I got contacted today by a lady from the Open University. They wanted to use one of my illustrations — this one — to illustrate ordinary people needing a voice or something. Want to use it in a text book. She said, “of course we’ll credit your website.”

I thought, “whoo-ee! You better look around before you link a textbook to sweasel.com”

And then I went back to composing Seventy-Six Trombones on the Catsophone.

Just us.

Dave was weird like that too.

But now that he’s all froze up in the freezer, he don’t do shit like that no more.

/Thank goodness.

I don’t even know what to think about that

“I have confessed before that I thought of the Catsophone in a dream, but I’ve never explained why I was dreaming of puffing air across a cat’s bottom.”

I will never, for the rest of my days, be able to think – of or interact with – you, without this phrase coming to mind…

If you have an old cat that’s deaf; will still make a noise?

Magnificent! I’d like to order a half-dozen.

My cat does that too. I thought she was simply ignoring me when I’d yell at her when she did it, but now I think she was just enjoying the vibrations caused by the sound of my voice on her “special place.” Jeez, it sounds like one of those old “true confessions” stories: “My Cat Used Me As A Sex Toy!” They say that when cats rub all over you they’re just marking their territory. Uh huh.

Everybody sing it with me!

Seventy-six tomcats led the big parade
With a hundred and ten calicos close behind!
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest cat assholes-
pooting out notes of every Catsophone kind!

I don’t know Weas, sounds reasonable to me. Have I mentioned “Roll the Fool?” I must have. Me laying on the ground, horses rolling me like a log with their noses. With the latest addition of the wolf helping.

Hey, I’m socializing my critters. Srsly it works. My big guy, the thouroghbred, decided to have a bit of a stretch on the ground, so I sat down and leaned back against him and read part of a book. Did I mention my trail horse snores?

Woohoo! I’m retiring. 50, and they’re giving me the golden handshake. Well from the Borg at least but, I’m still a rapacious capitalist.

🙂

I literally laughed out loud at this. Somehow reminded me of this:

Heh. I used to have a Cat Butt Air Freshener from the same people.

And somebody makes a towel holder in cat butt shape. You poke the towel in the, um, receptacle.

Giggling. 🙂

Manx cats have better tone, and are easier to play.

jwm: The manx, though may have better tone, is harder to hold without the “handle”.
IIRC, when I was stationed in Bitburg AB, GE, we used to get visiting European partner aircraft. One of the units that visited had painted on the vertical tailfin their squadron logo, a black cat. Rear 3/4 view, with a red dot where the “airhole” would be located. Yeah, I noticed. I’m warped.

I read somewhere recently that Manx cats are above average in intelligence.

I’d miss the tail, though. Cats have no control of their tails and, on the whole, are rather irritated by them. This causes me no end of amusement.

My cantankerous Manx, Booger the Cat is indeed, too darn smart for her own good. She is fascinated by the other cat’s tail. Gives it a good swat whenever she can.

Allen,

Congratulations?

I have a cat with a stub of a tail, but he’s not Manx…came home one day and found him with his tail skint to the bone. $1300 vet visit et voila! His new nickname is Bob.

Ain’t blowing on his butt, though.

I’m so relieved people don’t have tails. Can you imagine telling your boss, “no, I don’t mind working this weekend” while you had this great snakey thing whipping and lashing around behind you.

“Oh, Grandma, this is just what I wanted for Christmas!” Twitch. Twitch twitch. Twitch.

Stoaty, I’ve been wanting a nice long furry prehensile tail for quite some time now. The Dragon has stated he’s pleased my wish hasn’t been granted, as he claims I get into enough trouble without the help of a tail. *gigglefits*

I don’t know Stoaty, I think it would be pretty cool. The imagination runs wild.

Surely the Dale Carnegie people would teach folks how to control their tail for maximum social gain.

Check out how cats arch and puff their tails when they’re fixin’ to straight-up kill some punk. That’s awesome!

You deploy that in advance when you have 14 items in the 10 or less aisle. You’re standing there with your enormous angry tail hard-on, nobody starts any shit with you.

Getting into/ out of cars would remain a stone bitch though.

why does the catsophonist have odd zoster like marks on her lips…? is she playing that thing incorrectly?
-just asking-

xbrad loves his catsophone, sox.
