Important Stuff -- Or Not: Cat Crack

Cat Crack

In my never-ending quest to find a toy my cats will like, I picked up a laser pointer the last time I was at the pet shop. BIG mistake!

Ginger, my little calico, is so hooked on it that she actually PLEADS for it. The odd thing is, she doesn't think it's some sort of strange animal. She actually knows where the beam is coming from, because she looks at my hand when the red dot disappears. She bumps the side table where I keep it with her head when she wants to play. And she wants to play ALL the time. Even my older cat will take a swat at it -- when it passes within her reach. I could probably cause a train wreck by making the two crash into each other, but I won't. Really. I won't.

Now to stop Ginger from yowling at three in the morning, which is why I'm up blogging at this time of night.

I got my cat a laser pointer a couple of months ago. It has a carabiner attached, so it rattles when picked up. No matter how quietly you try to pick it up, she can hear it from anywhere in the house--even from a sound sleep.

She's picky about her toys, too. Have you tried the plastic ring from a gallon milk jug (or something like it)? There are also toys that are basically the same thing, just sturdier plastic. They're one of Twix's favorite toys. Warning, however, they get batted under furniture frequently, so keep several around to keep down the frequency of toy safaris.; 12:24 PM

As far as a laser pointer, my good pal Jedi Master Rob gave us one a few years ago and our kitties go insane over it... I should get another one since that one mysteriously disappeared....; 6:56 PM

How did you make your cats so smart?

You make me want a cat and I have never even owned one.; 11:18 PM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
