No big news to report so please enjoy some pictures of Sunday at Motor City Fur[ry] Convention this past spring.
Back in the convention hall, someone going fishing for cats.
They've got the interest of a tiger! And a skunk or maybe badger?

bunnyhugger isn't up for this, but the tiger? Someone's hooked.
On to the rodents SIG. You see the Emperor Rat and also the guinea pig.
bunnyhugger, of course, is not a rodent, but her friend and puppet Chitter is a squirrel and so qualifies.
The session of people mixing and mingling of course orbited the Emperor Rat, thanks to natural gravity.
And then everyone went downstairs to meet the rabbits and other rescue animals including, as you can see in the cage there, a pigeon.
Rabbits and goats. Note the one rabbit going to warp speed in the lower right corner there, so that they look like half of a pushme-pullyou rabbit.
Here's that earless rabbit again, wondering why we're so excited about an invisible set of ears.
Pigeon isn't interested in posing for pictures but would like more to eat.
I am staggered that they let fursuiters into the enclosure but it is stunning to see the rat looking like this.
Couple rabbits pillowing each other and staying out of the fuss with the fursuiters.
Trivia: A 1906 student rally at the University of Wisconsin, protesting rumors that the school might disband the football program, saw students chanting ``death to the faculty'', shouting ``put him in the lake'' at one professor, and burning effigies of three faculty members. Source: With Amusement For All: A History of American Popular Culture since 1830, LeRoy Ashby. The rumors came abut after several deaths on the gridiron left people wondering whether football could be reformed to not be preposterously and needlessly damaging to its players. Fortunately with the invention of the forward pass all football's player-health problems were solved forever.
