John sent me a present. It came in a shoebox. Of course we all know cats
love boxes, but Persia doesn't seem so interested in getting *in* this box
as sniffing this box. I moved it from one high spot to the next. Each
time, she'd go over, stand up and sniff at the box with the utmost look of
concentration :)

It took me a few minutes to realize this is because John's cat Kidder had
probably been in (or on) this box at some point. And possibly his big goofy
dog Shante was around it as well.

Were they leather shoes? Sesame is very interested in new leather shoes, and
their boxes!

I don't know what was originally in the box. Skechers seems to be the maker
of those weird plastic/rubber shoes (oddly enough called Waterbugs or
Ladybugs) that all the young folks are wearing now. John and I definitely
don't wear those but his step-grandson might. They do also make some sports
shoes. I still think it's more likely his cat Kidder was in or around the
box.

He sent me (as a joke) a night light made of hammered metal - a huge
Palmetto Bug (read: big huge cockroach in the Southern US). It made me
laugh because he knows I killed one of these ugly creatures in my bathroom
just last week. Persia chases them when she sees them, and eats them when
she feels so inclined (ewwwww!) I once looked at her and wondered why she
seemed to have extra whiskers... those weren't whiskers. They were the legs
of a palmetto bug hanging out of her mouth. Double-EWWWWWW!

Crocs. It's a Boulder company; the original manufacturer of these
funky plastic shoes. All sorts of companies are making knockoffs,
though.

Skechers have been around 5 or 6 years at least, and they make all
sorts of shoes.

Ah, now I see what you mean. Skechers does make a Waterbug. I've
heard Crocs is running around suing everyone for stealing their
design. I wonder if they're only hitting up little companies, or also
big ones like Skechers.
