My cats don't seem to like the plastic box liners. They scratch right through them. Maybe they like them too much.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm glad Kate is ok.

For those of you with noisy neighbors - try opera. I understand that "Ride of the Valkyries" at top volume will scare off just about anyone.

Nah, go for the Queen of the Night's aria from The Magic Flute. The aria that eats sopranos should be sufficiently intimidating.
Speaking of which, I must find that and listen to it again.

Possibly the "mad scene" from Lucia?

I don't remember the mad scene being that strident, just quietly horrifying. Another must re-listen!

“Not dead yet!”
I'm not sufficiently familiar with Opera, but for me, blasting Holst's "Mars" at top volume is pretty terrifying to those unfamiliar with it.

Nothing is more intimidating than a live performance of the 1812 Overture, though the direction in which the cannons are pointing is an important variable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was that a Calvin and Hobbes comic where a kid (Calvin?) was impressed that there was a classical music song with real cannons?

They're living with me, they get their toilet flushed and their dishes washed as often as mine.
I like this philosophy!
Thanks so much for all the great data. I'm noodling a theory about environment and health, where pets are concerned, and it is really helpful to get a sense of pet people's habits.
Sparky, the table climbing is part instinct (food!Iwillfindit) but it's mostly a boundary issue. The table, the baby, the food...they all belong to you. This is a concept, about which, the Sass is currently confused. Try going back to 'nothing in life is free' by making her wait for her food and other rewards. ESPECIALLY, remind her to ask for permission to get on any furniture.
It's a pain, because you have to be patient in a time when patience is at a premium...but it really is the only way.
