Swear to god, it's like living amongst raccoons. Except unlike Edie Beale, I don't find raccoons and cats one bit boring.
Happy Thanksgiving, for real. Last year, I wrote a cloying post about all the things I'm thankful for and you the reader/this blog was high on that list. The gratitude has only deepened.
oh my word. am i a huge loser for finding that video actually kind of moving?? i started out giggling...then it turned into belly laughs...and then i was laughing so hard i started to cry...and before long i was just full on weeping. i think i need therapy.

OMG... this is just like living with my dogs. They hover right in my face when I'm eating or they do the next best thing. they lay all their heads in my lap and stare at me with their puppy dog eyes. My boyfriend finds it annoying. I find it cute.

rudy's answer as to whether he's eating the plant is hilarious and sounds vaguely like a jr high kid mumbling "i don't know" to a principal.

Was that Winston and a piece of . . . celery? Both disturbing and fascinating all at once. I'm so happy now.

Until now, my favorite Winston moment was him as the "hundred year old troll." Now Winston and celery. Oh my god. It was like watching a lamprey eat a squid or something. Teeth everywhere. Fantastic. Must watch again,

Long time reader; first time comment-er.
I love how you cherish and respect your felines. While I could say that the clip made me laugh and was silly and so much fun to watch (it was), I seriously want to wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving and to thank you for loving your felines the way you do. Cheers!

Wait. It was Cats. Thank you, Rich.

Happy Thanksgiving! Just keep an eye on the turkey!

Har!
One of my (6) cats slapped a piece of chicken out of my hand last night and gobbled it up before I could move.
Winston needs one of these:

And I am thankful for all the laughter Winston, Rudy, and you have given me.
I loved the curry stain on Winston's chin!
I think I am a better person for loving cats, and accepting all of their "whims". You have, though, are the Uber Better Person because, well, look at them! Those two kittys are the best!
Thanks!

This was AWESOME! I love how Winston just pushes Rudy out of the dish. Greedy much? Anyway, I hope you & yours have a fantastic holiday. I am thankful for your ANTM recaps!

How long until they turn on you?
Posted by: Tommy | November 21, 2007 at 11:18 AM
OMG I Love RUDY!!
It was awesome how you stared down Winston when you were eating that pudding(?)...I'm going to assume it was pudding, it makes it funnier.
If all cat videos were like this, I'd watch them exclusively.

Hmm...I like you

I am thankful for you and Fresh faithfully blogging and keeping it entertaining. Trust me, I work in the mortgage business and I need all the laughs and distractions I can get.
Happy Thanksgiving!

That made me LOL all over, even while being trampled over by my own hairy little beasts! Luv your work, don't stop!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweetie!! We love you and thank you for all the joy you give us throughout the year!
Oh, and you too, Rich.

Thoughts:
Once dated a guy whose family had rare Himalayan cats that would only drink running water out of the faucets and once dragged a WHOLE chicken off the counter and mauled it to death.
No construction paper Pilgrim hats or inappropriate Indian headdresses on them?! Shame Rich! I expected better!
You and your man are still hot. Keep on keeping on.
The celery scene scared me a little. I work at an animal shelter and once got an infected cat bite from a cat that looked like Winston. It jumped out and bit my ankle. What cat goes for the fucking ANKLE and sinks teeth in?!
When the words Thanksgiving Feast came up and I saw wild-eyed Winston with the banana I was expecting thrash metal to start playing in the background. Music to pig out and mosh to!
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all you do.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
My house is going to be so lonely this year. I'd like to invite Rudy. But not Winston because he's greedy.
Ahhh who am I kidding?
