yes, he looks like a poor, starving, miserable, mistreated bugger, doesn't he ?

[RickyMaveety]

Yep ... it's clear that the poor thing is beaten and starved.

Why hasn't the first picture (or any of them, really) been LOLcatted yet? It's been over 7 hours.

I was going to post:

Your amortized costs are going to absolutely kill your ability to bring your profit margins up to industry standards, but then, I'm reading with my ass.

But there wasn't enough room.

They all are. Just ask them.

Rule 1. Anything not nailed down is a cat toy

Rule 2. If it can be pried up, it's not nailed down. See Rule 1.

Rule 3. Kittens must always be underfoot or on the wrong side of the door.

Rule 4. Your human's personal space is your personal space.

Rule 5. Things caught while hunting should be presented to your humans as evidence of your prowess. Extra points if this is done while they are reading in bed.

Rule 6. The preferred time to take a big smelly crap and flick litter all over the floor is immediately after your human has cleaned and changed the cat box.

Rule 7. Computer keyboards are the best napping spots, especially if your human is using them at the time.

Rule 8. The preferred time for noisy activity is when your humans are in bed asleep.

Rule 9. Being given a bath by your human is grounds for justifiable homicide.

Puppies like briefcases, laptops, and keyboards also. I think the official title of this photograph is "Bad Dog, No No".

lord help us all...

i started putting in bold the most exasperating of these rules but halfway through i realized i was going to end up with almost the whole thing in bold.

rule 3 : my cat likes to hide off to one side of the room when she knows i'll be walking past. then, she leaps out and goes tearing across the room in front of me, just under my feet, as i try desperately not to 1. step on her 2. fall down. obviously, preferred times for this game are : when it's dark (extra surprise points !), when i am carrying a cup of hot tea i have just made (extra danger points !), when i am carrying anything voluminous enough to prevent me from seeing her (extra death-defying exploit points !).

i told me father about this and he said "well that'll teach you to leave Camus lying around."
me : "... ???"
my father : "Camus said once 'every morning i get up and ask myself "is today the day i kill myself ?"' your cat clearly asks herself the same question, and she does test runs to be ready."

moral of the story : don't let your cats read Camus, if you value your life (and sanity).

Now, I loved my Dad dearly, but, gees, I wish he quoted Camus to me. Most I remember is, "If you keep picking that your head will cave in".

[zelda_pinwheel]

I think some of this maybe got lost in translation. I assume that the question my cats ask themselves is, "Is today the day I kill the human," and that the subsequent test runs -- targeted as they are at me -- are the proof of that.

I'm pretty sure they are not asking themselves "Is today the day I kill myself." My cats are the least suicidal creatures on the face of the earth.
