After Sue mentioned that I shouldn't say "better than a poke in the eye," because it really wasn't and I could go to jail for false advertising, I decided to give you all some high-quality content today. It was going to be all artsy with birds I
stuffed photographed myself, but when
real quality comes along, a good blogger knows how to be flexible.

Animals help us focus on life's Big Issues. Do people serve me quickly enough? Is this meat bad? Does this fur make my butt look big? I admitted to Annie that there are things I do every day, and one day I think Is this how I always do this? It seems hard today. Now I'll shrug and think Some days you're the screen door, some days you're the cat.

It's true. Some days you're the screen door, some days you're the cat. You crack me up!
Amen, Sister! Existential angst.... If a cat meows at the screen door and nobody hears, does it still make a sound?
Remorse. I think that's a town out east.
Cats can be complete idiots, it's just that they hide it well.
Most of the time.
That wasn't one of those times.
I did feel bad for the screen though.
LOL! Why do they DO that???
Oh so true. Cats can teach so much. And maybe screen doors too.
Thanks, Jill!
Cats all teach Philosophy 101. And, remedial Getting By by Being Cute. Sometimes they do something so ridiculous that I wonder "how has this animal survived as a species??" and then I scoop them up and scritch them and give them some fresh water and a new can of food and I remember how they've made it all along.
Too funny. Maybe you better be looking for a new screen door rather than a new screen room!! Love the pix.
Toxoplasmosis! That's how they've survived as a species.

Donna, we may have to re-screen with pet-proof stuff. The screen room, too!
Carolyn, I think I heard that on RadioLab, maybe? And, we're all infected, like rats, which is why we're crazy about cats? I love that idea, except when I'm grossed out by it. I have heard that we domesticated dogs, and cats domesticated themselves.
Nah cats domesticated us otherwise we'd never put up with all the screen door screen replacements and patches we do so they can practice tree climbing on them.
So true, Sherry. We are wrapped around their pointy little fingers.
you now you would see more birds... sans el gato...
I love the pictures and the commentary.
ROFLMAO!!! Such cute pics!
Have fun
Donna
Duke if it were el gato solamente life would be a lot birdier. As it is we're severely outnumbered and we have to pretend to like it because they're watching us all the time.
Thanks, Jeana and Donna.
I have found myself in situation some what as difficult as that!!!!!
I believe it! It's how we can relate to her thought process. I hope you had some big hands to pluck you off the screen, or at least more sense than a cat has.
HAhaaaaaaa.... I know that screen door trick...
HAhaaaaa... great pictures!
Hmm, did I say that?
My cat Sonja does the cute and often successful silent meow.
But if it isn't dinner time yet, I mouth back the silent no.
Thanks, Carolyn! The screen door trick must be part of their collective consciousness.
Sue, the silent meow gets me every time. One of our cats has to hit me on the face to get my attention for it. WHACK! [silent meow]
