My Cat Gregory

Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly
lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride,
however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time
indoors watching television and growing fat.
He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His
familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat
food in favor of only the most expensive brands.
Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending
some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to
be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory
does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to
humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends.
After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to
himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious,
but endearing, habits.













Rafflesia Arnoldii
Rafflesia Arnoldii is a rare flower that is well known because of the size of the flower's petals and the
smell of rotten meat that it gives out.
This enormous and rare flower grows in the forest of Southeast Asia, including the Phillipines. Its large
flower can grow to 3 meters in diameter and weigh up to 11 kilograms. It does not have any leaves,
stem, or roots and because of lacking clorophyls this plant can not photosynthesize making it a
parasite, living on other plants nutrition. The flower has five petals red in colour and has white spots,
which surrounds the middle of the flower much like a hole. At the base of the flower there is a part
which has needles and contains the reproduction parts of the flower.
Rafflesia Arnoldii reproduces with the help of flies that are attracted to the flowers smell (which some
observers say smells much like bad meat and rotten eggs mixed). The flower only lasts for five to
seven days and then dies.
