Yes. The cats played basketball. I saw it with my own eyes. Well, one cat anyway. He made a slamdunk! I’ll write about it all when I have more time. Or maybe enough has been said on the subject.
So, I’m feeling way better. My body is feeling better, and my heart is feeling better. Just about 100% now. I don’t know why I got so low, there. Just every once in a while I fall down so hard. I start to feel that all of my friends are drifting away, and the world is scary and sad. Especially post-hurricanes and earthquakes and governmental mismanagement- none of which is really new, or surprising, but still it’s awful. I like to (maybe naiively) believe that humanity is incrementally moving towards Goodness, or at least Betterness. When I’m down I suspect we’re not moving at all, or maybe backward. Maybe I should join a church. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Or an ethical society. It would be nice to have a community in which to talk about Civilization’s Moral Progress, if there is such a thing. (Though “moral” has a lot of Republican connotations. But you know what I mean.)
In any case, I was awfully sad there, for a while. My sweet friends took care of me though. I got nice phone calls and emails and even a trip to the Home and Garden Show where the Friskee’s Cats did tricks on a weird stage. Thank you, friends. Despite my fears about the fate of humanity in general, all of the actual humans that I am close to are really, really Good. And so I have hope again. Thanks.

hey there cheered up girl-welcome back sunny side up! I understand that the smelly baggage associated with the words ‘morality’ & ‘moral’ often is avoided by using instead ‘ethics’ and ‘ethical.’ [sadly, avoiding a big stinky rotting pile of fetid crap,though by far the most pleasant way of dealing with it, isn’t really dealing with it at all.] here’s to staying upwind.
Tease! You MUST write about the basketball playing cats!
It was so amazing. Four on four -FULL COURT- cats playing basketball! Each one wore a replica jersey of the player they were trained to emulate (Jordan, Bryd, Kobe, Shaq, Rodman, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Gary Payton). So the Jordan cat does these amazing “slam dunks” and then Rodman gets the rebounds… MAN! It was the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
Also, this description is almost entirely a lie.
I like the lie. All those who went should conspire to create the grand cat basketball blog fantasy! :)
i wish i could have seen those damn cats. i’m jealous!
I’m sorry you were feeling so low. Maybe it was all the girl on girl on girl withdrawl. I got that, too
I still love you Willow, and I haven’t talked to you for ages.
