I wonder what the food bill is for that kitten swarm...

What a difference the pupil size and shape makes! From unfathomable, cold and "alien" to huggable cuddle muffin in less than 3 seconds!

The LSD should be kicking in right...about...now!

That seems to be a "thing", but why, !

We have pareidolia, right?

For a cat a cucumber is evolution-ese for SNAKE

Is that where the word gherkin comes from?

I couldn't say--but it is one of my favorite words

Wallace and Ladmo was one of the greatest TV shows for kids ever made--and one of the stars played a character who hated children--and talks about how he was once struck by a "tremendous gherkin " hurled by one of the brats.

Once one of the character's asked the other what his hobby was..."I'm a philatelist"

Sometimes on rare occasion I miss being a kid and that harmless fun of kids TV, okay, truth is I still find kid's movies easy to watch. Think that's why I kind of embraced Halloween when it isn't really hugely an Aussie thing (though it has become more popular). You get to dress up and create this fantasy world with decorations and eat trashy food

I’m not afraid of heights but I am afraid of falling. *shudders*

 

[tharpdevenport]

That's scary shit. Cats fall of couches just by dozing off. And even experienced leapers misjudge and falls off of surfaces they want to leap onto.

Plus, having watched the video of a cat who fell from a high rise apartment balcony, landed on a glass pain and injured itself badly, I know what can happen even if your cat survive a big multi-story fall.

cats and books/libraries are a natural pairing .

I think it's more about the shelves. My cats always liked forcing themselves into/onto my DVD shelves, since they're right behind the couch.

Arya always helps us put away groceries. Pretty sure she's just in it for the bags.

She actually ran upstairs wearing her bag skirt for me to get if off her- she pulled it out of the recylcing bin!

 

[Gary Mitchell]

My cat Charlie always crawls into one of the bags. I pick it up and swing her around. She gets a ride in the sheets when I change them too. I never thought I'd grow up to be a carnival ride.

You CAN be anything you want when you grow up!

Hmm, you never hear about the places big enough where one can "swing a cat".
