I don’t think I’ve done one of these posts from Kelowna yet. I think I was waiting to see if my cat would survive the move; I swear she didn’t eat the entire week she was homeless (and at Dad’s or a kennel) because when I took her back on the 5th she was all ribcage with fur around it. My cat does not handle stress well. Neither do I, really, but I wouldn’t forget to eat. Shebang seems to be okay now, though, and is enjoying the novelty of morning sunbeams (my last place faced west).
The view is down into the parking lots of this and nearby apartment buildings, which gives her lots to look at, what with all the ghetto action going down. Did I mention there was a drug dealer in my building?
There’s not much more to say about The Bang, who’s currently sitting on my lap, purring and licking my arm because longpig is so tasty. On to the links!
I snorted at an inappropriate place and time this week after a friend sent me a link to this commercial:
A new Simon’s Cat cartoon came out a few weeks ago. Yet again his work imitates my life in such an extreme way I wonder if someone’s webcamming me for ideas.
Also a few weeks ago I saw this news piece going around saying that cats can modify their purrs in such a way as to control their owners’ minds. Something like that. Yes kitty, whatever you say kitty. Like, they might add a little mew in the purr so you feel sorry for them and give them stuff. The scientist to come up with this idea is Dr. Karen McComb and here’s a random article on the subject. I figure she’s probably right; when I think about it, why the hell am I so nice to my cat, when she in turn tap dances on me while I sleep? If it’s not brainwashing or real time mind control, it’s a brain parasite making you dopey.
Happy weekend everyone!
