That would be War Nurse' era. My voice isn't smooth enough to sing that. I'm more ZZ Top. :)

I had to Google those names. This is more my style, though I couldn't sing it either. I just like to imagine I'm this smooth.

My has a cat after years without one. During the strict lockdown, and while his partner was on the mainland, he announced that he was getting a dog asap. She said nope, she was shipping her 8yo family cat to Hawaii. And that was that. But she made a fatal mistake: Bella arrived 2 days before she did. The very vocal cat shuns her. You know the drill. She turns her back and flicks her tail and then jumps in son's lap. She devoted herself to successfully ordering my son around and making the GF pay for her transgression.

GF doesn't work from home, so obviously Bella spends the days expressing her feelings and demands, jumping on son's lap during zoom meetings, napping on his laptop, and demanding tummy rubs. Now son refers to his cat and posts pictures of her on facebook. Here's a picture of her keeping an eye on her new servant.

I found out over the weekend that Gigi likes PB&J sammiches. She knows what they are, and she doesn't stop until she gets her some. Holding one in her presence without sharing is almost dangerous. Wow. I have never had a cat that liked PB&J.

Are pb&j sandwiches one of your favourite foodstuffs? I suspect that Gigi has come to this conclusion and knows that if she can get you to share, there’s nothing off-limits. :thumbup:

I was leaving my niece’s wedding with my sister and brother-in-law when Uptown Funk came on. We all started walking, bopping our heads to the music. Next thing we were on the dance floor with the bride and groom and my entire family dancing. :lol: We stayed another half hour dancing.

It's a staple lunch especially if I'm busy, but she came into our short relationship with this knowledge. She knew exactly what it was and literally crawled up my pants and shirt to get to it. My left side has the claw marks to prove it. I was the human fence pole, the prize was at the top, and an incessant happy meow was her battle cry the entire ascent. She's usually demure and understated. PB&J pushes her buttons big time.

Gigi's PBJ Ascent needs to be videoed for our viewing pleasure.

Hobokitty loves him some pepperoni...

When ever I get done eating some [yes I eat slices right out of the bag] and he smells it on my hands, he proceeds to grab said hand with all four paws [and claws] and gnaws on my fingers getting the life giving pepperoni grease...

I end up having to give him a few pieces...

Sounds like something in a cat religion.

We have had cats in the past that had the same reaction to butter beans, dill pickles and popcorn. They would take an arm off for a bite of those delicacies.

I had a cat who would kill for Flamin' Hot Cheetos. He'd also insist on licking every last speck of Cheeto dust off my fingers.

We had a black cat, Bagheera, who loved olive juice. If I was eating black or green olives he would come over and get his nose right next to them and sniff. He wouldn't eat the olives, he just licked the juice. He could also find catnip no matter how old it was or where it was stashed. He became an indoor cat after he got two abscesses in one month and cost me $1200 in vet bills. The vet called him a repeat offender when I brought him in to treat the second abscess, just three weeks after the first one. He had to have stitches and wore the cone of shame for a while. But he transitioned nicely into an indoor life and lived until he was almost 17. We had to say goodbye when he got accelerated renal failure. :brokenheart:
