The topic: Handsome’s College of Street Smarts

----------------------------------------------

 

 

Handsome, dean of the College of Street Smarts


Hello there and welcome to Handsome’s College of Street Smarts.  I’m Handsome and this is my school.

If you’ve searched high and low for a school that offers what you need and you want a curriculum that will help you in real life, not some wussiefied fancy schmancy courses that other schools offer, this is the place for you.

Here you’ll find many different classes that will help you to get by in your daily life. You won’t find cooking courses, classes in computer repair or gardening. Nope, that’s not what you’ll learn here.

At HCoSS, you’ll learn such useful thing as the fine art of levitation. This comes in handy when you’re being chased by a large dog or small, unruly child.

You can also amaze your friends at catnip parties.

We have courses in camouflage, which Richie demonstrates for you,

height

 


We’ll help you to overcome your fear of heights, by starting you out on a short beam and gradually take you up to the tallest branches of a tree. You’ll also learn to overcome your fear of cleaning yourself in public. There is nothing wrong with a quick bath when one is needed.  Better a moment to wash, than to walk around with little berries hanging from your butt fur. Other cats can be so quick to point and snicker and make fun of your personal hygiene habits.

Another one of the more popular courses at HCoSS, is the course in the “Glowing Cat Eyes” that we so often find useful in our daily life, when we are able to put others under our spell.  In the picture above,

Kirby shows some new students how it’s done.

Of course, there are also classes in street fighting. Street fighting will become second nature to you, where you’ll even be doing it in your sleep!

In the photograph above, Bart is showing his style. He’s most likely dreaming of getting his paws around the neck of an enemy.

Richie practices the back leg neck throttle on his sister, Daniece. (Don’t worry, nobody was hurt.)

And it’s not all work, work, work, learn, learn, learn here at the College of Street Smarts. Every Friday, it’s time to cut loose. There is plenty of tuna juice in the kitchen (here the students try to see how many of them can get into a bowl at one time)

And plenty of catnip on the patio.

So, if you’re wanting more in a school than computing, gardening and cooking, if you want knowledge you can really use, then Handsome’s College of Street Smarts is for you.

(And don’t tell anyone you heard it here, but a little birdie told me that the head of that so called “University” is a scam artist and planning on leaving the country once he’s gotten all of the tuition. Of course, that would never happen here…I promise…)

This week’s Carnival of the Cats is being hosted at enrevanche.  Pounce on over there to catch up on this weeks’ Carnival and find out what’s going on in the wide world of kitty cats.

The topic: Was this mean?

----------------------------------------------

Yesterday, late afternoon, it was about 6:00, I noticed that three of the kittens were already in the house.  So, I took advantage and chased Little Bit in, along with the rest of the cats.

So, by 6:30 (about two to three hours earlier than normal), all of the cats were in.  I just got to thinking how hard it is on me to get them in later (especially those little black kittens, they blend and I’m out there barefoot with a flashlight) Brian manning the screen doors and I chase and he opens, hoping that no one goes out when one goes in.  I need to relax a little before I go to sleep and believe me, rounding up cats at 9:30 at night, isn’t what I’d call relaxing.

The cats weren’t all that thrilled, the kittens haven’t learned yet that crying gets you nowhere.  They sounded pathetic, but we didn’t care. I actually shut down the computer around eight o’clock and went out and laid down on the sofa to watch television. I promptly fell asleep.  He woke me around 9:30 and said “let’s go to bed”. 

It was nice.  I had a good night’s sleep, now I need another two weeks like last night.  I think I’m going to try to get the cats in earlier from now on.  Heck, they go out between four and five in the morning, coming in between six and seven in the evening shouldn’t be all that awful for them.

The topic: ponderance

----------------------------------------------

Someone got to my spay/neuter page by way of a google search. 

Searching for “thoughts of killing cats”.  I find this extremely disturbing. Were they looking for ideas?  Were they seeking help?  Were they looking for like minded folk?

I tried resolving the IP number to a domain, but came up empty handed.  Nothing exists.

I find this very unsettling.

The topic: Frozen fruit discovery

----------------------------------------------

I found out this morning that if you buy a bag of frozen cherries, leave them in the freezer for about two or three years (maybe it was longer), thaw them out in the refrigerator overnight, then try to eat them isn’t a good idea.

They were pretty bad, I didn’t even chew before I spit out the first one, then washed them all into the garbage disposal.

Nasty.
