I'm a real bitch

[vvvexation]

This morning Ki was lying near the edge of my bed purring as I brushed my hair, and when he stretched out and started to roll over I could see that his back end was about to roll right off the bed. For a moment I considered putting a hand out to stop him--but only for a moment. The next second, he was digging his front claws into the blankets in a desperate bid to keep his front end from following his back; unfortunately I didn't see if he was successful or not, because I was too busy falling down giggling.

Sometimes I worry that the ASPCA will come knocking on my door any day now. But then I remember that Ki's other human is even crueler to him than I am.

No, I think you are not alone. Sometimes I look at the cats and wonder, "How are you not dead?" I do like the after-the-fact "I meant to do that" look I sometimes get. Sometimes they seem so smart and sometimes . . . . If they were humans they'd be on the Darwin Awards.

its that 9 lives thing. We underestimate their resiliancy, we judge it based on the human body with is really very fragile. Cat bodies are MUCH better designed which is why they are killers and we are lunch... or least sans technology we are.

Watch a momma cat with her kittens and be freaked out at how rought she is with them.

Sometimes I wish I wish I wish I could understand what they are saying. The grey one is rather talkative. Of course, we humanize them and presume that the incessant meowing means something . . .

And, yes, I agree, we hewmans are pathetically weak compared to other animals. Heads so big we barely make it out and then we, for all our big heads, are useless poop making machines for a few months (or, in some cases, years) before we become relatively useful.

And does everyone know cos? Though, perhaps, you profile leads me to believe it to be less surprising than most.

Oh please, if you want to know someone who knows everyone... John Perry Barlow is on my friends list... that man knows the WORLD.. cos is a rank amature compared to him, but then again, cos is at least 1/2 his age.

Rather than finding one person who knows everyone, I seem to be acquiring a few people who know a lot of people, which, by nature, ends up making me feel like a (sometimes weak) link.

GRIN!

I like befriending folks who know everyone, and then having them introduce me around... GRIN!

As sociologists will tell you, never underestimate the strength of weak ties.

Considering that Preia is currently balancing (in an *extremely* wobbly sort of manner) on the top of the (open) hallway door where she was just plunked down by Emmett, who is trying to get her to grab a cat treat several feet away on top of the door trim...

...and has been put in or on no less than four similarly precarious perches in the last hour since we and the cats got to the apartment...

...I think the ASPCA would have more serious offenders to attend to if they started going after cat harassers.

Not if they continue to define themselves as cat entertainers....
