If you think the Pug can clean your monitor, wait until you see the cat clean your monitor.

The cat’s tongue…

When our cat scarfs his moist food placed on his chrome Wetnoz serving-plate, the surface looks like a mirror. There is nothing left, just a haze-free shine. You could not get the same results with sandpaper, yet that is what his tongue can feel like on your face in the middle of the night.

A Grooming Tool and More
A cat’s ability to groom itself is the result of numerous knobs called papillae on the surface of a cat’s tongue. Located at the tongue’s center, the papillae form backward-facing hooks containing large amounts of keratin, the same material found in human fingernails. These hooks provide the abrasiveness a cat needs for self-grooming. Read the rest of this entry »

USDA recalls 143,000 pounds of meat.

CALIFORNIA—The U.S. Department of Agriculture initiated the largest meat recall in U.S. history today, recalling 143 million pounds of beef from a macabre California slaughterhouse that chopped up downer cows—a rich source of mad cow disease—and sold them to school districts across the nation.

This post celebrates World Animal Day and Bless the Animals. Follow the links to learn more about PM’s initiative which started on October 4 07

Designers and their following have a go at animal-powered messaging.

Everybody’s Poultry Magazine, January 1952 Dairy Today, January 2008

Was problem solving different 50 years ago? In design you didn’t have the computer at your finger tips. Nor Google. Nor blogs.

Blogs offer speedy feedback whether you wish it or not. Speaking of blogs, one can’t help noticing which blogs consist of one sentence, grunt or bleep commentary and those which are a bit longer winded. Blogs that generate the most in-depth discussion are politics, religion, science, technology, art and design. Probably because of their philosophical and analytical nature. One does wonder what a pet blog would look like if political, religious, aesthetics zealots would permeate the commentary.
Think it’s possible to intellectualize poop?

The upside to the rhetoric and commentary the blog format provides: opinions, inspirations, recollections, facts, networking, and not least of all, reading pleasure. Want another opinion? Pet bloggers, are grunters.

If you wish to have a front row seat in a discussion focusing on animal imagery visit designobserver Everyone loves to observe a good conversation! BTW we are supportive of the new cover design by D. J. Stout, Pentagram.

PM loves it because where there is conversation there is growth. We are all for raising animal awareness and continue to collect works that showcase animals in commercial messaging media via Bless the Animals.

March 08 will mark our first year anniversary. With 900 (estimated) posts here are reader’s choice favorites…
