We’ve always had both cats and (a) dog at the same time and luckily there have never been any issues they couldn’t overcome when getting along. Patience and understanding, giving both of them their space when in the beginning goes a long way. Now they are good friends and share beds together.
It seems the cat thinking a lot when it having its meal.

I love the facial expression on the vaccine-giving cat’s face!

I’ve known nurses with that expression. But Gertrude and Alice….
My case is totally opposite. I am a complete dog person because I think they are more attached, loyal to us, and relatively easy to manage. Cats are completely unknown territory to me.

And that the problem. Dogs seem to do as they are told. Cats never do. But we are lucky to have the gifts they both bring us.
How wonderful to see another notification of a new blogpost from you. An entertaining and informative read…as ever…especially suited to time Sunday on the sofa. I did not know about Wodehouse but of course, as you well pointed out, we still have the real traitors and exploiters in their prime and covert positions over here. Point the finger loudly so no one points it at you. Plus ca change…..
Re previous posts … its more than the jumper that rings a bell??? I love the cats, any cat…. they certainly are “the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the flying’s squad’s despair” etc….
Keep em coming
Wodehouse was undoubtedly a silly ass and most certainly a Tory but unlike many Tories not intentionally treacherous. And his books can be quite funny. A bit like eating cream buns. Each one much the same after the first one and soon you can’t take any more, for a while.
I look forward to a future post decrying the fact you have so many of these pulpish volumes that you don’t know what to do with them, before going on to reveal a paradox. The fact that dogs mostly don’t know what to do with cats whereas cats know what to do with dogs — ignore them, spit at them, scratch them, or give them that look — tells me all I need to know about you… 😁
Hmm- funny you should say that. I’ve just been doctoring more of the pulp covers with cat pics. And books can create moral dilemmas. Crates of Psychic Book Club volumes from the 1950s for example. One hates to destroy any book … but really. And as for cats and dogs… Well, dogs can be trained to do what they are told. Cats not so much, thereby proving once and for all the superiority of the feline intelligence.
I especially loved the lurid comic. My late sister and I used to buy True Romance comics on the sly and share them. They weren’t this racy, but in 1960 they were racy enough.
They are all quite ridiculous. But have entertainment value as period pieces and I guess they served their purpose for their time. whatever that purpose was. A piece of social history. I wrote about how I got them here https://www.josieholford.com/pulp-fiction-surprise/ and now I don’t know what to do with them.
I see you included one of your favourite books from the ‘Great Works in the English Language’ section of your library….
Yes. I actually have a whole bag of them in the basement! I wrote about how I got them here: https://www.josieholford.com/pulp-fiction-surprise/
You all look so serious! 🤣 Too serious!

Nothing to be done about that. Cats do take themselves very seriously.
The cat eating its dinner looks very serious about its food, or something…and vaguely familiar…..
It’s the jumper.
