I thought it wasn't worthy of posting in Beep Me, but if someone could send me some catch-cat-ma in about 45 minutes, that would be super. Saturday, when I tried getting Chumley to the vet, the little guy managed to burst open the door of his carrier, and I couldn't get him corralled again until well after the appointment was to begin.

However, today he'll greet me at the door, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, eager for me to feeeeeeeeeed him. Little does he suspect....

Yay, Kate P!!! That sounds awesome!!

My cat runs and hides the second I get the carrier out. But my apartment is small so there's not many places he can hide.

The little bastard's fast when he wants to be....

I keep a cozy blanket in Ruby's carrier, burried in the closet. It's her hiding spot. So if I want her to get in the carrier, I just pick up the claw clippers and in she goes.

Ozzie will go in the carrier of his own accord if I leave it out. Unfortunately, he also pees the minute he realizes it's actually going somewhere, but getting him into it isn't a struggle.

So if I want her to get in the carrier, I just pick up the claw clippers and in she goes.

Ooh, that's evil.

My cat hates to go in the carrier and resists some, but when the vet is done examining him and I open the carrier door, he immediatly gets inside on his own. Like he knows that he has to ride in the carrier before he can go back home.

Devi has taken to napping in the soft carrier. I also have a hard one buried in the back of the closet that Mister Kitty climbs over a tool box and rolls of tp to go hang out in. I lost him so many times before I found that hiding spot.

WELCOME TO NEW YORK, NEIGHBOR BOT

::BEEP::

ita, GG's dependence on people not telling each other what they need to this season is annoying me. To the extent that I can't help but believe that they didn't rely on that device so much in past seasons. But maybe I am just getting crankier and my memory is bad.

Congrats, Kate P.!

I have yet to buy matzoh or prepare for Passover in any other way. Not Sedering until tomorrow, though. So the procrastination is at least consistent.

Five-hundred million year old worm shit

Geologists have discovered fossilized worm crap that's 500 million years old. Lund University scientists Mats Eriksson and Fredrik Terfelt uncovered the tiny piles of shit in a rock face near Malmo in southern Sweden. From the Associated Press:

Eriksson told the newspaper they examined the level of phosphorus of the samples and that "we realized pretty soon that it could not be anything other than coprolites, in other words fossilized dung..."

...They are working on an article about the find that will be published in an international magazine shortly.

"It is inevitable to joke about this, so we gave it the title 'Anomalous faces and ancient feces,'" Eriksson said.
