Catching TWO mice.

Anything at all is possible.  Sometimes that’s a bad thing — that’s why we can jump so high and run so fast.  Sometimes it’s beyond a good thing.  Sometimes it’s a big furry miracle – and that’s why we can purr.

When all I can think about is having a bath in the tub, with water — it’s just too hot.

Now, Daniel doesn’t learn a lot.  He’s not really equipped.  The last thing he learned well, he learned a long time ago.

When his pet human was very small, they used to feed it human-kibble.  You’ve seen it, it comes in boxes, with a bee on the front.  Small humans like it.  The small human, who is a kindly soul, discovered that Daniel liked it also. 

At this point they kept the small human in a sort of a giant dish, trying to make its legs work properly.  And keep it out of things.  It discovered that if it dropped human-kibble in the bottom of the dish, Daniel would come and eat it, and tickle its feet.  So it started dropping its kibble down there a lot.  And Daniel started eating it, a lot.

Apparently this kibble is like grass, for humans, and for cats, well, it’s like super-grass.  Daniel began having Episodes.  Both kinds.  The adult humans made the connection, but Daniel and his pet didn’t (the pet was VERY young), so they had to change the small human’s kibble.

Now, what Daniel learned from this is that humans have food around their feet.  He could have learned that eating things you’re not meant to eat is foolish. 

But he left that for the rest of us.

And it’s good to have a home to wander back to.

Utley was a large fluffy black tom who thought he should live in the house.  He worried that people would forget how incredibly beautiful he was, not seeing him arranged nicely on the sofa.   

Because he wanted to make sure people remembered how beautiful he was, Utley would arrange himself on top of the dryer in the garage.  But instead of being glad to look at such a beautiful cat, the human mother of his house fussed because there were long black hairs where she wanted to fold the clean clothes.  She would shoo Utley off, wipe the area, and fold the clothes, muttering. 

One day Utley bounced into the garage and jumped onto his display area without even looking.  He landed on a bear!  “Bear, bear, bear!”  he shrieked, jumping off and running away, his fur and tail poufy.  It wasn’t really a bear, though.  It was a piece of ancient bearskin that the mother had put on the dryer hoping to scare him off—and of course, it worked.  She left it on there whenever she wasn’t using it for a whole week, and by the end of that time, Utley had resolved to leave the garage to the bear.

Moral:  Just being beautiful doesn’t keep the bears away.
