oops! Strike the bonus on question #8. I should have double checked before I posted. My info on that is out-dated. I apologize for that.

What do I spy with my little eyes!!?? Someone trying to cheat his way out of not "being allowed" to post for a week on this thread by using a double instead!! Devious, very devious ;p

ok, Lucian has 4 1/2
Rosamund has 6
PA has 7, although one of the answers is technically correct, (and you get credit for it) I was looking for the other 'common' name. Let's see if anyone gets it.
and I also forgot about the other swimming cat. *shakes head sighing* I'm just brain dead today.
And I'm down to 5 from 13 cats. *grin* although at one time I had 33 of them. Horrified my son to discover that his mother fit the definition of a 'crazy cat lady'.

So far, Android is in the lead with 7 total. Rosamund and Lucian did give an acceptable second answer for #2, but it technically is not the domestic cat that we are looking for. Rosamund is in second place right now with six correct answers, and Lucian has 4 1/2 (we'll give you half credit for the 'Chinese' part of #4, but there are two different types of endangered tigers with Chinese in their names, and you weren't specific about which one.). Any other animal lovers out there?? Remember, Google is a no-no. ;-)
