There's just something about my roommate's mattress that screams "kitty bed."
I had to haul a fat fluffy orange and white cat who had managed to climb up the loft to stand triumphantly among her pillows and blankets.
"No! Bad idea!"
The cat meowed and hissed and tried grabbing onto the curtains to prevent being dragged back down to carpet level. I dropped her off at the front of my door, but left it open. Now the cat is sitting on the couch on top of one of my roommate's blankets, idly pawing at it.
This cat does not belong to me or my roommate. She actually belongs to someone at a different house, but the feline has taken to wandering here (perhaps to eat the other cats' food). I like cats (and wish that I might own one someday) but having a cat around is just not feasible. I'm not home most of the time and I believe cats deserve more attention than that. Maybe I should just get an aquarium and a plump gerbil.
Also, this cat is not the only cat who prefers my roommate's mattress. I've had to throw several other cats out before they made themselves at home. Hm. She must be putting on some mysterious cat pheromone or catnip perfume before she goes to sleep.
A link: Treasure Planet trailer. Yes, it's a Disney film--supposedly coming out just before Thanksgiving of this year on IMAX. There's some pretty cool sci-fi scenes. And even though James Newton Howard may be doing the music to this film, the music in the trailer is from John Williams' score to Far and Away. (Don't even think about trying to argue with a soundtrack fanatic.)
