cats literary and philosophical

[lagilman]

Aw, Diabolical Plots says some nice things about my "Mad Cats and Englishmen." I purr.

"On the surface, using Oliver as the stories protagonist seems odd and unnecessary, but as I was reading the tales climatic scene, I concluded that using a talking cat as the narrator was a stroke of brilliance."

and speaking of cats...


I have lived with these two cats for plus or minus a decade, each. They have lived together for seven years. I kind of understand why they prefer to have their dishes near wherever I'm working/eating (the dog does the same thing. It's weird pack behavior). But I still don't understand why they're so determined to eat each othr's food when it is and always has been identical to what's in their dish...

Theirs might be better this time! A feline has to make sure! Sheesh...

(What I don't understand is how come Mac is suddenly allowed to finish Barry's gushyfudz in the morning, and Baz is allowed to finish Mac's kibble in the evening. It's ... bizarrely equitable. I am disturb. Is there a secret treaty somewhere, signed in kitty-blood...?)

and now they're switching back and forth between bowls. I give up....

It tastes better when it's stolen.

The food is always better in the other cat's dish. This is an universal rule.
And yay on good reviews.
