Default Le Bob-Tailed Cat !

A Bob-Cat was originally called the Bob-Tailed Cat because instead of having a long tail like a Housecat; it had a kinda Bob-Tail. This in turn was shortened to Bobcat as it was the only tailed cat like that and everybody knew what you were talking about . It was also known as the Red Lynx; but that might be a misnomer as some are black and white ! It only roams in north and south america; as it is unknown in europe and elsewhere ! It serves to keep down the mice and other small animals.
The shortening of words seems to be an american thing as you might be standing on a street corner in the US and someone will come up and ask you Sup ? They are not talking a foreign language; but this is an extreme contraction of "What is going on ?" or "What is Up" ?; in other words Sup ? In the future english might disappear completely into contractions, such as lol ! So that ; if you were transported to the year 3024; you would not be able to understand anybody, even if they were talking a form of english ! Much as if we were transported to the year 1024; we might not be able to understand the old english or french of the era ! But I digress. Ha !

Speaking of Taylor Swift; she seems to have a house in every state ! I know she has one in Massachusetts, and another in Nashville, and a Large Apartment in New York, and also a House in California. So one never knows where she is ! She will probably get one in France, too when she goes there !
