In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
The misanthropic Mencken complained, then put his paw over his nose and went back to his usual occupation.

They have plenty of energy -- at night, when I'm trying to sleep. At that time they're thundering back and forth up and down the hallway and around and over the bed like a herd of buffalo (you have to remember that these are *not* small cats -- Mencken is the lightest of the two, and he weighs 15 pounds).
ReplyDeleteMencken is the misanthrope. The Mighty Fang is a cuddle-kitty who likes everybody. I'm still amused by his liking for sleeping under my quilt during the day though...

I have one hellcat myself so I know the feeling. Who gets to the fish first you or the cats?
ReplyDeleteOff subject, I borrowed (stole) one of your comments to post on my blog. Hope you don't mind.
