I am so MEAN to my cats!

This evening, as I was preparing our dinner, I took two glass bowls out of the cupboard and then went to the pantry for a bottle of fry sauce I bought ages ago. When I can back to the kitchen, there was Noel, meowing for canned food.

At first I thought she was doing it for two reasons:
1. because she does it every day when we are in the kitchen
2. because I took two bowls out from the cupboard we keep their special canned food bowls.

Then the penny dropped -- I had really played a dirty trick on her without even knowing it. Not only had I got those bowls out, I also went into the pantry -- exactly the routine I do when we feed the girls canned food twice a week. Man, she was just meowing up a storm and looking so pitiful; "Where's the canned food? I am starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Poor Noel -- and Sadie, who she suckered into believing there was canned food coming. Pita was smart, she stayed in her perch -- she's much more cautious than the rest of them and doesn't like to look stupid.

An Idiot Abroad

OMG! If you haven't caught "An Idiot Abroad" on the Science channel yet, you are missing out! This show is hilarious. An average guy -- Karl Pilkington -- is set in foreign countries by Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant, with some wickedly strange adventures, is terrific! Karl is just like what most of us watching the show are like -- a guy who just doesn't get why people would do or make or eat or sleep the way they do but still gets something out of the adventure. As the series as progressed, he seems to be more comfortable seeing odd things but there still is that "yeeugh" feeling from him. Check it out on Saturdays on the Science Channel.
