I was walking down the street earlier today in Brooklyn when I saw signs for a missing cat. Since I always stop and read missing cat signs (even though they make me upset), I learned that my favorite local store cat is missing (which then made me extra-upset). If you live in the Cobble Hill area, please be on the lookout for Beastly Bite’s Liberty – usually she’s found napping in the store window on Court Street, or hanging around in the store and climbing on customers. She’s really friendly, and all black. If you see her, call 718-522-5133. I snapped this pic with my camera phone but I’ll try to get a better one later.

The other day, Thurston and I were taking a cat-nap together when the husband woke us up (normally a somewhat dangerous undertaking) so that we wouldn’t miss the Science of Cats television show airing on the National Geographic channel. We were glad we were woken up – I learned new cat facts (the cat is only animal that domesticated itself!) and Thurston seemed especially interested in all the meowing coming from the television. So if you happen to see this airing again (or can record it), I suggest you watch it with your feline friend – perhaps with some popcorn, if your cat is like mine.
