My cat has recently decided that she is only sleeping inside of a reusable canvas Dominick's shopping bag. If she's out of the bag, eating or playing or whatever, and you pick up the bag, she FREAKS OUT and tries to jump up and grab the bag with her paws and pull it down and then go inside of it and sit until you start walking away, and then attack the legs of the person walking away. If she is inside of the bag and you pick it up and carry it around, she starts purring very loudly.
My kitty is like this. She is currently glaring daggers at a houseguest who is occupying her futon for a few days. I hope she doesn't mangle him in his sleep.
@Gavagirl: HA! My friend's cat weeeed on the futon (hers) that I was to sleep on AFTER it was made up - size of a half dollar - all the way through all the linens. Bitch. Or rather: Queen!
@Gavagirl: Also, there's a corner of the bed that is ALWAYS HER CORNER, but only when there are people in the bed. Before this bag business, she started out curled up in a little ball and by morning her body was fully extended and in the middle of the bed and BF and I would be curled into cat-avoiding fetal positions.
@morninggloria: And this is why I love cats. They are so weird.
My old kitty would have favourite (bizarre) sleeping spots that were his and his alone, including a laundry basket, the chair in my home office, and an Old Dutch chip box (when he was wee little kitten). He also crawls inside bags a lot, too.
Too much. Its too much cuteness. I wanna kiss the feets. I have 9 cats and you'd think I'd get tired of looking at them, but I just don't. And every time I see another baby kitten I'm pretty sure I need another one.
@SidheDragon: I have 9 too - greetings to my fellow crazy cat person! The newest came to us after we lost our 19 year old this summer. I love kitten time, and this one was only 4 weeks so I got to bottle feed for a little while. Too cute. I love her to bits even though I broke 2 toes avoiding her yesterday morning when she was under my feet and I still think she's cute through all the pain.
@Gretchen is a new kitten mom!: Oh and the hubbs is more crazy cat person than I am. He's the reason we have 9 instead of 5 - pregnant female came to us starving. Whaddya gonna do? Those little buggers were born and we were wrapped. We love them to pieces. Kudos to you for your saves!
This is a sad day for me. My boss of six years, who I absolutely adore and is one of my closest friends, is leaving. At least we have a big shindig planned for him tonight.
PETA's hypocrisy in consistently inserting themselves into the media discussions of the Vick case is mind-boggling. They've supported Breed Specific Legislation (i.e. a ban on - and euthanasia policy for - all pit bulls) for years: [www.badrap.org]
And directly after the Vick bust, they publicly advocated having all of the surviving dogs put down without any health screenings, temperament testing, nothing. Thankfully, organizations like BAD RAP and Best Friends Animal Society stepped in and the majority of the dogs have been adopted and are living out their lives as loving, happy members of families - the way they were meant to be. You can see how some of them are doing here: [vickdogsblog.blogspot.com]
@andBegorrah: Are you me? I spend an embarrassing amount at the Best Friends website. I have dreams of moving to their ranch in Utah and just quitting society to take care of abused animals.
What they do is simply amazing. Two of the dogs are in foster homes, which is the first step toward getting adopted.
@morninggloria: I'm not saying that I sometimes spend an hour or four reading BAD RAP's blog ([badrap-blog.blogspot.com]) and crying, but yes that's what I'm saying.
(And! Shamelessness! They're holding a photo contest for their 2010 calendar and my pup is one of the entrants. Vote! Vote all over the place! You can vote as often as you like - just like Chicago!)
Shame on BET for continuing the charade that is Michael Vick and his new image. I honestly could care less about his childhood, nor his idea of redemption. Sadly, BET and Viacom would prefer to benefit from the torture of animals.
@ArtfulSlinger: The Humane Society has voiced their approval, so hopefully it will focus more on how and why he came to abuse animals and his efforts to understand the nature of his crime so as to de-glamorize it for young fans, rather than on him as a martyr. (Though I'm not getting my hopes up.)
At least whatever profits he makes from the show go in part toward the dogs' care.

Secret message me a way to vote for your doggie. I will vote as many times as Richard M. Daley will vote in the Democratic primary next year. Dozens.

Jesus Christ. 12 years for two rapes? Hope there's no possibility of parole, and even then...
