They are probably right , our Pedigreed Siamese girl is a complete tart.

PS Felicity is beautiful, there's something about a tabby that gets me everytime.

I had absolutely NO plan on bringing a cat home with me when I set out that morning... I was walking past some street vendors in the back alleys of a small village in northern Thailand, and saw this little kitten smiling at me... 50 cents later she was in a cardboard box on the seat of my jeep. Eight years ago. My wife came home and I gave the original "Gosh! Look what followed me home! Can we keep it?"

Oh, he's just gorgeous!

8 years later, Mr M in his jungle. Still cute, but not a baby anymore.

Sorry, but no longer cute. Now he's handsome! Very handsome.

Say, have you noticed, nobody has any ugly pets! Here in Japan the kids love big beetles as pets. Really UGLY scary looking big beetles that they sell in all the department stores and home centers. Creeps me right out! I know that they are completely harmless, but they should be killed simply because they are sooooooo ugly! But how do you step on something that big?

The only big bug that I can deal with is lobster... after it's been cooked.

We call those 'Slipper Lobster,' but the generic term that SCUBA divers use for all lobster is 'bugs.' I don't know why, but for some reason I don't mind these underwater bugs. Maybe it's because of the taste... I don't know... But I still half think I'm eating Cambrian or Ordovician Trilobites

I've eaten a LOT of small bugs in SE Asia over the years. They are a common site from street vendors in night markets. Pull of the wings and the legs and then squeeze the good stuff out the body. The school kids eat a LOT of grubs as after-school treats. They really are quite sweet. We had a big jolly housekeeper/cook who used to eat them all day long while she worked. She couldn't understand why we didn't want to...

But I guess it's the same as before I moved to Asia... The idea of eating raw fish, eating shrimp that still had their heads on, or eating things that were still moving, all were enough to send me running behind a tree!

But that was then. This is now.

If I can keep it on my plate... it get's eaten!

My kitten was delighting in bothering my dog Saturday. I thought I edited the video on my phone to remove the sound and cut off the beginning and end of the video, but that didn't happen. This was recorded with my new Acer Iconia. You may want to skip forward to 0:06 or so and I just did an audioswap since I figure it needs some music so that may make it lag a bit.

Yes, I have no idea why Luna puts up with the kitten going all crazy on her. Thankfully it doesn't happen very often and I try to have the laserpointer reader to distract her. Luna is very patient though, you all should see her at family reunions when the kids won't leave her alone.

Stitchawl · 07-27-2011, 09:07 PM

Honest, he followed me home, Mom. Can we keep him?
