6 Adorable Cat Behaviors With Shockingly Evil Explanations
I knew most of these.
I knew all of them. Though I question the sanity of anyone who thinks #s 5 and 3 are adorable (but I guess "4 Adorable Cat Behaviors With Shockingly Evil Explanations, Plus Two Obviously Evil Behaviors, One Of Which Is Also Disgusting And The Other Seriously Creepifying" wouldn't have been such a catchy title).
They also left the absolutely most adorable behavior completely off the list -- that soft, wistful little peeping sound an indoor cat makes while gazing longingly out the window at birds on a wire, which sounds achingly cute but actually means, "Please,
please
let me kill them." Even though I knew exactly what it meant, it was just so cartoonishly plaintive it still made my heart go all gooey every time my cats did it.
And now I don't know what to think of my cat Toby, who stayed neurotically glued to me day and night, crawling under the covers with me and sleeping in my laundry pile when I was out and even sticking his nose in my mouth whenever I yawned so he could sniff my breath. He not only didn't seem to be repulsed by my human stink, he seemed to need it more than life itself. Really, it was more than a little unnerving to be craved that deeply by, well, anything; but oh, how I miss him.
Cats don't lick themselves to get the human stink off. Mine don't go clean themselves after I pet them. If they hated their humans' smell, they wouldn't lie in our shoes. I think the guy in question is ruffling their fur up, and they're grooming to get it to lie straight again. Which is basically my reaction, with or without claws, when someone messes with my hair, too.
...sorry about Toby, JZ.
I had to go into Santa Monica to pay my epically late rent, and while running other errands learnt two new things are illegal in that city--single use plastic shopping bags and leafblowers. Truly, it is the promised land, and we should all move there.
Without single-use plastic bags, what do people use to pick up their dog's poop and clean their catboxes?
If they also outlaw noise pollution in the form of car stereos cranked to 42, I might be tempted to move there myself.
Quick question: Shir hasn't been posting lately, and I need to shoot her a question.
Anyone have her email addy handy? (can be sent to my profile addy.)
Pooper scoopers and other things I don't understand that you don't throw away right away? It was awkward for me because I was navigating with an arm in a sling and didn't know about the new rule, but good rule! I like to always travel with baggus.
I am searching through my image library for references for "X pressed a kiss to Y’s shoulder" and I'm almost appalled at how much I have and how long it took me to look.

Hey! [link]
I went and gave my mother and her college friends a tour of where I work, then hung out at my parents' a bit, then went out to dinner with my father. It was fun!
I still don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I wish What's Your Number was out already.
I accidentally bought mint chocolate chip klondike bars at the store this afternoon.
MOM. oops, but NOM

All I know is that is some dangerous information.
My personal whine is that my massage therapist will be out of town next weekend. I e-mailed her for a referral cause she is my one true masseuse.
