We had one cat who would fling his considerable form at you whenever you talked on the phone.
What a strange reaction! I love eccentric cats. The slinky-playing cat also likes to dip each piece of her kibble in water and then eat it out of her paw.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had a cat once that was in love with the dial tone on my phone, and was really devious about being able to find ways to knock the phone off the hook so he could hear it. I finally had to move furniture around so that I could close it in a drawer.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Crap. Crap. Crap.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. (My understanding is it's an out-of-control radical faction of the union.) Bob was telling me this morning that the union wants to lower the retirement age to 20.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This. Still no word on why I fainted.
I am about to be fries and duck curry.

In future, please only faint languidly onto downy pillows. Thank you.

There really isn't enough languid in my life. Must redress.

What a strange reaction!
We figured it must be that he thought you were talking to him, and he liked to be carried when you talked to him. If there was a person standing nearby, he didn't do it. Also? You were guaranteed to stay in one spot and lavish attention on him, what with the short cord and all.
He had some odd tics. We handraised him from a couple days old, so some were probably our fault. He was a very nice cat.
I am a listerine strip, if I were to believe other people's fortunes.
Mmm, shoes.... but I can't get over there today. Maybe this weekend. Though I'm still in post-holiday frugal till it hurts mode, so....
(I don't need to be. I think it is just the horror of the Big Numbers on my cc-statement. Even though they are/were totally budgetted for. They are just Big.)
