Papa’s got a brand new cat fight

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Via Booksquare, an article on the Hemingway cats.

These are the mitten-pawed descendents of the writer’s own cat, who are allowed to wander freely. Which means they sometimes leave the grounds of the Hemingway house, now a museum, in Key West. Which has upset Debbie Schultz, a neighbor and “former official” of the “local animal shelter.” She’s particularly bothered by a tom cat named Ivan:

“I saw Ivan many times loose,” she says. “Ivan is a very unneutered, very macho male cat, and in each case, he had one of the street cats pinned down,” she says. “We have an ordinance that says a nuisance cat can be removed.”

Well, at least he’s not very very unneutered!

On the first day of Christmas . . .

An office discount supplier sent to me . . .

Twelve pencil sharpeners sharpening????

pencil sharpeners

I ordered one. Paid for one. Some warehouse picker sent a case instead. So now I have these eleven extra electric pencil sharpeners.

I emailed the company and they don’t want them back:

Thank you for letting us know. However, since it was our error and you were not billed anything extra, you may keep the additional pencil sharpeners you received.

Anybody need a pencil sharpener????

Meanwhile my cat inspected the situation and decided she was singularly unimpressed:

Cold nose :-)

Friday, December 1st, 2006

This is my parents’ cat, Bibs.

cold nose

When he comes in from outdoors this time of year, apparently his nose feels cold, so if the space heater in their sun room is on he likes to sit with his face almost touching it.

One of my cats loves to watch moving water. I’m really really glad he hasn’t figure out how to do this!

Performed by cats :-)

Silly, of course. But it made my daughter laugh. Me, too:

Hamlet: What’s the news?

Rosencrantz: None, my lord, but that the world’s grown honest.

Hamlet: Then is doomsday near . . .

Ha. The truth is, he’s always this laid back. Well. Except when he’s up to his devilment. Have I mentioned the 1-pound bag of lentils I found torn open and scattered all over my living room?
