msbelle is super sassy.
Everything's dripping here. Dripping and then refreezing. Is winter over yet?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A video of US Air Force experiments from the 1960s: [link]
At a little after the 3:00 mark, they expose cats and pigeons to weightlessness.
The kitties and pigeons don't like it.

Kinda' looks like animal abuse to me....

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think one of my cats would adapt to weightlessness pretty quickly.
The others? Would not be amused.
SPACE CAT!

At some point today I'll need to eat something, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Aw, S. is taking Sara to the elementary school to sled on the big hill. Many points to him for that. I am so not a snow sports person.

we found the cat's humans. I hope my face looked the way I felt, because telling me she is an outdoor cat with no collar, NOT ON. ANyway, she is out of our house, mac is not distraught and I can get on with my day.

Here's a doggie exposed to a brief period of zero-g in a small plane: [link]
The doggie seems less traumatized - perhaps because it wasn't pushed towards the side of the plane by a human....
