My poor baby has had mischief inflicted on him. First, Bretts nephew put sticky tape on him. Later on, he shot a video of him playing air drums. In the video, the nephew sits down in front of the camera holding Butterscotch. He grabs both of his arms and waves them in the air to the drum beats.
When Brett showed me the video, I couldnt help but feel sorry for my poor baby. I was amazed Butterscotch managed to sit through the three minute session. Patience is not one of his virtues. That said, he does manage to give Bretts nephew a bite or two before finally wriggling away at the end of the video. As usual, he looks imperious, completely unimpressed with the world and the people around him.
Speaking of musical cats, I have come across comments on Face book where people have said Nora the piano playing cat is a fake. I asked my sister what she thought. Shes definitely not faking it, said my sister. I know its real because she sounds off key.
Can I be maudlin here? With all the recent press coverage devoted to Oscar, the cat who is able to predict when someone is about to die,

it made me think about how I would like to die. Obviously, most of us wont have any say on the matter but if we could choose how to spend our final days, who or what would we spend it with?
As usual, animals werent far from my mind. If I could choose how I would die, I would like to die in my sleep, like my grandma did at the ripe old age of 86. But just before that happens, I would like to have Butterscotch and Gingersnap lie on me and purr at me while I am lying in bed, mentally preparing to say goodbye to the world. If I had to go to hospital, I would definitely love to have a cat like Oscar come to say goodbye to me.
Like Dewey, theres now a book out on this amazing feline

Time for me to go shopping, especially now that I have almost finished all the new books I recently bought.

When we were young, my old mans solicitor would come over and try to talk to us. Back then, we had no idea who he was or what he wanted. We only knew he was here to see our old man and he had no business trying to talk to us. But talk to us, he did. We never responded to his questions or his attempts to be friendly. Eventually, one day he said, Cat got your tongue? Again, we did not respond but this time it was more out of incomprehension rather than spite.
Years later, the solicitor had to see my old man again. As usual, he tried to be friendly. My sister still wouldnt talk to him but I did. I realised he wasnt so bad once I got to know him. I was embarrassed by my previous immaturity but the solicitor didnt seem to mind.
On my sisters prized Late Show DVD is a vox pop by Tony Martin. After asking several people a question, he then directed the same question to a dog. The dog didnt respond so Martin points the microphone at the dog and says, Cat got your tongue? Whenever I see that skit, I think of him.

My colleague has been trying for weeks to help me cut down my spending. Finally, after one $350 dress too many, he said, No more shopping. Not even window shopping.

I got my book back! The sales assistant even called to tell me after the owner dropped it off at the shop. Talk about customer service. I cant thank the owner and staff of store enough. It was nice to have something good happen after having a frustrating day where many things went wrong.
