Mblue, that's so bizarre! I sing that song ALL THE TIME. That and "Scary, Scary World" by Gibson (the other cat in that house).

"Now. Do you think there has ever been a cat who thinks: 'I am not a good cat. I am an IMPOSTER cat. I should not be eating this tuna. I should be letting Other Cat, who has better way of being cat, to have this tuna.' NO. Cats NEVER say this."

This is the point at which I died from sheer happiness.

"A cat, they don't need a checklist, but perhaps you do"

That is where I realized that it is mighty dusty in here.

Then George told me he likes a mouse and asked me not to judge. And I laughed. I think I will cry some more and laugh some more, since there are at least 4 more and hopefully many others soon.

These are adorable. Some good advice in there, too!

Yay George!
Also, I need to learn the "kitty kitty" song so I can add it to the repertoire of household cat songs.

At first, I was vaguely put off by the relaxed pace but the cat makes some valuable points.

I started off thinking I would hate this, but I was O so very, very, very wrong.

Tangential item of interest to those in the NYC area: xingcat's play Parthenogenesis will be debuting at the Fringe Festival next week.

I don't know why but the cat told me I was a good person and worthy of being loved and I started sniffling at work oh god.

Will be watching all of these tonight.

Is it just me or does that cat sound an awful lot like Yanis Varoufakis?

This is really clever, though. I think it'd be great to help teach kids how to use CBT (No, not THAT CBT, the other one).

Oh my! My accent work is absolute rubbish, and I don't have a wide range of character voices, but wow, that's really close. Maybe it should be, "Be good to Greece. Be like cat."
