"Some Strange Feelin'" is by Davis Coen, and is available at Mevio.com.
"Our Pet Rat" is an essay published anonymously in Chambers's Journal of Popular Literature, Science, and Arts in 1878. I found it in Google Books. The publisher, William Chambers, was the Lord Provost of Edinburgh who was included as a character in the film Greyfriars Bobby. (He paid for Bobby's dog license so the dog would not be put down by the authorities after the dog's master had died.)

Notice that, at about 53 seconds in, Gibbs turns on McGee with his fur fluffed out like an angry cat.
"Ain't It Strange" is by Bosco and Peck, and is available at Mevio.com.
A friend of mine went with me to The International Gem and Jewelry Show in Rosemont, IL. She and her husband also went to the Anime Central Convention, which was held in the same building that weekend. I would have gone to both, too, if it weren't for the facts that (a) I still had to grade a lot of final papers for my classes, (b) I am a huge wuss and a whole day of fun would have been too much for me physically, and (c) I did not have enough money lying around loose to pay for both shows.
As it was, I got to take some pictures of some awesome costumes. Most people were very gracious when I asked if I could photograph them (getting asked is a compliment, I'm told). I, on the other hand, was very pleased that whenever I asked someone to pose, three or four other people immediately started photographing my models too. I took that as a signal that I have a good eye for costumes -- even though I know zippo about anime.
I've tried looking these characters up, and all I found was an ad image for a site, not the series:
See them there? Right in the middle? Blue eye patches, blue eye patches!
The two girls (I think) in blue warned me that they were not from the same series, and I told them, "I don't care. I don't know anything about series. I just like your costumes." They were not impressed with my answer, as you can tell from their facial expressions.
This guy is not from a series. Lots of people just dress up as animals.
I am mainly interested in her arm armor, which she made. My friends told me later that there was a girl with homemade, lightweight armor all over her body, in curlicues reminiscent of (but less chilly than) Princess Leia's outfit in Jabba the Hutt's den.
Eeeee! The guy was walking around with the box slightly open, and just his eyes peering out. I wish I knew who this was supposed to be.
Gas mask! And, perhaps, Waldo.
Unicorn!
