Janis: Look at this precious kitten trying to make a ceramic cat play with it!
Arlo: HAH! That's pretty funny!
Arlo: They tell us it isn't competition - it's "global opportunity"!
I think my cats are camera shy. Every time I see them doing something cute I don’t have a camera in hand and by the time I get the camera they stop. I wonder if people who capture these videos wear a GoPro 24/7.
Our cat used to sleep on her back with her front paws crossed over her eyes and her rear paws crossed over her tummy, like she was saying “Make the world go away.” You will need to take my word for it because every time I got the camera, she would uncross everything and look at me like, “What?”
One Christmas in the late 1990’s I gave my daughters and secretary at work each a nice blue and white ceramic cat (they must have been cheap!). We’ve got great photos of one of our daughters’ kittens puffing up and doing a stiff-legged dance at one of the figurines, as it sat under the tree. Too bad it was in the days before near-universal digital video cameras, Facebook, and the like.
I remember visiting a friend once and I bent down to pet their cat, only to discover it was the most realistic looking ceramic cat statue I ever saw. (fortunately that was long before the time of cell phones or cell phone cameras).
A friend once told me about a case he heard about where a Maine Coon cat was sitting on a mantlepiece when burglers broke into the house. The cat was sitting so still that they thought it was a statue (especially since it was the largest cat they’d ever seen) so they ignored it and the cat continued to sit on the mantle until one of the burglers hit the homeowners son while trying to find out where the money and jewels were. The cat attacked and drove the burglers out of the house and right into the arms of the police. The burglers tried to sue the homeowner for havind a wild animal on their property, the case was laughed out of court.

Right. And service, rent seeking, and arbitrage are enough to sustain a national economy. </sarcasm>

I’m a lot like Arlo. I’m frugal and I talk, in my case, to my dog like she was a person.
