I normally make sure to have some hard candy or something around for if I get blood sugar wackiness. But I ran out a little while ago, and forgot to get more.
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
More fun with hamster balls.
Quite possibly the cutest thing evah.
Their point is that cats kept indoors live longer. I think it's discounts quality of life, but hey, that's just my opinion.
If you live in a relatively safe area and the cats want to go outside, why not? Some rescue people are just...odd. My cat hates the outside, so it's not an issue. I mean is truly afraid of the outside and only goes out under extreme protest and in a carrier. And in my case that's good because I live 1/2 block from a major interstate and wouldn't let him out anyway.
Suzi, I hope you and your brain got some good sleep.
And now, I'm off for my first day of work in 3 1/2 months!
OK, call me kooky. But, aren't cats outdoor naturally? Aren't they kindof the type that likes to patrol an area?
THIS!!!!
nods so hard, head falls off
I mean, granted The Cat Daniel has been housebound for more than a year now, what with us living in Bangkok on the 18th floor, but in principle YES - cats should get to go outside, if outside is an option, without people screaming 'Cat Abuse! Cat Abuse!' That is just infuckingsane.
Meanwhile, Vortex should totally buy the shoes (it was shoes, wasn't it?), and MemFault should get the new tattoo, and Juliana should get the Superhero Boots. Bigtime.
And Mr Reason killed me with the shoe-design and -giving. Good job, LoomyBob AdorablePants!
Meanwhile, I am All Macced Up!
...although I stopped off in the 'net cafe on the way home to check in with y'all, rather than trying to do the WiFi thing straight off the bat.
Excitingly, there were no Instructions/Idiots' Guide To MacUse available from the iStudio Store. Or at least, there were, but they were in Thai.

Still, it's very shiny. I need to give it a name.
I live in the Northern VA suburbs, just 20 minutes outside of Washington, DC (traffic permitting). DH was walking our dogs one morning just before dawn and saw a cat being pursued by a coyote. We figure that explains a lot of the missing cat posters in our neighborhood.

...did the Coyote have a stick of dynamite with ACME written on the side, by any chance?
Wait. Whuh? There are coyotes in the DC area?
I thought it was getting a little too predatory a few years ago when there was a bald eagle killing all the squirrels in front of the building where my office was. (Just about every morning, the eagle would be on the lawn, sitting on top of a newly-killed squirrel, while several other squirrels sat nearby, looking and trembling. It was kind of interesting, but a bit more of nature in action than I needed to see at 9 every morning.)

No such luck. Then the cat could have simply dropped an anvil on him.
Wait. Whuh? There are coyotes in the DC area?
Yes. They've been sighted as close in as Falls Church, VA, where a coyote approached a person walking a small dog. The person scared the coyote away.
In a recent radio news story I heard, animal control experts were recommending that pets under 35 pounds not be left outside without direct supervision. Coyotes can run in excess of 40 mph and jump 8 foot fences.
