On cat torture…
I just looked at that picture that erin posted of me and alice playing the piano, and felt a little bad; i wanted to make it clear that i really like to never, ever torment or tease our cats. I actually was genuinely interested in seeing if alice or jane had any inherent musical ability (for the record, jane has a little more talent, but not much). And just for the record, in case anyone thinks its ridiculous that cats might have musical talent, well, i got the idea from a little cat named nora:
Thank you for the presents! (Look what we did with them…)
Our awesome neighbor, Susan, brought us over a delivery of 3 bags of baby clothes. She has two boys, so, is hoping we have another (which, if you don’t know the story of our block, it seems only boys are conceived on this end of Hawthorne). She also said, she is sure it’s a girl….
The clothes are adorable, my favorite outfit being a pair of red corduroy overalls, similar to the pair worn by my first cabbage patch kid. Aw…. Well, seeing as there’s no baby available quite yet, it didn’t take us long to wonder how a cat or two might look in some baby clothes. Actually, we were wondering how well the cats are going to hold up under future tortures, if, by chance, the kid has a similar obsession with animal dressup to the one its mama had (has?).
