I searched "cat flop" and got a number of hits, including this explanation - [link]
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Agreed -- it's a cat thing.
giving the misleading impression that she wants you to pet her stomach(Not. Recommended.)
Depends on the cat. Coco does something similar to the flop, and he goes into attack mode if you pet his stomach (but petting his chest is okay.) On the other hand, Seamus's reaction to "tummy rub" is closer to "I'll give you 24 hours to stop that."

Oh, definitely. With Xusa it's a bad idea.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That cat flop site is interesting. I had been googling "cat lying down" etc. Just wanted to make sure kk is ok. I hate coming in on him lying like that and having to make sure he's still breathing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm screening the 1994 congressional hearings on tobacco and I feel dirty just listening to these guys lie through their teeth.
(Though it is interesting/sickening hearing how the arguments that were made against nicotine addiction by tobacco CEOs are the exact ones now being made against global warming by oil company execs. Congress: Every respectable scientific body in the world says you're full of crap. Care to comment? CEO: But I have paid this person with a PhD to agree with me! Your so-called scientific consensus means nothing!)

I've always enjoyed the "trundle-butt" of cats who want to express their affection but don't want to be petted. We had an old cat would spend quite a while butting you with her head then doing a slow circle away from you and back to butt you with her head again. If you tried to pet her she hurried away, but she'd always trundle up to nudge you again.
And no, she wasn't trying to get you to move out of her favorite spot.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
How do they make money?
It's not a real store. It's an 826 store, like the pirate store in San Francisco. The store is just a retail front for the creative writing workshop. I checked it out when I was in L.A. last Christmas. It's cute.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We seem to be losing it in my office today. My coworker was drawing a face on her hand, Senor Wences-style, which for some reason led me to draw a mustache on my finger. At least it's not a tattoo.

Jesse, are you lurking in Bitches, or is that a total coincidence?
