Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Cats are supposed to hate water! Why do I have 2 that love sloshing it??

I replaced the (new! this month) waterdish with a large cheapass ziploc bowl. We'll see if that works.

“Not dead yet!”

Late this afternoon UPS delivered a...

Greenberg Smoked Turkey from Tyler, Texas. (Courtesy of my in-laws who are currently on a 3 1/2 week trip to Australia.)

Om nom nom NOM.

Well, I guess I'm not making ginger teriyaki lamb loin for Christmas dinner.

However, as Lewis pointed out, "Now you have more time to concentrate on dessert."

What should I make for dessert?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have seen more than one cat drink from a running faucet. And knew one who would specifically ask for it to be turned on whenever I went into the bathroom at its house.

hip deep in pie

Oz likes to deposit twist ties (his favourite toy) into his water dish then manages to slosh most of the water out of the dish while retrieving it.

Jeeves does this with the kitchen faucet. He'll sit on the edge of the sink and headbutt the faucet until I turn it on for him.

I dread the day he figures out how to turn it on. He could, if he nudged the lever the right way. One of these days, I'll come home to a flood.

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

Smoked Turkey

We had a Harry and David smoked turkey for Thanksgiving and it was maybe the most delicious bird I have ever nommed. Epically tasty.

I think most pet-owners (of non-idiotic pets) feel this way about something.

I took care of a friend's cats: both adored for you to turn on the faucet to drink from. One liked to drink the water after it poured over his head and ran down his face. He'd center the stream to hit the top of his head. He was also the one who showered with friend daily (he had his own towel.)

I thought they were anomalies.

Come to think of it, the non-showerer was also named Loki. I'd forgotten that.

I still am having massive hateon for work. Bad.

My sister's cat pretty much only drinks from the running tap.
