Trading Arms

Another case of the importance of choosing your words wisely was exhibited during a recent CNN broadcast. At one point, the on air newscaster was reporting about a new prosthetic development which is helping the disabled. After describing a husband and father who lost both arms in a factory accident, either the reporter, teleprompter writer or both used poor judgment with the words "thanks to new CUTTING edge technology......." Say what???? I may have damaged my DVR by rewinding the scene 12 times in one of those 'She did not just say that" moments. ***

As I am house and cat sitting for a family member I've decided to pass along lessons I've learned in the form of 'Rules for the Cat.'

Rule #1 - No darting across my feet when I walk in the door loaded with groceries and suitcases.
Rule #2 - When using the liter box, a complete sand covering is required. Or grow opposable thumbs and learn to use the glade aerosol can.
Rule #3 - Since I am single and not dating, stop showing off as to how you can lick yourself.
Rule #4 - When I am in bed reading, do not lick my face. As I have just gotten into bed I have obviously already exfoliated.
Rule #5 - When I am sleeping, do not crawl onto my chest and sharpen your claws into my chest.
and Rule #6 - When I am tr7ying, t4ryoinng, TRYING to type on my laptop, STOP hitting my hand with your paw to make me pet you!
