“The Big Pink House. Famous for its lil’ jungle cats. The supreme apex hunters. Though fierce and determined, they don’t have the size to seize prey from larger People. They must act together if they hope to snatch a meal of tuna sandwich. They do not hunt alone. They know there is strength in numbers. And here there are not just three but four lil’ jungle cats. If they change their tactics they can take their prey by surprise. If they fail, they risk not getting any tuna. But if they get it right, the rewards can be huge.
One lil’ jungle cat acts as a hissing decoy, drawing the Man’s attention away. Suddenly two of the others strike! A quick and deadly swat and suddenly it’s all over. Except, it isn’t. Just as the lil’ jungle cats are about to feast on their meal the top Person in the Big Pink House appears. And it looks as if She’s Angry. Quickly the lil’ jungle cats scatter before the no-no spray bottle is deployed. They will have to placate Her with head boops and purrs, waiting for another opportunity for tuna." David Cattenborough
O.T.I have a pvc cat tree that has little plastic round beds. The beds have lightweight pads that are easy for the cats to remove if they want. I’ve been missing one of the pads for about a month now. There are three beds, the cats only use one and it was getting loose so yesterday I decided to tighten the bolts. After getting on the stepstool and removing the pad I discovered a comic book they had taken from the bookshelf. Under that was the missing pad. Under the missing pad were two more books! Why? Why on earth? Might it be a princess and the pea situation?
Thanksgiving 1985. Ms Sassafrass leaps up and pulls a drumstick out of my cousin’s hand and scrambles out to the porch. Cousin’s screams drowned out by everyone’s laughter. All the kittehs ate well that day.
One thing I don’t get: Goldie adopted the “man” as her human, just as Elvis did with the “Woman” and “The Girl”. So why is she being so mean to him?
Five of our seven cats have made it quite clear that I am their human. They don’t fight over it but share instead. They may politely ask for me to share some food with them, depending on if it’s good for them the get a taste of course, but they’d never treat me like the BCN crew are treating their humans – even for tuna fish, or salmon or lobster.
I blame the man. He did willfully, knowing he lived in a house with four cats and two kids, make a conscious decision to eat a tuna fish sandwich in a room with carpet. He should have stayed in the kitchen. Preferably over the sink. An acceptable alternative would have been if he’d locked himself in the bathroom to eat. It’s all his fault, making bad choices.

Lupinium: Anyone up for a game of tuna croquet?
Elvis-Anum: How would someone play a game where you hit wooden balls with a mallet on a grass field using tuna?
Lupinium: I don’t know, but Thomios said he has some leftover tuna and he’s making croquet.
Elvis-Anum: And he’s wasting perfectly good tuna by having us hit it on the field?
Enter Puckmosis, with lunch plate
Puckmosis: Anyone up for a game of croquet after lunch?
Lupinium: What are we having?
Puckmosis: Thomios is making fried tuna cakes from leftover tuna.
Elvis-Anum:Thomios means tuna croquettes, you goof!

We’d better scatter every which way!
…….
Don’t go around tonight
Better stay out of sight
The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!
…….
I hear angry words a-coming!
I know the spray is coming soon
I fear bottles over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin!
…….
Don’t go around tonight
Better stay out of sight
The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!
…….
Hope you enjoyed that bit of tuna,
Hope you are prepared to be wet,
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
The Woman is gonna get us yet!

Better stay out of sight
The Woman’s wrath is on the rise!

Well, tuna comes right out of the carpet, right? Even the smell?
So it’s . . . not that big a deal?
Um, maybe everybody should . . . disappear . . . for a while.

It’s time to call it a day
You’ve made a pretty big mess
And now must scatter away
It’s time to turn the sandwich-grab page
Just make your mind up the Woman will rage
The party’s over
Your snatchin’ prospects are dim
You swatted and schemed with delight
It seemed to be right just bugging him
Now you must dash off, all dreams must end
Take off and hole up, the party’s over
It’s all over, my friends
