Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

but I would say it's anthropomorphizing to ascribe human, ego-driven motivations to animal behaviors.
Kittenish is tuna-driven. Whole different vibe.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Okay, see y'all later peeps. I'm going back home to the land of no internet access. (And yes, there's a whole post I didn't write yet about the frustrations of being sans internet for a whole week.)

I know my cats have nightmares. They'll jump up out of a sound sleep, stare around, stare at us, shake themselves, and lay back down. I think everyone knows that critters dream. Heck, I've seen them do REM.

Not to interrupt the cat chat, but is Gmail down for anyone else?

I'd even go so far as to say that I've seen mammals grieve.

When my aunt died, their Siamese ran round and round the house day after day, screaming and obviously looking for something. She had never done that when my aunt or uncle were gone for a few days. The vet finally told them that Ling Ling would never be happy in that house without my aunt, but could possibly settle down in another home. My uncle gave her to a friend, and she eventually settled down. Grief? Recognition of some major change? Lack of the usual food person?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Heck, I've seen them do REM.

We call that their RPM cycle, for Rapid Paw Movement.

We'll never know. Cat had her tongue.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Cat had her tongue.

Haven't lived with many Siamese, have you?
