Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is seriously everywhere this week.

And same.
Here's a bummer: I've never given my cat a pill, but I have some pill pockets in the house, so I thought I would give them to him as a treat just by themselves, to warm him up for if he ever does need a pill, but he totally rejected them!
On the other hand, they have been in the cupboard a long time, so maybe they are just stale and all is not lost.

Stale pill pockets do not sound terribly appealing, it's true. That does seem like a good idea to get him used to them as a treat, though!
I know I've run across it somewhere unexpectedly as well, possibly a couple of places because of course I immediately scrubbed the whole thing from my memory as much as I could (that sounds better than just being forgetful and absent minded, doesn't it?). Stupid zeitgeist or whatever.

Well, you might be able to conceal a pill in something the cat likes. Maybe. A friend once had to give her cat pills and she'd use either the pill pocket or a treat but sometimes the cat would eat the treat from around the pill and leave the (soggy) pill to be cleaned up. Once - my friend swore this really happened - she gave the cat her pill and after consuming the treat, the cat jumped up on my friend's shoulder and spat the (soggy) pill into her shirt pocket.

Yes, that's what my last cat did. Oh well!

Cats are smart. And sneaky. And there's this adoptable cat.

Oh, Pinky. Clearly a very loving cat.

There's been a lot about William Shatner going into space. A photo of him with a couple of other people who went up with him was (I assume) altered so that his jacket was the gold of his shirt on the show and the others' jackets were red. There's also this.
