One time, when my brother was between 2 and 4, we were visiting a zoo somewhere (possibly Arizona Sonora Desert.) Anyway, the jags
really
liked him. As in, tracked and stalked him through the glass. He was running around like kids that age do, and those cats were in full prey drive mode.
Same happened to D a few years ago at the ABQ zoo.
Why am I up? Woke up half hour ago and could've slept another hour. May yet.
Darn Leo woke me up for food at 4am, and again at 6am mewing desperately for me to... come open his favorite window. Oh for heavens' sake. Now he is contentedly dozing in the morning breeze and I am fatally awake. I glare at Percy and tell him, "this is why I got you! To entertain him so he won't wake me up at 4am!" And Percy makes his eyes all big and says, "I thought you brought me here to feed me! Speaking of which, the food bowl is empty." Alas, my nefarious plan backfired: now I have two cats waking me up with pitiful mewing at 4am.
But I'm up for the beginning of the Criminal Minds marathon! Today: procedurals and furniture moving.
I think my favorite part of that whole song, though, is:
I love
Now the father finds her beguiling
watch out CeCe!
And the kids are actually smiling
such joie de vivre!

What song is that again? Spare Cat's real name is CeCe.
What song is that again? Spare Cat's real name is CeCe.
It's the theme song to The Nanny.
Timelies all!
I suppose the theme to "The Nanny" is no worse than some of the musical dreck in my head.
Ah, brain sludge...
Did they do this just to mess with Jilli?
Spider Named for David Bowie
German arachnologist Peter Jaeger has discovered 200 species of spiders in the past decade. Now he has named one of his finds after singer David Bowie. The new species, a large yellow spider in Malaysia, is called Heteropoda davidbowie. Jaeger said he named the spider to draw attention to the discovery, and to the endangered status of many spiders.
It is working against time,” he said. “We are also quickly losing genetic resources that have evolved over more than 300 million years.”
Bowie had a 1972 album entitled The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. His 1987 tour was named the Glass Spider Tour.
Note to Jilli: The link does not have a picture of David Bowie the singer. Just a picture of a spider.
I am celebrating my sixth anniversary with my cat this weekend, I realize. I am celebrating by letting him continue to live off me.
What's the appropriate gift for a sixth cattiversary? A hairball? Dead mouse?
