Words with Webster
Hi, friends! Today on Words with Me, I have a really neat
word for you: kneazle. Kneazles are creatures
from Harry Potter. They look like big cats with spotted fur, large ears, and a
lion’s tail. They can be aggressive. They are also very intelligent and can
guide their owners home. You need a license to legally own a kneazle, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of getting one!
Cat/kneazle hybrids are possible, and it has been suggested
that Crookshanks, Hermione Granger’s cat, is part kneazle. Please enjoy this
video of an animatronic kneazle at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park:
Friendly Fill-Ins
And now it’s time for Friendly
Fill-Ins, from 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader. They are a fun way to learn a little bit about the authors of
the blogs you read. The first two questions, answered by old SoLT this week, are from Ellen of 15andmeowing, and the next
two, answered by Real Cat Paisley, are
from Annie of McGuffy’s Reader.
1.
The most interesting museum I have been to is the Freer|Sackler Galleries, part of the
Smithsonian. They’re undergoing renovation now, and I look forward to visiting
in the fall when everything is open again.
2.
The most interesting historical place I have been to is the Basilica Cistern
in Istanbul. This is a 6th-century cistern near the Hagia Sophia.
Part of Dan Brown’s Inferno takes
place there.
3. Pollen is back! Mommy is sneezing a lot.
Pollen is back here too!
ReplyDeleteI want a Kneazle, they are cute :) Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. The Basilica Cistern sounds very interesting. It is funny what we think of as old in the US is nothing compared to other countries. Sorry your folks kept the dog, I bet you can be friends though :)
ReplyDeleteVery useful post. This is my first time i visit here. I found so many interesting stuff in your blog especially its discussion. Really its great article. Keep it up.

Oh, now I want a pet Kneazle! I couldn't get into the Harry Potter books and now I'm sad I didn't! I hate spring allergies ... I call it headache season ;)
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I've never read a Harry Potter book or watched a movie? Shocking, I know. Lots of sneezes at our house too :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, obviously, I need a Kneazle. Oh, wait, I have Chloe Jo. *wink* Your historical place sounds amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteFel better with the allergies. I know they can be miserable. Yes, those dogs...they stay and stay. And are so worth it. Hugs.
Maybe the dog will grow on you, kitty. They have a way of doing that.
ReplyDeleteThe pollen has my sneezer working over time these days. Aren't allergies fun? haha But, pollen means more beautiful plants and so I can deal with it, sneezing and all.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to the Smithsonian, but I believe that David went with his family years ago. It sounds like a wonderful place.
Maybe you'll get use to the doggy being there and you two can become great life-long friends. Maybe its worth a try. :)
Have a blessed weekend!
Oh man! Princess Nagger would LOVE to have a cat/kneazle! I better not let her see this... ;) I'd love to go to the Smithsonian - we might have to add that to our next road trip wish list! that 6th century cistern sounds very cool - I love historical places! Sorry about the pollen - while I don't have full allergies like my BFF does, the pollen does annoy my sinuses greatly. So here's hoping the pollen phase passes quickly! :) I love that the dog stayed... ;) Our cats get annoyed by our dogs daily. :) Have a great weekend!
