Caturday: Someone's Selling This
— Ace

catinthehat.jpg

I like it. But what about the leather biker cap Marlon Brando wore in The Wild Ones?

But what if your cat is attending a more formal soiree? You could go this way:

More stylish looks for cats here.

As silly as this is: This is America. I'm actually proud that someone got it in his head to be a feline haberdasher, and did it, and is selling his cat chapeaus.

Between a country where someone has a goofy idea like this and turns it into a small amount of money (which really just represents time which can be spent on other uses), and one that doesn't, I like the country that has cat hats.

Thanks to JimS.

6 The charming little cat that shares my house (possession is such a dog thing) would go apesh*t if I put something like that on her head.

But for 1/1000 of a second, she'd look freaking adorable.

23 Years ago my son brought home a Cat-in-the-Hat hat, made at school out of paper. My male cat knocked it on the floor and laid down inside it (head sticking out the bottom, tail out the top). It's one of my favorite pictures. These cats though... ninnies.

They want $68 (!) for the herringbone hat.   Only hard-core nuts are going to spend that much on a cat hat.    This would have been a good business idea if they had priced them at say $10, where people would buy them as an impulse gag item.

32 Speaking of Sandusky, the feds subpoenaed docs from Penn State and his charity last week. I guess one of the boys was transported across state lines a couple of times, so that's why they're involved. 'Don't know what took them so long to subpoena the documents, tho, b/c I'm pretty sure they knew all that last summer.

Difference between cats and dogs:

 

Human feeds, shelters, takes dog for walks. The dog looks at the human and worships him as a god.

 

Human feeds, shelters, takes care of cat. Cat thinks, "I must be a god".

49 The red beret with grosgrain ribbon is cute, and it's only 23 dollars. I should get one for my new shelter-rescue kitty.  She's all white and would look darling in that.

Unfortunately she hates me and spends most of her days in the closet of the spare room hiding from human contact.  If I made her wear a hat, I fear there would be no hope for any future relationship.

He just does it for fun, because he knows it freaks her out, but it would be nice if we didn't have these daily events where it sounds like somebody's being killed here.

The big deal today in my neck of the woods is the KU/MU game. It's the very last of the Border Wars, as MU is moving to the SEC. Word on the street is that tickets are going for around $600. KU students were camping out at Allen Field House as early as Thurs. morning.

 

Not only has the game a hell of a lot riding on it, as far as the Big 12 Championship and NCAA placement for March Madness, but it ends an era that literally dates back before the Civil War. Ft. Sumter may have been the official start of the war, but the boys in these parts had been practicing for about 4yrs prior.

 

And, to top it off, KU is where BB first started...

 

Game starts at the top of the hour.

We have foster three generations of kittens from a feral cat in our neighborhood. Found homes for some, and wound up with the rest.

Posted by: Ed Anger - Certified Kos Kid at February 25, 2012 03:50 PM (7+pP9)




House cats are among the neediest creatures on Earth.  They are clingier than dogs and basically useless.  They're just lucky they're soft and cuddly and can control our behavior with their mind-altering feces.

The alpha cat in our household is female and she keeps a tight rein on everyone. My kids know to play with her at her sufferance and on her terms. The females all seem to be picking on one male cat for reasons we cannot fathom. He essentially resides in the kids room and the bathroom sink with quiet slinks to get food. Of course he is like 22 pounds of orange fluff (he is a really sweet cat - the kids could be waterboarding him and he would just take it).

Stockton, CA moves to Chapter 9 filing

"The Stockton City Council will meet Feb. 28 to consider a type of mediation that allows creditors to participate, the first move toward a Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing under a new state law. The council will also weigh suspending some payments on long-term debt of about $702 million, according to a 2010 financial statement.

“Somebody has to suffer and in this case the city manager has decided it should be the bondholders who suffer,” Marc Levinson of the Sacramento-based law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, which represents the city, said at a news briefing at Stockton’s City Hall today. "
