*** I WILL START THE CHARACTER REGISTRATION HERE AND NOW ***

RUFFIAN ===>  BAST ~ THE EGYPTIAN CAT GODDESS



BAST =  The Egyptian Cat Goddess

Areas of Influence:
The Egyptian cat goddess, Bast, had numerous areas of influence that developed over time.
In the early days she was the fierce lion headed Goddess of the lower Nile
who protected the Pharaoh and the sun God Ra.

(===> WILL SHE PROTECT AMERICAN PHAROAH ALSO? <=== )

This is why she has the title of "Goddess of protection."
In this role she became Goddess of the rising sun
and holder of the Utchat, the all seeing eye of Horus.
Statues of this Egyptian Goddess would be placed in households to protect them from thieves.

Later she was depicted with the head of a domestic cat, representing her more nurturing aspects.
They likened this Goddess to  Artemis  and she also became associated with the moon
* (INTERESTINGLY -- I AM AN ARCHER + HAVE USED THE NAME ARTEMIS)

The Goddess was linked to the music and dance
due to the special rattle that she carried known as the Sistrum.
    * (INTERESTINGLY -- I AM A SONGWRITER + FORMER PROF DANCER)

A Patron Goddess of fire fighters due to the unusual Egyptian belief that if a CAT
   ran through a burning household she would draw the flames out behind her 
                * (NO WONDER I HAVE NIGHTMARES OF A HOME FIRE!)
                                                        

                Although her cult was centered in Bubastis ---
She was worshipped throughout the whole of the lower Nile region.
              * (SO MAYBE A "PIONEER OF THE NILE?")

            Strengths: Protector, sensual and CARING figure
             * (AS SEEN IN FLEXIBILITY OF LATE TO GATE!)

Weaknesses: Chameleon like (*GEMINI)
Fierce when Threatened <========   
             * (WEAKNESS? I CONSIDER IT A STRENGTH!)
                                         
                                       Symbolism
Presented as a Lion headed or CAT headed woman often carrying an ankh or papyrus wand.
                 She is associated with the all seeing eye (the utchat)
                     * (SO BE SURE U FOLLOW CONTEST RULES!) 

Sacred Animals: Lions and Domestic CATS
        * (HAD A PERSIAN CATTERY + ALWAYS HAVE CATS IN HOME)

Sacred Plants: CATNIP <===     GEE == BIG SURPRISE EH!

                                             

                         
                                         =^,,^=

**Sorry this took me so long to complete. 
Life is total chaos and upside down right now.
I hope to be back in Full Force in a couple months.....

                                         


                          YEP.... HERE COMES A NEW UPDATE
    PARTLY AN APOLOGY THAT THE AWARDS HAVE TAKEN THIS LONG
                                             

HOWEVER DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES WAY BEYOND OUR CONTROL
                       THE DELAY WAS UNFORESEEABLE

               THE ACTUAL TEXT WAS DONE ON JAN 17TH
AND I SUPPOSE I COULD HAVE JUST POSTED IT NEKKED + UNADORNED
                                                 
                                                   

BUT WITHOUT THE MAGIC OF TIGER DANCER'S GRAPHICS
  I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO POST IT THAT WAY

SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF PACKING UP AN ENTIRE HOUSE
OF YEARS OF 'STUFF' ~ IN ORDER TO BE OUT BY APRIL 1ST

           NOT ONLY WORKING ALL DAY ALL WEEK
BUT ALSO TRYING TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO MOVE INTO
NOT EASY WITH MANY PLACES WHO WON'T ACCEPT CATS!
                                   

SO THAT IS WHY THE AWARDS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED / POSTED YET
              ALSO WHY SHE HAS BEEN MIA IN SEVERAL CONTESTS

                            SO BE PATIENT MY LIL POSSUMS
               GOOD THINGS ARE USUALLY WORTH THE WAIT
                IT WON'T BE TOO MUCH LONGER, HOPEFULLY 

     WE BOTH APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE + UNDERSTANDING!
                                         

                                         

APOLOGY FOR MAKING FALSE PROMISES AND RAISING HIGH HOPES 

UNFORTUNATELY TIGER DANCER RAN INTO A TECHNICAL SNAFU
OVER THE WEEKEND ON TOP OF ALL THE OTHER 'STUFF' GOIN ON
                                           

SHE IS TRYING HER BEST TO GET ALL THE GRAPHICS
            FOR MY 2014 MEOW MIX AWARDS

WITH MY CEREMONY PRESENTATION BEING SO LENGTHY ---
IT IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCESS TO FIND
THE SIGNIFICANT GRAPHIC TO COMPLIMENT MY WORDS     
                               

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING
                                         

HOPEFULLY   THE SHOW WILL GO ON THIS WEEK 

                                             

RUMOUR HAS IT THAT THE MEOW MIX AWARDS PRESENTATION MAY APPEAR
                      AS SOON AS LATER TONIGHT --- SO STAY TUNED
                                                  :chickendance:

TIGER DANCER HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE GRAPHICS
TO COMPLIMENT MY WORDS SINCE JANUARY 17th ....
WHILE TRYING TO PREPARE FOR A MAJOR MOVING EVENT SOON

OTHERWISE........................THE AWARDS WOULDA BEEN UP WEEKS AGO
BUT WITHOUT HER MAGIC ENHANCEMENT TO MAKE MY WORDS ANIMATED...
MY AWARDS CEREMONY WOULDA APPEARED NAKED + LACKING...................

                           

THE 2014 MEOW MIX AWARDS WERE COMPLETED 1/17   

HOWEVER,  TO PRESENT THEM WITHOUT THE ADDED
ENHANCEMENT OF THE GRAPHICS BY TIGER DANCER
WOULD BE LIKE SPAGHETTI WITHOUT SAUCE~ 
                               

DUE TO SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES
           SUCH AS PREPARING TO MOVE ---
        AND IF YOU EVER HAD TO DO THAT
  YOU CAN APPRECIATE WHAT A HASSLE IT IS! 
   
THUS, HER TIME TO 'PLAY' HAS BEEN GREATLY REDUCED 
                              

SHE IS TRYING HER BEST TO COMPLETE THE GRAPHICS
AND HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE MUCH LONGER TILL THEY APPEAR

                       AS THE SAYING GOES
      GOOD THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR   

                                     

                 TWAS THE BARN BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

Twas The Night Before Christmas
The Barn Was A-Buzzzzz
With Whinnies And Nickers
'Cause That's What Horse Does!

The Legend Was Echoed
Through All Of The Walls
Excitement Was Mounting
In All Of The Stalls!


The Weanlings, In Wonder
Had Heard Of The Tale
As They All Gathered Round
To Munch On A Bale!

The Fillies, The Geldings,
The Stallions And Mares
Then Told Of The Legend
Amidst Wide Eyed Stares.


When All Of A Sudden
They Heard On The Roof
The Flutter Of Wings
The Landing Of Hoof!

His Wings How They Glistened
His Whinny So Proud
As He Entered The Barn
Astounding The Crowd.....

Who Stood There Awaiting
The Pegasus Dear
The Truth Of The Legend
Was Blatantly Clear!


The Rider Descended
From Pegasus' Back
His Hat And His Boots
Were Glistening Black

His Spurs How They Jingled
With A Wonderful Song
That Would Echo In Memories
For All The Year Long!


He Gave Out The Gifts
Of Carrots And Treats
Then Sprang To His Saddle
For A Hasty Retreat....

For The Hour Was Late
And He Just Had To Leave
But Now, All The Weanlings
Would Finally Believe!


And As Pegasus Flew Then
Away In The Night
The Horses Enchanted
By The Wondrous Sight

Had Hearts Filled With Joy
And The Barn Filled With Love
And Mares Will Tell Foals
Of Pegasus From Above!

SO SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE RACE CALL RESULTS
    WILL NOT BE POSTED UNTIL LATER ON MONDAY
          DUE TO RUFFIAN NOT FEELING WELL
                               

        IT'S TOO HARD TO TYPE IN PAIN IN BED   

SO PLEASE FORGIVE THE DELAY AND REMEMBER
GOOD THINGS ARE WORTH WAITING FOR 

HOPEFULLY THE CAT-ZILLA WILL FEEL BETTER TOMORROW
       AND TREAT YOU TO A VERY SPECIAL RACE CALL

                IF NOT I WILL POST AN UPDATE

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE + UNDERSTANDING
