Gotta Love It
The crew at Wikipedia have already added the Obama reaction to the Reverend Wright to its article on Sister Souljah moment. They are certainly timely.

probably they need to get real lives.
Nah, that would be borrrrrrring.
ok, lives and cats.
They probably have cats – doesn’t everyone?
Tch, tch Bryan! You should know better m8! People do NOT have cats! Cats have People! LOL 😉
Everyone who has ever thought they owned a cat has come to the shocking realization that the cat owns them. 😉 Right? LOL
But I still like cats. 😀 Like I have a choice… LOL
Keep it down. Not all cats know that, and they read the blog.
i thought all the ones with cats were over at ichc.
i have cats, not the other way around, though it could be argued that i have cats the way a dog has fleas. this is certainly curmudgeon cat’s view of the rest of horde.
as for reading blogs, three of them are supervising as i type this. it was going to be four, but that one miisjudged a leap onto the table and fell off into the dog food bowl, precipitating a minor dog- and cat-fit.
Normally I have a cat on the back of the chair looking over my shoulder, which is better than laying across my wrists.
Sox doesn’t misjudge the jumps, just his ability to stop after jumping. He jumps up to the table and slides across to fall off the other side – too much lateral vector and too much mass. Koshka was the artist at jumping, achieving zero acceleration when she reached her goal, which allowed her to jump up and sit on the top of open doors.
Here’s a site of a serious kat luver! 😉 LOL Got some pretty cool pics of their kitties and kat’s!

Enjoy! 😀
Forest cats are probably involved in the American Maine Coon breed which are featured at Plush Life on the right sidebar. They are wonderfully adapted to living outdoors in the snow.
this one actually would have recovered, as her planned trajectory was a touch-n-go on the table edge, with continuing [blind] flight over the tabletop. what she hadn’t taken the time to scope out before this maneuver was that there were already 4 cats sprawled out asleep on the table.
one of our family cats used to do sox’ trick, but on purpose. mad dash across the living room [carpeted, good traction], leap onto the coffee table, slide across the highly polished surface and off the other side, scattering magazines and candy dishes, and himself, onto the floor. his favorite variation on that was to dash across the living room, launch himself onto the kitchen rug, and slide across the linoleum. it was especially fun if he could get up enough momemtum to crash into the breakfast table and chairs at the other end of the kitchen.
curmudgeon cat is the only one who drapes himself across my arms while i’m typing.
I can see how 4 cats in your landing zone would create a problem.
Koshka would sucker Sox into the kitchen slide as she could make the turn, while Sox’s inertia generally carried him into the ‘frig as he backpeddled madly.
poor sox.
Not everycat can be a sports star.
