ha ha ha ha.....it would be interesting to see how many times the words kitty, cat, or anything cat related appeared on your blog :)

The antlers though....priceless...ooo kitty.....

Of course, the graph is equally true for me if you swap in a dog. So, my alert regarding the cartoon was more one of solidarity than calling anyone out on anything.

By the way, you should see Graham in his court jester collar we used for Halloween.

True! A search would indeed turn up a lot of cat-themed blogging.

And what makes the graphic especially funny is that cats in general keep their contempt barely contained, of course, so we're ooohing just before they swipe/bite/otherwise draw blood. The seething of the be-antlered cat exhibit A.

Would love to see Graham in his costume! Did you get his definitely test results, by the way?

Toby said...

Yes, he's healthy. It was a dog-parent overreaction (combined with poor vet bedside manner) to what turned out to be tick bites. So now we just need him to get tested for Lyme's Disease.

Laura said...

Well, completely understandable that you would be concerned, given his history. I wouldn't call that an overreaction.

Yay, Graham! Hope he doesn't have Lyme's disease. Hope he's not spreading the tick love. Shudder.
