Okay....
There's a rooster crowing in my neighborhood. Er...huh? I hope the Hmong family that got foreclosed on didn't leave a rooster behind.

Oh, God, and Morgie is indulging his passion for plastic bags. God, what a weird cat.

The girls and I picked a whole bunch of pearl onions and lettuce last night and today I'm going to make meatloaf, which will become sandwiches. Yum.

My Ebony loved to eat or munch on Negatives and plastic, and his appetite for this as in the middle of night when he would wake you up. Little bugger I miss him.

Morgie's flirting and curling his tail around, which means he wants attention and dammit, if you won't submit to head butting, he'll settle for pissing you off.

Oh that was my Ebby -- He wanted attention when he wanted it. It didn't matter what you were doing, you would have to stop what you were doing for the little beastie. He was a stick tyrant -- I remember when I was in Photo School. He ate my home work. Yup-- I developed the negatives at home and they were hanging I wasn't giving him attention so he found a way to *get* them.

Yeah, that's Morgie. "Where's my attention? I'm so CUTE, dammit, woman, what's wrong with you?!"

I suppose it is better than him indulging himself in his passion for your underwear :P

Just so long as Morgie doesn't get his head caught in the bag's handle, leading him to believe he's being chased around the house by a tenacious foe.

Not that I've ever seen that happen with one of my own cats...

Heh heh. That happened to one of my cats. She's a major catnip fiend. I had just gone to the pet store and one of my purchases was catnip. I left the bag where she could get at it, and the next thing I know, she's tearing around the apartment with the bag's handle around her neck.

"The scary bag! It's chasing me!"

Fortunately, that experience didn't scare her off of catnip. I've been growing my own herbs in my kitchen now, and one of the plants I've purchased was catnip. Every once in a while, I give her a couple of sprigs...which she loves.

Of course that happened to the Late Great Merlin. It is not a pretty sight when a 17-pound black-and-white panics.

He ran around a studio apartment, dragging the Evil Bag with him until he saw a chair with low rungs and the light of reason came on in his eyes. He built up speed and dashed under it so the rungs tore off the Evil Bag.

Damn near broke the chair, but Merlin had freed himself. He was so busy preening that he forgot to pee in my shoes to punish me for bringing in the bag in the first place.

All Cats Are Insane

Yeah, all cats are insane in their own way. Mine likes to lick plastic bags. She likes the sound, which she also discovered gets me out of bed fast about feeding time.

She also only sits on square objects. (Well, four-sided objects with 90-degree corners.) A folded t-shirt. A computer. A box. A book on my futon. A sheet of paper. My courier bag - if it's closed properly so it's square. Nothing but square objects.. You won't catch her just, you know, sitting on the floor. I even had to put a piece of cardboard on the shelf I feed her on so she could eat there. (The shelf is a wooden plant stand with a curved front.)

Cats are insane.

Lolz. I always like to hear tales of cats that are weirder than mine. In some ways...

Most of the cats I've had sooner or later developed a healthy fear of plastic bags after getting caught in one, and just the sound of a rustling bag was enough to send them scattering. Not my little Morwen, though. But her thing is to shred them. My parents have to be very careful about leaving out bags, especially those used for garbage, because she just doesn't feel complete if there's a bag somewhere in the house that hasn't had holes shredded in the bottom. Even the occasions when her shredding resulted in garbage being dumped on her head hasn't scared her off this pasttime.

I hope Morgie doesn't eat the bags. I had a cat who would eat toilet paper, and damn, did I hate cleaning the litter pan when he did this. Only animals should have tails.
