My grandmother had a skunk as a pet, she had to have him descent. I believe his name was Ulysses S. Grant. They had a thing for giving their pets real people names. Even my mom’s last cat was Ringo “Two Sock” Starr… the Two Socks is a reference to Dancing with Wolves with Kevin Costner. Although we did have Piewacket & Rufus too… well I guess Rufus is a people name too. But no idea where Piewacket came from.

Pyewacket is the name of the cat from the old witchy movie Bell, Book, and Candle. With Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. It’s a great movie if you overlook the whole twist ending. Jack Lemmon was in it as well, he was my favorite character I think. It’s been ages since I watched it.

Makes sense, they would know or have seen that movie before. I was 5 when we had that cat. Lol

It’s a pretty good movie, one that I wish would be remade to be more witch-friendly.

@Flowing That is very cute! And from @Susurrus said, it sounds like some places might allow them to be pets! They sure can be stinky though- cleaning might be a nightmare!

I know that this challenge closed a day ago, but this is what I found about The Dragon(me).
I’m a Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac and Lunisolar Calendar and this is what I found.
The Dragon is the fifth of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. Everyone expected the powerful Dragon to arrive early on. However, he came after Rat, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit. When asked why he was so late, Dragon said that on the way, he saw a village suffering from drought. He had to stop and create rain for them. The Jade Emperor was happy when he heard of this noble deed and gave him the fifth position.
The Dragon is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支 / dì zhī) chén (辰) and the hours 7–9 in the morning. In the terms of yin and yang (阴阳 / yīn yáng), the Dragon is yang.

So I guess I am a Water Dragon and that is what I found about my Lunisolar Calendar and Chinese Zodiac.
