Re: What's a Squillion?


Since posting my Squillion photo, I've had a couple of people ask what a Squillion was.

Before I was a member of the Cat Blogosphere, I though a Squillion was like, more than a million...and even though before I spent all my disposable income on real cats instead of "collectable cats" even I, who have enough cat s#@t to fill a museum my mom used to say,didn't have a Squillion!

Well, now I do...though I will probably keep the number at one...that way it's even more special to me! If you Google Squillion, not a whole lot comes up about their origin, but maybe someone out there in the CB can fill us in...I think Jeter Harris has a zillion Squillions, maybe he knows...
Til then, here's some Squillion pix I found out there by Googling...

  1. I am new to cat blogging as well and wasn't really sure what it was all about either. In fact, I thought it was a fad that I had missed out on. The other day, I was reading www.catblogosphere.com a little closer, and found some info on the squillions. I'm glad we are both sort of clued in now.

  2. Calvin has a squillion too. We found them a couple of years ago at Walgreens. Sometimes you can still find them there.

  5. You can even adopt a VIRTUAL squillion! It's true! That way, you can have as many as you want and they're FREE!
