Our cat sniffs but won't taste people food, which is odd because she licks curtains, tables, and chairs. But I even tried giving her tuna and she did not seem to care.

Oh God, Aims, I'm so sorry. I hope this will be resolved quickly without too much hassle.

Hil, I'd advise to email/call the school again, but I'm a stranger to the magnificent world of American job market. You're all weirdos to me.

Also, job~ma for Fern.

See, this is like asking his opinion on oven cleaner. As a responsible parent, I have a duty to protect him from such things until his sense of self-preservation exceeds that of a rat infected with toxoplasmosis.

Did I mention my love to bt and his family yet? No?

I'd forgotten about the Colin Firth obsession in Bridget Jones

Who can forget the Colin Firth obsession? I never read Bridget Jones, but once you've seen the BBC production of P&P, you could never go back.

ION: "no. fuck." is the appropriate response when a somewhat new, good friend is revealing herself as one of the masses who believe that a commando takeover of a civil ship outside of Israel's territory is in fact, a lynch in IDF soldiers. As one of my favorite blogs said it "I'd really love to know what they're adding to the water to make people believe that". I never get political emails/FWeds, but my email box in the past 48 hours got flooded with emails of the left and right. But damn. I really like that friend.

This used to be Kittenish. DxH was boggled when she didn't want the water from a can of tuna. She'd sniff things but didn't want to eat them.

Now? She eats tuna (thankfully a cat version with cat nutrients) nearly exclusively. And stole a steak off of a date's plate when I cooked for us one night. She's all about the quality protein.

She'll tell anyone who will listen that she also LOVES cheese but she's lactose intolerant and I clean up enough cat puke, so no. But in San Diego, before I realized this, I think she loved taquito nights as much as I did. Mmm, shreddy cheese.

Cat + corn-on-the-cob = I have NO idea.

Dude. That's a cat eating corn on the cob. Like a badass cat.

Butter.

She wasn't just licking the butter off, though; she was extricating kernels and eating them whole.

Weird cat.

I still run into people who believe the U.S. FOUND weapons of mass destruction in Iraq (not including the ones they brought with them) after the invasion. I suspect Israel and the U.S. have a lot in common in terms of poisonous atmospheres of public opinion.

OK, yeah, that's a weird cat.

I know a cat who likes to eat watermelon. WTF? I used to shake my head at him and say, "aren't you supposed to be a carnivore?"

My little gray cat Niko loved to eat watermelon! I'd give her a chunk and she'd sit on her haunches like a squirrel and hold the chunk in one paw and eat it sitting there. She was crazy for watermelon. I don't believe cats can't taste sweet things.
