Like millions of other people, I recently saw the movie Avatar. My favorite part? I loved how the Navi could bond with the animals so closely that the two practically became one. They bonded physically and mentally.

I’ve written before on this site about how close I am with Thurston – my neurotic, OCD, tubby, but extremely loving and adorable tabby cat. I’ve mentioned how he likes to rest his head on my face when he thinks I’m asleep, to sit on my lap while I drink coffee, and to generally snuggle up and get extremely, extremely close.

Thurston (who in the past has licked all the fur off his belly) seems to have developed a case of feline acne (aka “catne“) on his chin – he’s going to the vet this weekend to get it checked out. In the meantime, guess what’s happened to me? I am breaking out on MY chin in sympathy with Thurston. Sigh. Hopefully this will clear up soon, for both of us!

According to NJ.com, Newark Liberty International Airport recently experienced delays because “a skittish kitty lodged itself under a bomb-detection machine.”

“A woman and her young daughter had the brown-and-black cat in a carrier but when they removed it so the container could go through the X-ray machine, the freaked-out feline ran under the CTX explosive-detection device, Port Authority officials said.” The cat, who weighed 25 pounds, eluded officials’ initial attempts to lure the feline out. Eventually, they managed to lift the heavy machine and get the cat out with a “combination of the snare and a ‘hydraulic spreader’ to lift an end of the bomb-detection machine.”
