Meryl Yourish has been documentin' the progress of Mr. Tig over the past months, 'specially his sleepin'-on-the-bed etiquette. Things seem to be movin' along nicely, but just in case, I thought I'd post a short visual aid on how not to behave. Cat Man Do by animator Simon Tofield of Tandem Films.

I occasionally like to play with my food, but dressin' 'em up before chowin' 'em down is a bit much. "Two Guinea pigs, wearing Peruvian local dresses, are displayed during the Guinea pig food. Guinea pigs are native to the high Andes, and have been an important source of protein for millennia. Nowadays, in Peru, the animal is served with a generous portion of Andean tubers."

Bar-ack!'s team is tryin' to define the upcomin' election in terms of age so here's somethin' to consider. Accordin' to AHM, when she was a pup, she'd dump the piggy bank and run to the corner whenever that merry music maker (aka the ice cream truck) headed down the street. Dumb, but then she was YOUNG. Now that she's OLD, she still runs around whenever that stupid music starts, but now she's

Tomorrow all you supposedly superior human animals will be rushin' outside to build a fire and burn some meat, then sit around watchin' other humans blow up stuff to create a bunch of loud, sparkly night lights. Can't say I’m crazy 'bout the explodin' lights business, but anytime people haul piles of raw meat—or, in our case, a coupla' slabs of ribs—outside, there's always a chance gravity will

I haven't worked out that opposable thumbs issue, but I'm still better at figurin' than your average Demo-cat. Smarter, too, 'cause they seem to wanna' make John McCain's military service an issue in their campaign. They're basically tryin' to say it isn't relevant to an election, which probably makes sense to Wesley Clark considerin' he got booted from the ring after he screwed up at NATO.

Found this in the mailman's bag—and I didn't even have to chase him. While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
