Pet Monologues

What’s it mean? It means revealing a secret. Where did that
expression come from?

Graham’s Random Ramblings. says, “Would appear as though in days of past one would trot off and buy a pig from your local butcher at the market. The pig would be placed in a bag for convenience. (The bag was called a “poke”). A dishonest butcher would replace the pig with a big cat. Now, if you opened the bag later, to find out that you had been taken for a ride, the cat was “let out of the bag”, the Butchers secret was exposed.

Back to the poke. If you buy a pig in a poke you have bought something worthless. From the same origin.

A number of sources say this is not true, the cat referred to is the cat ‘o nine tails, used to flog sailors in the Royal Navy. The whip was kept in a bag, and when taken out, it meant that the flogging was a certainty.”

Now Wikipedia didn’t know that!

What about “Horse Feathers”? Read the rest of this entry »

Two very smart squirrels. One very crazy rube goldberg obstacle course.

Equally wild are people who concoct these…happenings. The cat’s house is pretty wild. I guess it’s no different than electric trains going from room to room. One train build-out went from kitchen to family room. The train delivers beer and pretzels.

This is not a sneak preview. But then again, I never saw this movie before and it is too incredible. This must be a Disney movie, right?

A new meaning to rescue, right? This one makes you think. right? BTW—just saw the movie “Ratatouille” and when you think about that—disgusting.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today:
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then –
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds –
your foot just squashed one.

You’re always typing.
Well, let’s see you ignore my
sitting on your hands. Read the rest of this entry »
