Breaking Rocks

Tuesday George:

Cats have a quality I find admirable: blamelessness. When a cat makes a mistake, he doesn't accept responsibility or show embarrassment. If he does something really stupid, like jumping onto a table and landing in four separate coffee cups, somehow he passes the whole thing off as routine. Dogs aren't like that. If a dog knocks over a lamp, you can tell who did it by looking at the dog; he acts guilty and ashamed. Not the cat. When a cat breaks something, he simply moves along to the next activity.

  1. Wait... did I travel through a wormhole while sleeping?? Did the sun rise in the West??? Does this say it's a post by ZRM??

    Post... ZRM...

    Does not compute...

    I also loved the part about cats always looking like they're trying on new contact lenses. :)

  3. Lighten up, Francis.

    And, I drain the swamp a few times a year... it's called my basement.

    You haven't met some of the dogs I'll be visiting this Thanksgiving. They happily move right along to the next activity: breaking more stuff, eating people food off the table/counter (they're big dogs...and that food is sitting there right at chin height!), and such as.

    You needed a new lamp anyway.

  7. The Great Big Irish Wolfhound says: You didn't want that turkey anyways.

    It would just make you fat, whereas the effort of cleaning up my turkey dinner (for the entire family) vomit (In Out Turkey!) helps keep you slim.

  8. Thunder- your comments remind me of when one of my dogs brought home a neighbor's pie. They had put it out to cool... my dog showed up at our backdoor with a steaming pie. :)

  9. Cats also have the uncanny ability to leap onto a man's crotch regardless of how he is laying on the bed.

  10. Also they poop. Who thought that was a good feature?

    They are just looking for a good scratching post.
