Those Darned Cats***

Lintenfiniel Jen has discovered the joys of YouTube. She celebrates by putting up a collage of the kinds of things cats do that are sooooooo adorable except, of course, when they decide to do them in the middle of the night and you've just managed to get off to sleep, in which case all you can think about is the surprising number of small, noisy objects that one cat evidently can discover and bat about on the wood floors and why you didn't put down your foot years before about getting the damned animals to begin with because, apart from all that banging around at 2:00 AM, all they do is get fur all over everything and break things and lounge about with that "I'd eat you if I were bigger than you" look on their faces and constantly fill up the bloody kitty litter and yes, Dear, I just shovelled it out yesterday, for pete's sake and damn, I just found another furball and the girls just found another dismembered mouse, okay, that's pretty disgusting and, yes, Dear, I'll get a paper towel and attend to the latest mess of cat-yak on the carpet and will you please stop following me around and yowling while I'm trying to get dressed, you blasted animal and hey, that's my chair and move yourself 'cos I can't read with your enormous feline derrier in my face and no, I'm tired of petting you and dammit, you just spilled my wineglass again and how much longer before I can finally demand a puppy?

[Insert deep breath here.]

Anyhoo, go on over and take a look.

***A super-deluxe trivial reference here. I'll give you one clue: think comics. And I need more than just the name of the strip. Okay, I'll give you two clues: It ain't Garfield.

UPDATE: We have a winner! Myxolydian Don is entitled to his choice of cigar or coconut. Small consolation, perhaps, for outing himself as such a Bloom County geek but hey.
