Feline Physics

The third law of cat physics reads:

The temperature of a room can be measured by the length of a sleeping cat.

I'm thinking we may need to turn the air conditioning on.

Cooperative Cat (updated)

Just back from the vet: Molly's ear infection is all cleared up and, while having the vet poke in her ears really pissed her off, Molly behaved like a perfect lady.

The vet recommended a new kind of cat food and I had all kind of visions of horror. Cats hate having their food changed, but I trust this doctor implicitly so... I put the new food in Molly's dish and held my breath. Molly gobbled it like this is just what she had been waiting for. Whew.

Update: answers for Barbara

The ear infection was a yeast infection in both ears. Much head shaking, scratching with back foots, and black gunk. Injections of medication twice daily were required, with periodic douches for cleaning which Molly most emphatically did not appreciate. We have no clue how she got it, since she has been strictly an indoor kitty for more than two years.

New food is Innova Evo, and she is still chomping happily on it.

TP Assassin

Yesterday evening while we were watching tv, Molly was acting rather "out of sorts," snubbing us is typical feline fashion and keeping her distance from us. We didn't know what we had done to offend her, but... Those of you who have cats know that pretty much any little thing can send them into something resembling a terminal snit. Anyway, we figured she'd get over whatever had ticked her off.

Well, come bedtime we found out she had merely been "maintaining a low profile." The bathroom was ankle deep in shredded toilet paper.

This girl flees when a bird approaches the window, but she is instant death on toilet paper, and she can find it anywhere. She stalks the house during the night and opens cabinets looking for spare rolls. No tp holder can be considered out of her reach, and she can find it stored inside baskets. She can take a double roll down to the core in a heartbeat, and the results are truely awesome.

So if you come to visit and you need to use the facilities, let me explain...
