Feb. 11 (Sa), 23 Developing a new series - Sociology of the Feline. Cover page and Episode One
----------------
Attention! Due to the Pandemic, the preferred face-to-face class has to be compromised into the online format.
Course Title- Applied Felineology!
Credits- 3. 48 hours (based on WI state requirements).
Competencies - Upon completing this course, you will fully understand how to be proudly admired, adored, and most importantly, worshipped.
Instructor - Felineology professor Dr. Catcrystal Huang.
Location- Online, But, if the blue sky classroom, or on the refrigerator, inside the box/drawer, under the bed, on the window sill, and the rest of catclandestine places (f2f or blended) are requested, you guys all need to wear masks properly with 2 doses vaccinated, 6-foot distancing, drinking a lot of water, and keep a strong immune system.
Office hours: Any time beyond your catnaps or by the appointment when you are awake or feel bored.
Textbook: Co-authored by Dr. Catcrystal Huang and the previous feline Ph.Ds. "From Ancient Egypt to the Post-Modern Felines in Transforming the Homo Sapiens Species". 2nd ed. Publisher: LCH and Felines Inc.
Tech needs- Please read carefully. The following statement was revised. " Any artificial-repressive-forced tech-device consumption stifling Feline scratching Desire, Imagination, and Creativity will be eliminated."
Instead, please check the following tools. Let me know which one you prefer: Loom, Snagit, Soapbox, Camtasia, VEED, and Vidyard.
We will vote on coming Monday.
Class size: This year, 4 Ph.D. feline majestic students were Recruited from the local Humane Society as our 3rd cohort experiment.
Delivery format: So, the online will replace the previous face-to-face, one-on-one authentic felineological education.
Tuition/installments- To cover the course materials, the tuition is depending on catindividual's financial catpacity (恣備束貅). No feline student debts shall happen, and surely is not allowed! Why, because your instructor has been struggling to pay a total amount of $60,000 tuition bills over 8 years for a terminal degree (technically, 2, technology edu, and art edu). Thou, shall not suffer what your instructor has been through!
Payment Method- Any type of tuition installments will do EXCEPT mice, baby rabbits, birdies, moles, golfers, and the rest.
Grading system –
A, Rewarded with Feline fancy toys;
A+ Super-catnip;
A++ Home-made treats;
A+++ Luxury cat sauna/massage.
Classroom procedures- Only 2 classroom management mandates:
1. Everyone complies - Thou: shall not Kill... =^.^= !
2. Respect and protect the Feline 1st Amendment and the Feline Constitutional rights- everyone should meow, regardless of how loud it is, how different the catidiology is, or the Feline-Party affiliation is. You have the right not to meow back or engage in cat-fights as well as unnecessary seductive catwalks.
Your fur Colors, definitely make our classroom flamboyant. All Feline meowing Accents are welcome ( your instructor, Catcrystal actually, is bilingual - English and Meowglish. She meows with a very cute accent inherited from her Taiwanese mother tongue since she came to the US. at the age of 35 ! In fact, she prefers meowing to speaking in English!
Whether you were abandoned, abused, disabled, with different feline sexual orientations, out of wedlock, or from a broken family, you will not be judged by your socio-economic background. Your Life Chances to reach your feline potential are equally enhanced.
Seriously keep in mind - your feline student rights:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all felines are created equal, that you are endowed by the Almighty Powers with the most unalienable Rights, that among these are Feline 9 Lives, Feline Liberty and the pursuit of Feline Happiness of being deeply admired, adored and worshiped.
Good luck!
Have a supreme Categorical semester - meooooooow !

Feb. 7 (T), 2023 The proud plum blossoms; Rescue
Dr. Li Wenliang (李文亮,) was the first whistle-blower who warned his colleagues about the outbreak of the Coronavirus (from the knowledge of the previous SARS disaster) during the late December, 2019 to January of 2020 in Wuhan, meanwhile, Taiwan, was the first country to report the potential wide-spreading viral crisis to the WHO, but got an only "read" response. (The guardian of WHO, has become less sweet to that big country recently).
A couple of days later, Dr. Li was summoned to the Public Security Bureau and was accused of spreading false information and disturbing the social order.
Through serving many sudden patients, Dr. Li also became infected with the virus and died a few days later on Feb. 7, 2020 due to a dubious delayed treatment and negligence.
Later, more and more journalists started getting some facts, yet, either they were disappeared or were locked up.
This song (attached in the thread) 一剪梅 The proud plum blossom - in memory of Dr. Wenliang Li was recorded/added a brief translation, the day after Dr. Li passed away of Feb. 8, 2020.

Acapella - Dr. Xena LCH
A brief translation by Dr. Xena LCH
真情像草原廣闊 The true love shares with the grand horizon
層層風雨不能阻隔 Even the dangerous storms cannot stop him
總有雲開 日出時候 Be patient for the Sun rising again
萬丈陽光照亮你我 The rays of hope shine through us
真情像梅花開過 True love is like the snowy plum flowers blossoming
冷冷冰雪不能掩沒 The icy snow will not block the will of blooming
就在最冷 枝頭綻放 Exuberantly flourish in the coldest days
看見春天走向你我 Welcome the Spring to embrace
雪花飄飄北風嘯嘯 The snowflakes are dancing with the howling winds for the nordic tundra
天地 一片 蒼茫 The whole world is buried in the chilly gloom
一剪寒梅 傲立雪中 But you, the Plum blossoms, proudly stands tall in the snowy grim
只為 伊人 飄香 Sprinkle the flagrance, only for you
愛我所愛無怨無悔 The love, from the bottom of the heart, without regrets
此情 長留 心間 The everlasting love stays strong, always, in our hearts.
