Feline Follies

[Sgt_G]

We had Siamese cats when I was a kid. We always had three or four, sometimes six or seven, not counting all the kittens Mom sold over the years.

My sister was in thespians, working back stage / set design, the year the high school did The King And I. My sister borrowed Mom's life-sized porcelain Siamese cat figurines to place around the set. On opening night, she took Ming-Li, our momma cat, and put her on-stage before the curtains went up. Ming-Li sat there the whole first act, just watching her face and ears, and then jumped down and followed the actors off-stage at the end of the scene. The director was annoyed and said people were more interested in watching the *bleeping* cat than the play itself.

"Watering" him? With an oral syringe?

Yeah, a 12ml syringe you get from a dentist.
I bought a bunch on ebay years ago, as funny as a hose would be ↓↓↓↓

Garden hose
Just kidding.

↑↑↑↑ Maybe if he ever needs a good "cleaning out".

 

[Redfern]

Oh my merciful Mogg! Now I have this twisted mental image of a cat getting the "jet" setting of a garden hose "pistol" right in the face. Cartoon fashion, the cat starts to "inflate" until it reaches a certain "critical volume" at which point water is, uh, "released' from the opposite end at higher pressure, allowing it to return to normal dimensions!

I'm certain that happened in at least 3 Tom & Jerry cartoons.

 

[Redfern]

No doubt the "input" angle, but the aft "release" aspect? Now we're getting into the realm of "Robot Chicken" and other "after hours" programming!

Anytime someone mentions Siamese - this always comes to mind:

I dunno ... maybe that says something about the quality of the acting.

Or the directing.

And yet another shot of my boy Junior, staring me down last night when snacks were not arriving quickly enough.

 

[KimMH]

What a pretty boy. Must be hard to resist

"You want me to do what?! But it's food. You really want me to pet the food? Oh, alright, if it makes you happy. But you know you're weird, right?"

 

[StarCruiser]

And a short time later...the bird "disappeared".

"Nyah, I look like a panther, and you don't." - "Oh, stop it. You're just jealous because of my fluffy fur. Besides, I look like a tiger, and that's way cooler."

it's more efficient to store your cats vertically although the wisdom of doing it right after a bath remains to be seen
