Talking of which, we’re all, you know, like fish swimming blindly into the net. Or something. I didn’t sleep too good last night.

When I was a kid, we had a tropical fish tank. Our cat preferred to drink water out of it in preference to her own water dish. We figure she probably lapped up a few of the smaller fishies on occasion.

MLS, you do remember that in an MPSIMS-thread, you can’t mention your cat doing something cute, like lapping up fishes, without posting a picture, right?

That’s just _verboten._

I just had to move our cat’s litterbox. I hope he remembers where it is now.

Remember walking in the sand, anyone?

Anyone?

Guess not.

**Governor Quinn** do you advocate people walking in their cats’ litter boxes. That’s just so unsanitary. Like not washing your hands after goin’ to the bathroom. That’s just nasty.
