Look, you’ve been on the Internet for the last three hours and in that time you’ve retweeted your Instagram, livestreamed your Facebook, Snapchatted your FleepleFlapp, and Hipstapooted your Tindr profile to PeekPoke, SnipSnap, YapYap, and Zombo.com. Enough already.
This is what I need to get myself to bed earlier! Someone to unplug my computer at a reasonable hour!
Or maybe one of these…
Could’ve benefited from kitty’s stern insistence the other day. Was surfing the net on my phone late in the night in my bed, and dropped it – onto my face.
When I wake up and can’t get out of bed and screw around on my phone for a while, I hold it over my face so if I fall asleep it falls out of my hand and bonks me awake. This has saved me multiple times.
THE FUTURE IS NOW
You guys are killing me!
I’ve done that several times with my old tablet, which is twice as heavy as my new tablet. Swearing ensued.
I don’t know how you do it. I get a cramp in the outside tendon/ligament around the elbow from holding just an iPhone SE 🙂
At last, the “voice” of reason! 🙂
Ah, kitty knows me so well. Except that I spend all my time looking at Cutetropolis, Zooborns, and mid-century design blogs.
I’m giving myself a pass for today. I did all my “homework” by last night, and rehearsal starts this afternoon. All I need to do is show up and listen. Whee!
Thanks for the wonderful share. The look on your face says it all. I more post on the internet and the wire is getting pulled. We love this photo so much. Such a cutie. Have a wonderful day.
I need these cats for hubby.
Let’s see: cat parasite made us invent the internet, which we use to revive the practice of cat worshiping that started at the dawn of human civilization. It has always been about you hasn’t it?! Well played, cats, well played.

“A parasite spread by cats could be the key to being a successful entrepreneur, scientists have concluded.”
Ah, waffle language. Basically this means scientists have also concluded the parasite could NOT be the key to b.a.s.e.
Which scientists, was it a blind study, was it a statistically valid sample? I am not a scientist, far from it, but I really object to these dumbed down “sciencey” articles thrown into so-called news media to drive up business for advertisers. They spread misinformation, which is dangerous.
I hope everyone here knows that toxoplasmosis is also harmful to human fetuses and that expectant women should be very careful around cats. I used to clean out my neighbor’s cat-litter-box for her when she was pregnant. Sort of like being a Sabbath goy, I suppose.
Hah! Like being a Sabbath goy. Now that’s funny! Now that I think about it, maybe there’s a small business there.
Hahahahaha.
You could charge pregnant Jewish women twice on Friday/Saturday’s. Light the stove then empty cat box.
Always good to have something to fall back on. ? Not that I’m actually qualified on goyisher grounds.
WUYIZIDI, I hope you didn’t think my crankiness was aimed at you. I think your comments are funny as well as apt. That article pushed my buttons, but you didn’t.
Oh no, not at all 🙂
Lack of free will/bizarre animal behaviors driven by parasites is something I find endlessly fascinating. This seems like another example of that… In this case I’m very curious myself about how the investigators can ethically expose people to a parasite, and observe changes in their behavior…
Reading the article, it seems like research was survey-based. ie taking a sample of people and testing them for risk aversion and parasites and seeing if there is a correlation. Of course, one can argue that correlation is not causation. Maybe those of us with naturally independent and reckless natures are more drawn to kitties because we recognize kindred souls:)
Who could resist that adorable face? Not me, that’s for sure.
Reminds me of this old chestnut
