Facebook feline chatter
Facebook status line from a friend of mine this morning and the ensuing comments over the next half hour from me and two other social-network friends:
Friend A thinks the cats have reached a new low.
Me: Cats don't have an answer for "how low can you go?" It's a feline thing, you understand.
Friend B: Are they using the carpeting like TP?
Me: My cat does the butt scoot across the floor. Gross.
Friend A: They treated the gift wrap storage bin as their new litterbox.
Friend C: Wow. That's a new one. Both of them? Like, in tandem? Bad kitties! I hope mine doesn't get any ideas.
Me: They left you little gifts they made themselves. They just lacked the opposable thumbs it takes to use the wrapping paper. Don't be such a Scrooge.
Nona, I'm so glad you value the presents your kitties would make themselves. I, on the other hand, wouldn't find any good in that at all. Call me a scrooge or an unsympathetic cat owner, if you must, but my kitty better find the litter box or ... or else.
I know.
I'm such a disciplinarian.

Do your pets have their own facebook? I recently got an invite from my friend's dog for my dog to be her friend on "Dogbook".

Amy- I try to see the bright side of every mess, especially one I don't have to clean up
BTW- My friend replied back "Humbug. I clean their box every day.They know better."
Ah, knowing better and doing better is two completely different things for kitties.

Michelle- I had a Facebook page for my puppy, Stormy, but the bigots at Facebook disabled it because apparently only humans are allowed to have Facebook pages. Dogbook is their answer for pet parents who want to network socially via their critters.

Ah Nona, one would say the same of children. Very different, but yet very much the same.
