What's that, boy? Timmy's caught in the well? A story of sisterly love.[More:] I had a Lassie moment with my cats yesterday. They have somehow discovered a little panel in the corner of my kitchen cabinets that they can remove, and then wriggle into the tiny space UNDER my cabinets. I replace the panel as tightly as I can, but they always manage to pry it free. At one point yesterday Kaylee was following me everywhere, meowing constantly, and generally being a pain in the ass - which is normally Lance's department. Kaylee is the laid-back one. At first, I just figured she was being needy, but her persistence made me feel like something was up.

Later I was in the kitchen and I heard a scratching sound. I looked down at that little panel and saw little paws pushing through the tiny crack. Looked closer, and sure enough, Lance was trapped in there. It was then that I realized what Kaylee had been trying to tell me for the last hour. I'm glad I didn't leave home!

I have got to figure out how to wedge that thing in there so they can't get it back out. Wily kitties.
O love is a feeling that makes a person strive
To crank out one of the Best Poems of 1995;
Love is what made Lassie the farm dog run back to the farmhouse to alert little Timmy's farm family whenever little Timmy fell into a dangerous farm pit;
Love is a feeling that will not go away, like a fungus in your armpit

Damn. Good thing you have two.
BTW, glad to hear the date went well. Will there be a second?

Looking back, I can really see her "stupid human" frustration with me.

Thanks, jrossi - there has actually already been a 2nd. :) It continues to go very, very well!

Excellent, mike! I live vicariously through the dating lives of others.

Me too. I think I should save myself some time, go to the cat shelter next weekend and adopt the 49 cats I will end up living with when I'm 75, just fast-forward the next few decades and go straight to being a batty old catwoman.

Try duct tape. It fixes everything WD40 can't.

Also, when Oliver is being annoying and yowling for no apparent reason I ask him if Timmy is caught in the well. He usually gives me that "stupid human" look and stalks off.
