Baseball is good for Olbermann's um, cockles, so even though I still don't grok it, that's good enough right now.(I need a fan to explain stuff someday, preferably not with his depth of knowledge, but basketball is not as subtle.Many times announcers become excited about things that I don't even notice as things.) I do think I understand cats, but maybe that's what they want you think.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Welcome, Maggie! Jings, that's an impressively low ID number thingummy!
Man, this thread was a GREAT idea!

Ann, that's a ferret.
I thought dogs were supposed to be the uncritical lovers.
It depends on the cat and the human. It helps to keep in mind what cats want. Food, clean litter box, cozy place to nap, lack of sudden loud noises, attention when and as they (and not you) want it, play opportunities, and you've gone a long way. The tricky part is figuring out the priority each cat places on each of those things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Her solution to the dizziness? She starts chasing it the other direction!
Speaking as a dancer, this actually works!

wrt cats - I like the fact that they're much less needy than dogs. I mean, I'm not anti-dog or anything, really, but the comparatively low-maintenance nature of cats suits me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Re low-maintenance, there's a recent study checking out your pets' carbon pawprint. Apparently even a medium-sized dog is more damaging than an SUV. Cats are far more environmentally friendly. (Except in Australia, where they chew up all the native wildlife.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(Except in Australia, where they chew up all the native wildlife.)
Huh. I would think that would be less true in Australian, what with all the freakish wildlife you have there.

- trying hard to remain de-lurked, but you are witty and fast talking bunch--one of you has usually said what I'm thinking by the time I can chime in.*
I love dogs, but I love that you have to earn it with some cats.
Baseball--I like going to the actual games, but I don't get anywhere near as involved with it as I do hockey.
Congratulations to Nicole! This Halloween will be my 15th wedding anniversary, so I happen to think it is the coolest day ever to get married. We met at a Halloween party, so it only seemed right to have a Halloween wedding--we even got our grandparents in costume, which I did not think would happen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is really cool, and means we have three Halloween wedding anniversaries, or will next year.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have cats, because I can never live up to a dog's expectations. I can never be as good as they think I am. It's a constant feeling of fail. Cats don't expect so much. We're only human, after all.
