Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2004Cats are Eating My Dinner
I'm starting to get really protective of my dinner as Omar and Midnight and even Oreo at times are not above stealing my hard-earned dinner right from under my nose. Tonight, Midnight was helping herself to leftover chicken soup from the dish that my son put up on the counter after dinner; that wasn't so bad, but while I was shooing her down, Omar (!) pawed a noodle out of my soup bowl (!) and ran off with it --- ack! Sort of funny, though, 'cause he obviously had thought he'd made off with a morsel of chicken and seemed rather disappointed it only a mere noodle. Sooo, immediately afterward I started thinking about song titles for this -- how about "More Than a Noodle..." (to the tune of "More Than a Feeling") or "Where Have All the Noodles Gone? (to "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?") or "I've Been to the Table Where There Wasn't Much Left" ("I've Been Through the Desert On a Horse with No Name") Christine > I'm starting to get really protective of my dinner as Omar and Midnight and > even Oreo at times are not above stealing my hard-earned dinner right from [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Christine Why not feed them first?

MLB Geez, what kind of slave do you think I am--they always get fed first before anyone else in the family ... and I'm also a soft touch for a begging kitty face. :o) Christine >Why not feed them first? In the "old days" farmers and ranchers always >fed their animals before they ate. MLB In our household, DH feeds the kitties and I do the other cat maintenance. She will feed them first, but it seems that one or two will always save room for some 'people food'. Regards and Purrs, O J >Why not feed them first? In the "old days" farmers and ranchers always >fed their animals before they ate. MLB Just doesn't help with some kitties. Even on those special occassions when I break out the "good" food, good meaning the cats love it but have little real nutrional value, and they have stuffed themselves, Sammy will want some of whatever is on my plate. Thankfully, she's the only one here who begs (or steals) my food. I think sometimes LB eggs her on, though, since if I give up and put some hoomin food on a plate for Sammy, LB ends up eating it. Sammy does her begging/stealing because she likes to, but once she gets her own plate she loses interest.

But since you mentioned the Bee Gees, now you've got this song going through my head. This goes along with the image of a tuxedo-cat strutting around: "Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk..." Note: that's Staying Alive for 9 cat lives.

"She laughs like a child but > she's more than a woman [okay, a noodle] to me..." No - that Billy Joel song is "She's *Always* a Woman" (to me) There is a Bee Gees song called "More Than a Woman" - I swear!! :) Joyce > >> Or maybe to the tune of "More than a Woman" (Bee Gees, I think). > >> "More than a noodle... more than a noodle to me..." :) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Joyce Yeppers, Joyce, I stand corrected. Billy Joel: "She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me..." We seem to be a very music oriented group here. Do you think cats have something to do with it? They do, after all, have rather musical little voices :) Jill > We seem to be a very music oriented group here. Do you think cats have > something to do with it? They do, after all, have rather musical little > voices :) Well, some of them, anyway. I'm not so sure about Smudge. She has a certain "rusty hinge" quality to her meow. Are you a night owl, Jill? Or are you just getting up in the morning? It's 4 AM here in California. I think you're 3 hours ahead, so yeah, I guess it's Wednesday to you. You're up early, but I'm up late - and I still consider it to be Tuesday. :) I just finished editing a technical manual. A friend of mine is a contract tech editor, with too much work at the moment, so I'm subcontracting. At least I'll have a little bit of income!! Joyce > Well, some of them, anyway.

I have suffered from insomnia for years. Hmmm, need to see if my doc can call in a refill of Ambien. I normally just take Valerian root caps if I feel like I'm not going to sleep well. When the insomnia hits I wake up at 2:30 or 3:00 AM. It was really bad when I had a "real" job. I'd wake up at 2:30-ish and just toss and turn until I had to get up at 5 and get dressed and ready for work. By noon I was exhausted. But everyone needed my help for something. I used to joke I was going to change my name and not tell anyone what it was so I wouldn't have to answer to cries for "Jill!" all day long. Now at least I can go back to sleep when I feel like it. I think I'm enjoying this semi-retirement :) Now, guess what? Time for me to go back to sleep. Jill >> > "More Than a Noodle..." (to the tune of "More Than a Feeling") >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >more >than a woman [okay, a noodle] to me..." No there is a Bee Gee song about More Than a Woman. The Billy Joel song you quoted is called Always a Woman. Suz Macmoosette Thank Heavens There's Only One =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= =^..^= Waiting for inspiration.

What I think the Net *really* needs is something analogous to the IMDB, for music. Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > What I think the Net *really* needs is something analogous to the > IMDB, for music. That would be GREAT!! As of this time, there are all sorts of sites out there with information about different music - band/singer/performer info, lyrics sites, tour itineraries, reviews, etc - but nothing integrated, organized, and cross-referenced the way IMDb is. It would be a lot of work (and I'm certainly not volunteering to do it :)), but it would be such a wonderful resources. I certainly use the IMDb all the time. By the way, did you all know how IMDb got started? About 10-odd years ago, a bunch of guys on one of the movie newsgroups were talking about actresses they thought were hot. Pretty soon, a list was formed of the most popular ones, and it became known as The List. Of course, new names were added to The List as more people joined in the disucssion. Then people started wondering what movies all these different hotties were in, so folks who knew an actress's career would list all the movies they knew she'd been in. Eventually, actor's names were added, director's names, etc, with all the films they were involved in, and the file got huge. For a while it was archived on some FTP site and various mirror sites. In '96 or so, the data got put into HTML format so it could be available to the newly created website. All of this was done on a purely volunteer basis, and visitors could add or change information if they saw errors, etc. At some point, movie studios got interested in it and started making more information available. After all, it only gave their films free publicity. Since then, some company bought it, but I forget which. (AOL/ Time-Warner, maybe?) Now people are paid to keep up the site. I'm sure I've left out a ton of details in this story, and that somebody here can fill in what I've omitted. But I think it's pretty cool that a net institution like IMDb got started because some h*rny guys were discussing their favorite film babes. :) Joyce > > What I think the Net *really* needs is something analogous to the > > IMDB, for music.
