It's Star Trek with Cats<br><br>Star Trek is a sci-fi classic; the only thing that could make it better? Cats.<br><br>Thankfully, the beacon of light that is illustrator Jenny Parks has transformed scenes from the original Star Trek series (sorry Next Generation and Voyager fans!) into kitty-filled tributes to the show.<br><br>We got a peek at the book she created out of this amazing brainstorm, which has the simple and straight forward title, Star Trek Cats.<br><br>So, let?s get ready to beam to a land where all things Star Trek just got a little furrier, and we aren?t talking about tribbles.<br><br>Captain Kirk may have been replaced with a kitty, but this orange meower still has William Shatner?s signature swagger.<br><br>?I?ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember. Combine that with a scientific illustrator?s passion for drawing animals and all things nerdy, and you get a series of my favorite pop culture characters as cats. Somehow it all became more than just a ridiculous hobby, as I realized how many people out there loved these cats, too,? said Parks, explaining her book?s origin story.<br><br>?One of the things I enjoyed most about working on Star Trek Cats, was figuring out what breeds to make each character,? she added. ?Obviously Scotty had to be a Scottish Fold, but it took some searching to find a cat for Spock with appropriately distinctive ears, which I eventually found in the Oriental Shorthair.?<br><br>Not only does feline Spock have his human/Vulcan counterpart?s infamous ears, but Park also made sure to give him an ectrodactyly thumb, so Spock could still flash his favorite hand gesture.<br><br>To see even more of these Star Trek sweeties, get your own copy of Star Trek Cats (Chronicle Books, $14.95 hardcover) for the sci-fi cat fanatic in your life.<br><br><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145215841X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=popetkbnov16-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=145215841X&linkId=c093f43aed036b9e499d3f6c25934915" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/145215841X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=popetkbnov16-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=145215841X&linkId=c093f43aed036b9e499d3f6c25934915</a><br><br>--------------------<br><br>Photos . . .<br><br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_01.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_01.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_02.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_02.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_03.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_03.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_04.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_04.jpg</a><br><br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_05.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com/Caturday/Caturday_021117_05.jpg</a><br><br>---------------------------------<br><br>Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .<br><br>"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)<br><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" target="_blank">http://www.MoscowCares.com</a><br> <br>Tom Hansen<br>Moscow, Idaho<br> <br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a href="http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/attachments/20170211/9a6442e7/attachment-0001.html" target="_blank">http://mailman.fsr.com/pipermail/vision2020/attachments/20170211/9a6442e7/attachment-0001.html</a>><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>Message: 2<br>Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 06:45:51 -0800<br>From: Moscow Cares <<a href="mailto:moscowcares@moscow.com" ymailto="mailto:moscowcares@moscow.com">moscowcares@moscow.com</a>><br>To: Moscow Vision 2020 <<a href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com" ymailto="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a>><br>Subject: [Vision2020] Better Minds Prevail in Idaho State Legislature<br> . . .<br>Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:43A65350-6A16-444A-8100-9024EF95FA1E@moscow.com" ymailto="mailto:43A65350-6A16-444A-8100-9024EF95FA1E@moscow.com">43A65350-6A16-444A-8100-9024EF95FA1E@moscow.com</a>><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>Courtesy of today's (February 11, 2017) Lewiston Tribune.<br><br>---------------------------------<br><br>Foreman's anti-abortion bill goes nowhere<br><br>A controversial anti-abortion bill that would charge mothers and doctors with first-degree murder won't be moving forward this session.<br><br>Sen.

Sad!<br><br> <br><br>It's no wonder intelligent life-long Republicans here in Latah County have<br>been worried for quite a few years and have quit being "party" people with<br>the spread of the rabid extremism that has infected the state and local<br>Republican parties. Perhaps that exodus is a significant factor in the<br>local Republican party not having a quality candidate to run for the senate<br>in the last election.<br><br> <br><br>Several weeks ago - after that first article - I heard rumors of a recall<br>effort. Does anyone know anything more about that?
