Cat with worried eyebrows is an internet star

With more than 25,000 friends on Instagram, there’s really no reason for this cute cat to look so worried.

The mystified moggy certainly looks slightly puuurrr-culiar thanks to his unusual jet black fur markings.

Sam the cat may have nine lives but will only ever have one expression because of the two black marks on his forehead resembling eyebrows.

After being rescued as a stray cat from the grimy streets of New York, Sam is now an internet star with his very own dedicated fanbase.

It was before my time, but didn’t Groucho like birdies?

[GeronL]

[Slings and Arrows]

I don’t know if he liked the birdies, by he sure liked the chickies.

Re #8: by = but. And thank you very much for the heads-up re Sam, which completely slipped my mind.

[Slings and Arrows]

Re #8 = Re #9. Sheesh.

On Groucho’s TV Game Show (I think it was called “You bet your life”) if you said that day’s “magic word” a stuffed duck would come down from the ceiling.

I forget what happened next, if you won money or got a chance to win (more) money, but it was a positive not a negative, I think.

Maybe someone else can fill us in. And I don’t remember what kind of words were magic. It couldn’t have been a really common word that everyone would say all the time, but it couldn’t have been really obscure ones either.

It wasn’t a “magic” word it was a secret word that was told to the viewers before the contestants got started. If they said the word, the duck came down with some bonus cash.

I remember a show where one of the contestants was a skinny little Hispanic man. He told Groucho that he had 10 kids. When ask why so many, he replied, “I love my wife.” Groucho came back with, “I love my cigar, too, but I take it out once in a while.”

George Finamen (sp?) would tell the viewers and contestants, “Say the Secret Word and win a hundred dollars.”

That would be George Fennemen ... if my old memory serves yet. (*looking up* ‘Sorry about that, George ... not you Burns!’
