Altho I've never thought of cats as all that low-maintenance. They require lots of petting.

huqw

they're just differently maintenanced.

Jasper, the big orange cat I take care of every weekend, just stopped meowing his head off. He's annoyed because I went out to dinner & apparently stayed out longer than he would have liked.

xo

. . . that much as I adore dogs, cats are infinitely easier to care for.

Just don't tell Yummy I said so.

On second thought, he wouldn't care. He knows he's The One Who Must Be Obeyed. NOW.

have I gone without things for myself, for various good reasons.

And how many times have I dragged myself out at 3am in sweat pants and slippers, half dead of the flu, from store to store because one ran out of The King's favorite food?

Nobody gets ANY PEACE until The King eats, and eats well.

And you can cuddle and wuzzywoo 'em til they struggle to get away, like the manly men they are...get away about 14 inches, when they turn around and crawl back onto your sternum again, like, "Why'd you stop the wuzzying?"

Some guy taped a piece of bacon to his cat and took a photo?

What am I missing here?

For many reasons, one being that licking uncooked pork would give her worms, would it not?

pork, bacon, piggy, it would make dogs chase her, i don't get it either
oh wait.

After reading some of the posts to his stupid (i said it) blog, my favorites are, that
1. he should have cooked the bacon with a toothpick to make a crown and let her wear it that way
2. he should next try taping buttered bread on her back to see which would prevail, whether bread always lands butter side down or cats always land on their feet
3. the idea of bacon on a cat could be turned into a Samuel L. Jackson movie -- "I'm gettin' TIRED o' this motherfarking bacon on this motherfarking cat!!"

another suggested a real man would try taping bacon on his girlfriend and snapping it...

another fun line (could be an old one, and i'm a dork) read,
dogs have owners, cats have staff

Apparently, Gary, it was a part of a to-do list that was a procrastination
thing, I still don't get the hilarity. Lameness.
And oh yeah, one person posted, how did you feel when the NYT called you up -- and it was to discuss YOUR CAT??????????HA HA
