“Do I chase the tail, or does the tail chase me?” So mused French existentialist Jean-Marie Phlegmulard (1893-1947) in his collected essays “I Pounce, Therefore I Am.” A key thinker in feline philosophy in the early 20’s, his later years saw a decline into self-doubt and catnip addiction.

He looks like he needs a hug. I volunteer.
The hovertext is priceless!?
I agree April, it wins the internet today!
Self-doubt and catnip addiction is pretty darned good also. Self-medicating with catnip for one’s existential woes – hmmm.
I. Can’t breathe. I’m laughing too hard. Also I’m afraid I’ll snorf up the Kitty morsel.
I’d never peg such a cute kitty as a Purrosopher or is Furrlosopher.
Philosofur?

Now I wonder if the little guy will be like Maru and still try to fit in that tiny chair when he’s middle-aged and round. I’d love to see that!

You guys are funny today!
“What if I never find out who’s a good boy?” 🙁
*snerk*
Ha!
Or that the Hokey Pokey really IS what it’s all about.
Oh, darn, I suspected it was.
I’m sorry but I can’t think of philosopher without thinking of the Philosophers song.
How did I miss that one??? Truly fabulous.
An ex-boyfriend of mine majored in philosophy before law school. He sang this alllll theeeeee tiiiiiime. 🙂
Funny how it all comes round again, isn’t it.
It’s the Circle Game… thanks Joni!
Oh please people, we all know that look.
He’s trying to decide between yakking on your favorite angora sweater and ‘making a deposit’ in your new loafers. Or if he can shed more dark hair on your new white couch as opposed to light hairs on your job interview suit. Or if the ugly vase your MIL gave you/expect to see on her next visit can defy gravity.
OMG – all he needs is a tiny pipe and a beret.
Oh my god, the pic, the text, the hover, the comments! Soooooooo good old!
