More distance, better aim - yeah, that's the ticket!<br /> Howdy, Glenda! Man, I can’t wait for next year’s SOBCon! I’m bringin’ a whole bag of nerf balls for Karen!

Probably because even after having been domesticated for thousands of years now, they're still something of a mystery to most people. Glad you liked the story! @Stephen - Yeah, it seems like cats are the current most popular topic at the moment.

Until recently we've traveled far too much to keep a pet. But I've had a few more than I've written about here. Let's see... Our first cat was named <i>Catsur</i>, which my Dad told me means "cat" in Czech. Who knows? Then there was <i>Solo</i>, named after Napoleon Solo, who if you don't remember was played by Robert Vaughn in <i>The Man From Uncle</i> (my sister named that one). Then there was <i>WhiteCat</i>, followed by <i>Oscar & Ernie</i> (brothers from the same litter), and after Mrs. MZM and I got married, we've also had <i>Cookie 1</i> and <i>Cookie 2.</i> You know, after all this time, lemme share with you every thing I know about cats: <i>nothin'!</i> :-) @Robyn - Actually, we no longer have cats around our place.

What a delightful story about your deaf cat. I've never owned a deaf pet but I can definitely imagine what you have to go through to get the cat's attention. What a funny story. You bet - get their attention. What a marvelous point. Seems that cats are fast gaining an audience in the blogging world these days. We have a few people out there including Corinne Edwards, myself, you and others talking about cats and how we can learn from them. What a hoot! Robert:
