The cat pre-paring to roll a joint re-minded me that I had this old GIF.

Contrary to general opinion, the iPad is NOT completely useless--it's an awse cat toy!

I'm sure this is an ancient hat but I've just now stumbled acrossed it:

Not a kitty, but where else to put it?

In the lemur thread. Really, now.

Aw, dammit, I miss having cats.  I had to give 'em up for Husband™.  Most days I know I made the right choice.  Most days.

I just buried my cat of 16 years and she loved that shit. It's got something in it, that's for sure. She could hear that bag crinkle from two counties away and be there in 4 seconds flat.

Of course, it costs more than fresh crab meat, by the pound. Never did figure out how they charge that much for it.

Goob,
Losing a friend is always hard.  We have pics of my old dude still up after 5 years, he was 16 went he went.  The youngster is now 15.  I am watching him closely, but so far he seems in for the long haul.  He recently took to sleeping between "she who must be obeyed" and yours truly.  I think he is saving on body heat, and upping his longevity at this point.

Still, take some time, and pour one out for your sweet girl.

I heard this a while back and liked it:

The old cat sleeps
in the newly arrived sun. One more spring
has come his way
dropping a solar bath
on failing kidneys, old cat bones.
I check for the rise and fall of breath.

Once he stalked hares
across the yard, tracked down
chicken hearts with split-lentil eyes.
Fearless, disinterested, a poseur, a demideity.
He and the dog are strangers still
after years of eating side by side.

I remember times of wailing
into my couch, alone
and utterly baffled by life,
when suddenly a cat
would be sitting on my head.

Last week I pulled him snarling
from under a chair in Dr. Bacon's office,
held him while she examined his dull coat,
felt his ribs. Pressed where it hurt.
Eight pounds of fur and bone and mad as hell
but "He's certainly less anxious in your lap,"
she murmured, astonishing me.
I had no idea. Old cat, old friend,
have I reached some place inside,
added to your life
as you have to mine?

Thanks for all the kind words. She is survived by her litter-mate, the disdainful punk-rocker to my Sol's hippy-chick. Sol's biggest thrill was always barging into the "reading room" once you got comfortable (or wailing right outside the door). Once inside she would do laps around the bowl until you had finished dropping the Cosby Kids off at the pool. As soon as she heard the paper roll rattle she would dash for the door and yowl to be let out. That stupid cat was orgasmic for odors, the connoisseur of crap, the sultan of stink, and I still wait for her to bang at the door whenever I squat.

My first belly laugh of the day.  She is touching souls, even yet!

I'm no crystal-rubbing hippie, but I swear to god the cat yells at me, and between his vocalizing and what I can interpolate, I can pretty much tell what he wants/what he's thinking/what his mood is. Am I the only one here like that? Am I over-anthropomorphizing?
