If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

 

I’m disabled and walk with crutches so the one and only thing I wish my cats could understand is that they need to stay away from my feet so that I don’t fall and kill myself and/or fall on them and hurt them. That in itself would break my heart.

Cats, Duh!

If you know me, or even if you just follow my blog, you know that my favorite animal is the cat. Big cats, little cats, wild cats, fat cats…all cats! Here’s my current crew, lovingly nicknamed “Jack’s Pack.”

My Little Tribble

Remember Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy? There was an episode called The Trouble With Tribbles (1967) that I thought was quite amusing as a kid.

I don’t remember how old I was when I first saw the Tribbles episode. I do know that when I was in Junior High School and taking a sewing class I made my own little Tribble!

My little Tribble eventually became a cat toy. BobCat plays with it these days and bunny kicks the shit out of it. I really don’t know why I’ve hung onto it all these years!

My little Tribble doesn’t look anything like it used to. It used to have a nose, ears, and a tail, but now it just looks like a furry, round ball with eyes and a mouth! It’s rather funny and I won’t ever get rid of it because I’m attached to it now.

My Poor Little Tribble

Daffy Duck

Growing up, Daffy Duck was always my favorite cartoon. It remains my favorite today. Daffy has been around for much longer than you’d think! He first appeared in 1937! Can you believe it? He’s as old as my dad! 

Did you know Daffy’s middle name is Sheldon? I love the old Looney Toons cartoons – they have screwed the whole thing up with their newest version of the cartoon and characters. It’s just awful what they have done! Even the animation is wonky. 

Daffy Duck was created by Robert McKimson, Friz Freleng, and Chuck Jones, and eventually became the screwy rival of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, and more. I always rooted for Daffy because Bugs was a smart aleck. I just wanted Daffy to win for a change! 

Remember how Daffy always got his bill shot off by Elmer Fudd? His favorite saying was “Youuu’re deththpicable!” He was a barrel of laughs…and failures. Poor Daffy. Everything backfired on him, no matter what.
