Damn cats! Why do we bring wild animals into the house, anyway?!??!
Because they have cute snores when they're curled up next to you, holding your wrist between their front paws.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am earwormed with "Oooh Child." I think my friendslist is somehow at fault, but I'm scared to go back.
I am in total fog this morning. I may need to go back to my car and lie down. And come back with coffee.

What is even happening?
I love Ooh Child, and it's a much better earworm than Cat Scratch Fever. Thanks, ita.

Now tagless for your comfort.
From reading the Columbus Dispatch this morning (I'd link, but the damn thing isn't free online), the guy who was arrested wasn't the owner of the alligator, he was a friend of the owner.
And the kitten in question had escaped from the gator's cage when animal control officers got there. As did the ALLIGATOR. When the officers got there, the two men were kicking the alligator, too--so it appears they are equal opportunity animal abusers.
The asshole then threw the kitten about 15 feet where it fell onto a concrete sidewalk and got a concussion. It's been treated and will be adopted.
So this isn't a simple case of feeding live prey to a pet but obviously observed examples of abusing animals (and people).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We were over at a friends yesterday and spent a little time watching out wedding video (which the friends shot and had just gotten a copy of from another friend who has been editing it forever - we don't randomly force people to watch our wedding video, honest) and they're not quite 2 year old daughter spent about 5 minutes asking "Watch Elmo? Watch Elmo? Watch Elmo?" without pause. It was cute because I could, you know, leave and not hear that all day long.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Coffee! I haven't had coffee yet! And there's some not 5 feet away - score!
I heard the Mt. McKinley story on the Daily Show. I vaguely remember hearing stories about someone organizing climbing expeditions just to clean up Everest - not even try to summit, just go around picking up litter, etc. It's so weird that that's necessary.

If Owen's watching Elmo, if I put my hand in front of his face, he will push it out of the way. Repeatedly. It'd be funny if it wasn't kind of scary.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of TDS, Jon was en fuego last night with Bernard "Fathead" Goldberg. Really on his game and not letting Goldberg gettng away with platitudes.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
In other news, one of the BIG disasvantages of my adorable chamring daughter is the fact that I have had "Elmo's song" in my head for DAYS. I shelve books singing, "La la la, La la la, Elmo's song..."
I don't even see my niece and nephew that often and I occasionally have that in my head. It is quite pervasive.
