I had that model cat, grey with the white vest. She was not to be fooled with. She'd cross 3 lanes of traffic to kick a dog's ass. One time a buddy came over and let his Rhodesian ridgeback out of his truck. I looked around.."Fuck...where's my cat" "Don't worry" says Bill, "my dog doesn't chase cats" "I'm not worried about my cat" BOOM, she darts out and jumps onto his back and starts flaying. That dog yelped and shrieked until I managed to pull her off by her scruff and Bill got him back into the truck. They breed those dogs to hunt lions.
Cast those cats in a production of Wicked ("Defying Gravity"). Think of the mashup possibilities with a production of Cats! On second thought, let's not...LOVE THESE KITTIES! Thanks for posting this one, Martini!
Adolescent kitties have amazing powers. Many years ago, one of mine (named Shere Khan after the tiger in the Jungle Book) brought a live cicada into the house as a play toy (sigh) My room mate and I were in the living room where he dropped this angrily buzzing thing on the floor. The cicada flew up to a corner of the room then flew along the wall above the 8 foot sofa below.
Shere Khan took off at warp speed to the sofa, leapt up to where the cicada was 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙙-𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.
No one would have believed it if we hadn't both seen it.
A couple of odds and ends I couldn't wait til later to share:
Saw a video on Facebook that was a complete destruction of the "trans women aren't women" argument. First was the idea that if you have to add a qualifier, then you aren't the thing. But if you have to call yourself a "conservative Christian," then obviously you're no Christian because you had to add a qualifier. Then, "well you should open up a book because they say the basic requirements to be a woman." Yeah, but if you open up a Bible, there's a bunch of qualifications to call yourself a Christian, and conservative Christians just ignore a whole lot of that. It was hilarious and perfect.
He got booed by almost everyone inside Madison Square Garden. He probably got booed by everyone in Midtown. And then the man with the best stamina, the healthiest president in history...FELL ASLEEP in the middle of a sports event. That's kind of impressive! Almost as impressive as him not being evacuated in a giant tantrum because some fake-ass "emergency" happened. The idiocy will continue.
I slept relatively well. It was kind of surprising. And I only woke up once to answer nature's all. I dreamt I had found a bunch of new clothing pieces at a local thrift store, and when I woke up I felt the strong desire to hop the bus, go hit up my favorite thrift store, and maybe grab lunch. And then I checked my bank account. I will...be stuck at home instead.
Why can't there be a place where people can sit down and just drink as much milk as they please for a flat price? Like, I would love a place where I could sit at a small table, mindlessly play on my phone, and just drink milk for an afternoon.
The cuisine of middle-of-nowhere Mississippi still lives in my heart: I suddenly have a craving for my grandmother's tuna casserole topped with crushed ranch Doritos.
With a big glass of unsweet tea with Sweet N Low and a tiny squirt of lemon juice from the plastic lemon.

I kind of like that one of the big stories in local news is that El Chapo, the peacock, is on the run. Please report him if he shows up in your yard. That's about all the controversy and conflict I want to see in the world today.
When I was a kid, one of our neighbors had peacocks. Noisy bastards. Every time one decided to come into our yards, my father made sure there was one peacock less. He had strong opinions on peacocks.
But I heard that Talarico dated attractive women in his past, which in Texas, at least according to Republicans, makes him gay or a sexual predator or something. I dunno, Republican logic leaves me confused.

Holy Spidercat, Batman!
There’s zooming, and then there’s DEMONIC POSSESSION.
Amazing antics! I've had cats who were great climbers but that guy hanging upside down on the door jamb is unique in my experience.
Excellent news about the Right whales.

Don't be so judgemental about
How crazy a cat I am
I only know I like to jump
And hump the pantry jamb.
Are you pushing metaphors? Cause this feels like a metaphor. LOL
Another thing occurs to me, would I sand the door frames regularly like most people dust, or just occasionally when they really, really need it?
It looks like a piece has been spliced in at the bottom.
I hope the whale population recovers, but considering where their calving takes place, the future is uncertain.
Take it away, Mr. Ritchie:

Door-obics.
That reminds me, Molly's nails need trimming. Also, hurray for the whales.

That upside down cat got some serious talons. Never seen hang time like that ever!

It only worked because he never looked down, I'll bet.
And they're not even ginger weirdos!
Zoomies!

The options you say are on your website to change to one Wonkette a day do not exist on my screen under “subscriptions.”
"so diabolical you couldn't even prove it"--the R's can't prove anything on a good day, so let's blame the devil.
Amazingly, while Donald Trump raping children is also diabolical, we can prove it.
Why is God unable to help out His anointed servant? Is He on vacation?

So are these turd senators going to confirm Todd?
Probably. Eventually. They'll probably make a deal like they did with Susan Collins for Brett Kavanaugh.
NO chance any of the people leaving the senate might grow spines? HAHAHAHAHA.
I knew that rump would fall asleep at the game. They were in an enclosed area. My condolences to the people who had to sit there.
Eh. It was James Dolan and some of the maladminstration trash humans. I feel no sympathy for them.

They used to have peacocks feral in Berkeley. They hated the screams. I don't know what happened to them, but they are gone.
When I was a kid, one of our neighbors had peacocks. Noisy bastards. Every time one decided to come into our yards, my father made sure there was one peacock less. He had strong opinions on peacocks.
I still miss the Arcata Eye.
Looks like the cat has the extreme zoomies.
But I heard that Talarico dated attractive women in his past, which in Texas, at least according to Republicans, makes him gay or a sexual predator or something. I dunno, Republican logic leaves me confused.
Digging on chicks is totally gay, brah.
The hypermasculine dudes at the gym said so.
The entire Texas GOP is turning into Nick Fuentes.
His current squeeze is quite lovely, too.
Republican and logic are dichotomies.
"It's like these people enjoy ruining things." You just hit the nail on the head in the biggest way ever. That is their whole raison d'etre.
We have a BINGO!!!!
For those wanting to leave their mark on the world, it's far easier to break things than build them.
