Just posted -- the Kittysneezes Election Wrapup. Yay, we're back to pop culture topics! http://ping.fm/4ZDqK
Do you like stories about twins? About Scotland? Then you might like THE SCOTCH TWINS (1919) by Lucy Fitch Perkins. It made me clap my hands with excited anticipation many times. I can't explain why very well... I knew what twists were coming but it was told so well I felt like I was a fly on the wall the whole time. You know what's coming, but you aren't quite sure that's exactly what IS going to happen....
There are other books in the TWINS series, but this great little easy read was an immense delight.
Here's a sample from the Gutenberg E-text:
"At the very moment when Jock and Tam came flying over the fence and down the hill like a cyclone after the rabbit, Angus was kneeling beside the brook to get a drink. His lips were pursed up and he was bending over almost to the surface of the water, when something dashed past him, and an instant later something else struck him like a thunderbolt from behind, and drove him headforemost into the brook! It wasn't Tam that did it. It was Jock! Of course, it was an accident, but Angus thought he had done it on purpose, and he was probably the most surprised as well as the angriest man in Scotland at that moment. He lifted his head out of the brook and glared at Jock as fiercely as he could with little rills of water pouring from his hair and nose, and trickling in streams down his neck.
"I'll make you smart for this, you young blatherskite," he roared at Jock, who stood before him frozen with horror. "I'll teach you where you belong! You were running after that rabbit, and your dog is yelping down a hole after her this minute!" He was such a funny sight as he knelt there, dripping and scolding, that, scared as he was, Jock could not help laughing. More than ever enraged, Angus made a sudden lunge forward and seized Jock by the ear."
I posted about Flea Treats awhile back, let me update you on my experience.
The best thing I can tell you about the FLEA TREAT method of flea control is that:
1. You have to be PATIENT and CONSISTENT.
2. It took 4-6 weeks for it to have the desired effect on my cats. However, they were infested with fleas. I thought it wasn't working and even called the company to inquire WTF? I spoke to the owner and he encouraged me to be patient and consistent. I stuck with it and found it really does work IF you are patient and consistent. I've had success with 2 indoor/outdoor cats for more than one year on this program of 2 treats a day.
2-1/2. You MUST give it to your pet EVERY DAY and at the same time of day if you expect it to be effective.
3. I only have 2 problems with Flea Treats, and they're really only in my head.
3A. My biggest problem with them is the size. I feel like I have to cut them in half to make them more bite sized. It's not like they're so big the cat'd choke on it or anything, but they are hard treats not soft treats and my cats seem to prefer the bite-size it so I do it. I had a pill cutter from forever ago, but they are only like a buck at the drugstore.
Let me preface number 3B with: You do not have to put it in their food. You can give it to them as a plain treat, but like I said above they're hard treats not soft. My cats have only ever eaten soft treats so they are not at all interested, but they eat crunchy food so in the dish it goes and they eat it like any other food morsel.
3B. My other problem is I have two cats that eat together and I now have to watch them eat and make sure they ate the treats - because if they don't eat their treats and walk away the other cat'll come over and eat out of the other's dish thereby getting the other cat's dose. If you only have one cat, no problem.
4. It's more than cost-effective.
5. Funny thing... my cats KNEW what the Advantage/Frontline package looked like, and when they'd see it they'd [expletive deleted] RUN from me. I kid you not.
My one cat had his fur burnt off and skin made raw from one of those insecticides. That's how I discovered FLEA TREATS. It broke my heart to know I was putting something that evil on my cats, so I searched the internet with terms like natural and chemical-free and found Flea Treats.
Anyway, I literally had to chase them down, hold them down and force it onto them. I felt like I was honestly physically abusing them. I am not exaggerating for effect - I felt like I was actually harming them. And I had physical proof with his fur gone and skin broken open, red and raw. How could I conscientiously not at least TRY this thing called FLEA TREATS? I had nothing to lose but the cost of return postage to send the bottle back for a refund.
What would you rather? A poisonous toxic chemical solution poured on your skin OR a tasty * liver flavored B vitamin treat to eat?
*Ok, I don't really know if it's tasty, but they eat it so
I guess it is. It's gotta taste better than [company redacted] 's Napalm in the Morning.

If you could only drink one beverage for the rest of your life (not including water), which one would you choose?
Cantaloupe Juice!!
This is the best photo representation I could find of how delicious cantaloupe juice is, but a picture is NOT always worth 1000 words.
You can't possibly know what you're missing...
