and a ball. Then he ate some of his wet food and soon it was night and he snuggled me on my bed. Good night Martini.

Famous Pirates

Blackbeard, also Edward Teach:

Blackbeard is one of the most well-known pirates, and one of the most terrifying, at that. When he was about to pillage a ship, Blackbeard would light fuses in is large black beard to strike fear into the hearts of the crewmen abroad the fellow ship. He strapped pistols to himself as that he would be able to quickly kill. Many people that saw him thought that he was the devil!

Blackbeard was killed on November 22, 1718 in a fight with the Royal Navy of Britton. It took five gunshots and more then twenty sward cuts to kill him!

Calico Jack, also John Rackham:

Calico Jack was known by this name for the calico coats that he would ware. He has mostly been remembered by his work with two famous female pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and was only moderately successful in his life as a pirate.

Calico Jack was caught by the British Navy. It was much for the Navy easier then it normally would have normally been. Calico Jack's crew was drunk, so the fight was lost quickly. On November 16, 1720, Jack was sentenced to being hung. This was carried out the next day.

Mary Read:

Mary Read was a tomboy girl who dressed and acted like a man. She ran away at 13 to sail away abroad a ship. A few years later, she enlisted in the army. It was then that she fell in love with a fellow soldier. Mary Read was wedded to him, began to dress like women did, and opened a hotel with her husband. Later, when her husband died, she went back to sea. Calico Jack then captured her ship and she befriended him and Anne Bonny. She became a pirate along with her two friends.

Many Read was captured with Calico Jack and Anne Bonny by the British Navy. She and Anne escaped being hung due to their possibly feigned pregnancy. They were both imprisoned instead. Mary died, still in prison, not long after this from sickness.

Anne Bonny:

Anne Bonny was a courageous, independent and headstrong woman. Like Mary Read, Anne Bonny married a young soldier by the name of James Bonny. She was stolen from her husband by Calico Jack, resulting to her unlikely friendship with him. She, Mary Read and Calico Jack. Anne Bonny disguised herself as a man and joined Jack in a life of piracy.

Later, as described above, the three of them were captured, and she and Marry said that they were pregnant (which was possibly untrue), and their hanging was postponed and they were put in prison until they gave birth. Anne Bonny mysteriously disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.
