Bombing Around with Cats

The bombing with cats is a difficult matter
As the history of warfare is blurry
First strap on firepower and light with a spatter
And hope toward your foes will it scurry.

My apologies.  But two things came to mind reading this recent article entitled "Cat Bombs More Prevalent Than Previously Thought": the image looks like a spacey sci-fi cartoon from the 1980s (even though it's centuries old), and this is one of the dumber ideas our species has had.

But wait.  They did it with birds, too.

Love My Dear Moth

It’s true we receive questions out of the blue...such as this one from Dan Rigney:

I'm a big fan of The Face in the Frost but sadly don't own a copy. I'm wondering if I am remembering correctly about an encounter with a giant moth? I manage the New York City band the Moths and we're looking for references and illustrations for a gallery page for the 2.0 version of our website. If you can remember any other mentions of moths in Bellairs work, please let me know. Much appreciated!
