Well, the debate on chocolate rages on. Some of you are with me, some of you are against me. There are one or two abstentionists. (I think I may have just made up a word.)
While we all think of Chocolate, our cat FHJones (see Sofa King below) is thinking of fish. This evening, he started groveling while I deveined the shrimp I planned to grill. He continued as I prepared the walleye pike.
After dinner (I had washed my hands several times, mind you) he "loved on me" as they say here in Kentucky. And I filmed him doing it with a tiny digital camcorder that we found at Jo Ann's house.
If you're interested in watching 2 minutes and 13 seconds of kitty love, here's the video.
Oops. Is he looking a wee bit chubbsy-ubbsy?

It's like kitty crack.

It looks like there's some mutual love going on there.

Alison, get some fresh/plant some catnip, rub a fresh leaf all over the cats' toys and watch the fun. This really is kitty crack! My JaJa actually drools all over little mouse when I do this. With 3 you should have loads more fun watching. Be sure to video the antics for us.

Oh, cats! They're so shallow. Then again, how lovely our own lives would be if food alone made us so happy!

when washing your hands, rub them against something that is stainless steel (we have a stainless steel egg for this) and it will get rid of the smell. works for fish, garlic, anything foul...

The concept of too much chocolate is a lot like Bigfoot to me: possible, but unlikely and not easy to belive.

Oh I LOVE kitty love. This made me feel all warm and fuzzy! Especially the part where he bumps up against the camera!

Myra,
Mr. Jones doesn't like the nip! We've tried.
Jeorg,
I have a little stainless steel "soap" that I keep at the sink. I didn't think about using it after the fish!

He looks exactly like my kitty I had to leave behind, makes its hard for me to watch him. Lovely little creature. I love that you can hear him purring too.
Fish heads fish heads... :whistles:

Aw, think I might get some catnip toys for Free Cat, might leave the fish experiment though...
Chocolate update from me - we've just discovered Ben & Jerry's chocolate therapy. I think it might be illegal. I think I might be back with chocolate.

Why would you ever use a stainless steel egg and miss out on that kind of love?

I abstain for personal reasons so add me to the short list.

What is this "walleye pike" thing? This is a new confusion for me since I've been in the Excited States.
Where I come from there's Walleye or PICKEREL, and there's Northern Pike. Two quite different fish. So what's this Walleye Pike thing? A cross between the two? :lol:
You are a cat-teaser. :wink:

My son had a t-shirt that read Sofa King which was definitely against the school dress code but because nobody ever said it aloud, he wore it all year long and enjoyed his victory over the high school censor. The truth is that I did too.

phew. by the description of it i was imagining a video of a cat masturbating. i was afraid to watch, but i did. it still feels weird.
