That's a hunting behavior.

Aw, that reminds me of how my old cat used to play with twist-ties. She would jump up on the counter, pry open the cutlery drawer, fish out a twist-tie and drop it on the floor. She would then pounce on it, batting it around the kitchen and have a grand old time chasing it around. Once she decided to "catch" it, she would parade around the house with it in her mouth, making proud yowly noises. It's good to have a cat who can entertain herself.

I hope all the Buffista injuries feel better this morning.

Not injured, but I went to bed last night with a flexeril and some Sudafed...at 730pm. And slept until morning. But the good news is I feel ok right now, so the meds and sleep may have done the trick. Whew.

Thanks for the congrats. Of course, since I seem to be incapable of not having something to stress about, I'm now panicking (sp?) about how much stuff I have coming out of storage (and I have to get it all out as it's with the moving company that moved me in June). I know I have to cull, but I'm seriously worried about even having the room to do that once it's all in and can get into to things to figure out what to cull.

I really wish I could have done more of that after the fire, but the atmosphere was so toxic (on a number of levels) that I just packed most of the salvable stuff up I wasn't bringing with me at the time and had it stored, and it's a lot. I'm pretty much going to have to make sure the furniture comes in first before the boxes, because I'm probably going to have to have that put where it's going to stay (if it stays).

I'm hoping I'm overreacting.

Months later, I am still feeling the effects of my bites.

Oh, bonny, how awful. Poor you and that poor doggy.

Frankenbuddha, that sounds like a daunting task. Is there a friend who could come help you make decisions?

Hil, I hope your finger is feeling better today.

Quick! What's the cutest/funniest thing you've seen on the internet lately (not on Good Things, already trawling that). My sis is super anxious/stressed, and I'm trying to distract her.

I don't know...I saw a comic of a Louis CK bit that was pretty good.

Awesome, thanks! Love the kitten who can't jump.

The problem is going to be getting into the stuff. If I get the furniture in first and am able to get the stuff I know I am keeping into shelves and such, then I will be able to do the culling without a problem. It's that first part that's got me concerned. I probably am overreacting, but I'm down at least a third of the space I had in the last place.

But it's mine. Mine. Mine! MINE!!! cue maniacal laughter here

Ahem. Well, and the bank's, technically.

And it's shiny (a lot of it got a complete overhaul after a sprinkler incident).

Here you go, smonster: [link] this cracked me up this morning.

sarameg should appreciate that.
