Well, if I had the life of my catz, I wouldn’t going through it several times.
Wow, they’ve each turned over since the last time I was in here!

I picked Shannon up for a while, but she insisted on getting back on the chair to play dead. I hope she’s not going to turn out to be as boring as Wednesday, or we’ll have to try *another* cat!
Is this how all Crazy Cat Persons get started?

Cats are like shoes to some people...gotta have a different one for each occasion.
I don’t thing a young kitty will be still for long. The urge to play is too genetic. Is there any kitty toys around?

LOL!
Look at it this way: Wednesday is a calming influence for Shannon.
The logical sequence is...if she’s that good, let’s see what she’ll do with a second one.... ;o]
(The longest journey begins with just one cat.)

If the patient had exploded, would anyone have considered it “OK” to have lost several surgeons, nurses, medics, and others who could have saved hundreds of more lives??

That’s kind of the whole point of the story....Everyone involved knew the danger, and still refused to let this man die. They all volunteered.
And actually, if you think about it, the experience they got working on this man with live ordinance will likely result in more saved lives down the road.

Surgical Robots are fine....They just better keep the nurses real. (at least the hot ones)

Being the highly trained professionals that they were, they saved his life and as a nation who's troops value each others lives, they succeeded.
Why would you ask me such a stupid question? Are you the type of person who would have ran away from this man with your tail tucked between your legs??

Yes, my mom gave us a pile of cat toys when she picked up the boys at the airport last Wednesday. They were provided by her friends for her cat, but her cat weighs 19 pounds and doesn’t do anything but lie in Dad’s lap and sigh.
Shannon likes the toys. I guess she was just resting this afternoon. She thinks the gerbils are fun, too!

She’s immense. They tried to put her on a diet (she was fat when they adopted her) but she drove them nuts begging for food.

Good morning. Shannon is chasing her tail, with some success. Wednesday has retired under the router, presumably for the rest of the day, unless I put more food in the bowl.
Boys are coming home today, so I’d better get out for my run. 90’s again ...

Sounds as though you have a busy day unscheduled.
One of these days I’ll try that.

Good Morning!
Santa Ana conditions here....mid 80s and very low humidity. Just not much wind to speak of...yet.
