Thought of the Day #2 - Cat Fancy

Pop Quiz:

Q. What is a cat's favorite place to lay?

A. Squarely on your book while studying for your final.

I'll tell ya, nothin' says, "thanks for the yummy Friskies, Mama," like the cat flopping down in the middle of your book. To add insult to injury, the probablity that the orientation of the cat's flounce places the kitty's no-no hole about two inches from your nose is REALLY high in my house. What gives?

Seriously, here is the textual representation of me studying Physics last night:

"The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular method of displaying the chemical elements. Although precursors to this table exist, its invention is generally credited to Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869. Mendeleev intended the table to illustrate recurring ("periodic") trends in the properties of the elements. The layout of the table has been refined and extended over time, as new elements have been discovered, and new theoretical models have been developed to explain chemical*...kitty foot...kitty knee...kitty femur...kitty thigh...kitty butthole."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

And, judging from the resulting odor, SOMEONE needs to have their anal glands expelled...Ack!

But, as always, I try to find the bright side: someday I'll know how to expell anal glands, so at least they won't stink when they are ruthlessly aimed at my unsuspecting, unarmed nose.



*That entry is actually from Wikipedia...I didn't have my Physics book with me. Might as well quote my sources, blah, blah, blah.
