INTRODUCTIONS – AND LATE NIGHT OPEN THREAD!

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on November 14, 2008 at 11:10 PM in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, DNC idiocy, Hillary Clinton

I have to run out this morning for an appointment, so I would like to introduce you to one of my animals, my 3 yr old cat, Bug. Bug lives up to his name in three ways: he is as cute as a bug, he scoots like a bug, and he can BE a bug. I love him dearly, of course. This is what he looks like:

And this is what he acts like:



Yep, that’s my boy!! He is SUPPOSED to be an indoor cat, though we screened in the porch for all of the cats to be able to go out. But one of our dogs often blocks for Bug when we are coming in the front door. Did I mention that he scoots like a bug? Uh, yeah. (H/t to my sister for sending the video and the one below.)

This is my cat, Punkin’. She was a feral kitten we rescued, along with two of her siblings. They went to a young family who wanted them badly, and we kept her. She thinks I’m her mother. I’m not kidding. She’s small – less than 9 lbs.

The following video is a combination of their two behaviors. Punkin’ loves to cuddle, and climbs all over me when I am in the midst of writing, or just getting up. If I am standing when she wants to be held, she reaches up to me. It’s very sweet, actually.

Bug, when he wants to be fee, wends around my legs, up against any thing he can find, then jumps up on the washer, headbutting me until I give him treats or more food.

What the heck – might as well finish this out. These are my two kittens. The boy likes to play fetch. He even has a special meow for when he wants to play. He loves the flat caps off of gal. water jugs, and will bring them back to me, dropping them at my feet. I kid you not. He can do this for some time – like a Golden Retriever or something. The girl is very sweet, and both love to cuddle:

Isn’t this a nice way to take your mind off of the possibility that Senator Clinton might end up being Obama’s Secretary of State? Oh, she’ll do a BANG-UP job, no doubt about that. Even her detractors (talking to you, Rachel) admit that. She’s brilliant, and very experienced. It just seems like another way for Obama to keep cheating off the smart kid, getting her to continue creating the policies he swipes. But that’s just my take – I figured he was going to have to do SOMETHING now that he can’t just take her work willy-nilly like he did in the Primary/Election. And just another painful reminder of what SHOULD have been had the DNC not become the ONC…

I’ll save my dogs for another day! It’s an Open Thread for the Late Night Crowd – talk it up!
