It must be a deadline!

All the humans are working like crazy this week! Heather and Craig have their noses to the grindstone (ok, really to the computer) desperately trying to get work done before tomorrow night.

Scruffy and I have tried to play and chase them around but only Heather has been willing to take short (sanity) breaks to play with us. I sure don't envy them! It's days like this I'm glad I'm a kitty. What a life, eh?

No bull - get a kitty!

OK, I am not sure I understand human behavior. Who would ever think of having a bull as a pet? Can a bull fetch your newspaper and slippers? (Not that I do that, mind you, but I have been known to steal slippers.) Can you take a bull out for a hike or a long run? Is a bull snuggly? No, no and no.

Please folks, do not try this at home. Skip the bull and get a kitty. Or (gasp) even a dog.

(This guy seems to be as unsnuggly as you can get as far as pets are concerned.)

Coroner: Eastern Pa. man killed by pet bull
An eastern Pennsylvania man was attacked and killed by a "temperamental" pet bull a day before his 53rd birthday, the coroner's office said Monday.

The property owners had encouraged Weinhold to get rid of the bull, Straka said. She said the same animal believed responsible for the weekend attack rammed Weinhold last summer, breaking several of his ribs.

Weinhold kept about 10 head of cattle at the farm, all of them as pets. Straka said it's not clear what precipitated Saturday's attack. The bull recently fathered a calf, but Straka said bulls are not as protective of their offspring as cows.

No one witnessed the attack. All of Weinhold's injuries appear to have been inflicted by a bull's head and hooves.
