Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world -- "No, YOU move."

I never thought of it before the tabby of the house moved in, but she gets exactly the same curl in her lip when she's mildly irritated with me.

When looking out the window at birds that just land on the pool deck, the lips kinda flutter with a slight clucking sound, can't be any funnier to watch! Anyones guess what he may be thinking
Monterrey does that when she is after a house fly. By the way, house flys must taste like rainbows and ice cream to a cat, because she loves them. Every once in a while I'll see her hold one in her mouth for awhile, let it go, chase, and then catch it again only to sit there and taste it for awhile. This will go on until the fly can't operate normally, then it is consumed.

Could be the 'chase'...just the challenge of catching it.

She's getting old now, but in her prime she could do some unbelievable feats.

I wouldn't mind hearing about some of them. I know that mine is in his prime at a little over 2yrs old and constantly pushing the envelope. He always seems to out do himself so I never second guess him!

She came from the Richmond, VA pound in 2000, where I was living at the time. I came back home to Salem that Christmas, and brought her to stay at my parents house. My old room was in the attic, she had the run of the place for the week or so I was in town. The first day there were two mice on the stairs leading up, then next day three, and over the week she had quite the collection, maybe a dozen or so.
We had never seen signs of mice, and haven't since, but she was slaying them left and right the whole time.
She's been chubby since she was around three, but I guess cats don't have to actually look like they are in shape to do amazing things, (unlike us).
I saw her go from laying in a chair fast asleep, without a running start, to a vault off the back of that chair, six feet in the air completely to the end of the hallway about 10 feet, only to turn around and prance back like nothing had happened. Crazy cat. Now she is usually just sunning herself or sleeping, doing her best to avoid Banshee; good ol' girl.
She will sit like this and watch me, while I watch TV; for hours.
