I didn't see anyone mention it here, but did you guys happen to watch
Cold Case?  The somewhat tough-as-nails detective turn out to be a
softie for cats.  Not just any cats, but special needs cats.  One had
only one eye and one had only three legs.  She seemed to love them at
least, except for the noticably "intact" male.

I saw that! LOL! They overdid the makeup on the one-eyed cat, though,
don't you think? I imagine some group will be up in arms over it, as
there are probably plenty of legitimately-one-eyed cat actors out of
work! ;)

Shoot, I only saw the very end of that show last night, when she was getting
into her bed with the white cat and the orange cat.  I guess I wasn't paying
much attention because I didn't notice their disabilities.  Are the cats always
in the show?

I saw it and did not notice anything until the one man referred to
"Tripod".  I really didn't see the legs.   I like the show but think
the lead lady looks rather anemic.

I've only seen it once, and that stupid hairdo they give her drove me
nuts.

That's funny...for the few minutes I saw it, I mostly spent the time wondering
why she wears her hair that way.  It's kinda odd.  Like why have it up at all
if that's the way she's gonna wear it.  She ought to wear it down.  She must
have some say in how she wears her hair and she must think it looks hot.

It looks like she's got some eighties banana clip buried in there
somewhere. It's like it sorta wants to be a ponytail, but she's only
got about three chunks of hair that are even long enough to gather
together to attempt to make one. Whether she has input into her
hairdo or not, it's FUGLY! :-)

I agree...now watch, pretty soon everyone will be wearing their hair that
way...'cept us, of course.

 I loved it too.  I found it interesting how they used it as a device
for showing gender differences - she is the softie for special-needs,
while he acts with barely concealed revulsion (not a good sign)

Yep. The moment when he recoiled due to the cat's missing eye was very
telling!

I thought it was neat to finally see her apartment, and liked how
tacky it is. (It seems the northeastern cities are in vogue again for
tv shows! Per The Guardian, Hack, etc.) I like the female Cold Case
actress, and the character--except for the way they have her act "like
a man" at times to show how tough she is. The way she puts her face up
in the faces of tough guys. For too long getting ahead for females
meant acting like men. There are other ways than blatant cockiness,
even in police/detective work.

Yeah, I just grab my crotch a lot and spit on the sidewalk.

You know who does it well is Mariska Hargitay on Law & Order: SVU.  I
really like her in that show.

I agree it's goofy.  When she took it down in the cat episode, she did
have a clip.  I don't see the point since the hair hanging down the
side would be more bothersome than the hait in the back.  It looks like
her hair is growing in a chunk out the back of her head.  

Boy, this has gone way off topic, but interesting that so many of us
watch the show.  :)

I think they are trying to imply that she is SO busy she doesn't have time
to waste on brushing or combing her hair.  It looks awful in every episode.

Thanks Candace.  It's an anonymous quote I read somewhere.  If anyone knows
the source I'd like to credit them in the quote.

And if she's going to bleach her hair, she should do a better job.  Talk
about black roots!

I didn't catch a good enough glimpse.  LOL.  But the guy asking if the
other cat's name was Tripod is going to get a letter.  ;)

Hey!  My Sebbie had a three-legged sibling named Tripod!  All of
Sebbie's family were rescued ferals and all, including his mom, went to
good homes.  I think it's a cute name.
