wouldn't that normally be just lots of opportunities to flirt?
msbelle is zingy this morning!
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.
eta: Here is an edited version, with just the weightless cats: [link]
eta²: Here NASA subjects a kitty to weightlessness: [link]
Kinda' looks like animal abuse to me....

Oh, Tommy, those poor kitties! They looked like worms wiggling in the air trying to orient themselves.

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.

Because books.
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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
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....

not your mom's socks.
I just helped HKF clean her room. I swear she is auditioning for hoarders. Also, the school/camp/industrial complex that thinks it is a positive thing to send home every braided pile of pipecleaners, painted plastic bottles, buttons sewn on rags, and tissue paper flowers that they churn out every dang day? Do!not!want!
Otoh, she is reveling in how spacious her room is now. It's not spacious. She was just down to a narrow walkway between her door and her bed.
Next round: the craft table/breakfast room.
I deserve a ribbon or something.

Parts of Australia are seeing the worst flooding in years. In Brisbane, a video crew paddles through a McDonalds outlet in a canoe. The song is “Fish Heads” by Barnes and Barnes.
