Kitty! OMG! Cats <3 boxes!→[More:]My friend Lani's cat Twinkle has both the appearence and personality of a small cow.
The specklet picture reminds me of this house down the street. It's on a sort of half-cul-de-sac. (The street takes a right-hand turn; this house would basically be home plate if the streets were 1st and 3rd.)
Anyway, I don't know how many cats these people have, but they all come out at dusk. I've counted as many as 12 cats lying in the driveway at one time (and there are always a few on the roof too). They just sit there and watch the world pass by, spread across their domains at what look like predetermined stations.
If I didn't like cats, it would totally creep me out.
Aw crap, I somehow cutted the last sentence from that comment: Now I want to go strew a bunch of boxes around their property just to see what would happen.
Pup, I think Hitchcock rejected that as a script idea, and went with a slight variation. It was later picked up and implemented quite poorly by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
