One Cat’s Zoomies

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

Careful research has unearthed the origin of the term “cat zoomies.” The phenomenon was first described by Hoichi Katzumi in 1883: as in “That’s some cat zoomy.” He later ran unsuccessfully for the presidency of the Greater Tokyo Catnip Club.

  1. Wasn’t much of a zoomie.

    Nevertheless, I did notice the paint on the wall. Just a tip. When painting a wall, if you can’t finish that day, never stop in the middle of the wall, always stop at the corner. Or when you begin again, and finish where you left off, you will probably be able to see the place, after it drys.

    Lyrics:
    Well, it’s a, oh Noah
    Oh oh Noah, Oh oh Noah
    God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide
    (Well it’s a), Oh oh Noah
    Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), Oh Noah
    God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide
    Brother Noah, my God’s talking (God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide)
    Say you’ll ride on the wind and tide
    Hey children stop, be still, and listen to me
    God walked down to the rowdy sea
    He declared that evil had descended to man
    And then he decided to destroy the land
    He spoke to Noah and Noah stopped
    He said “Noah, I want you to build me an ark”
    I want you to build it 3 cubits long
    I want you to build it big and strong
    I want it 30 high and 50 wide
    So it will withstand the wind and tide,
    Oh oh Noah
    Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), Oh Noah
    God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide
    (Well it’s a), Oh oh Noah
    Oh oh Noah (Oh ho), Oh Noah
    God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide
    (God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide)
    (God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide)
    (God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide)
    Brother Noah
    Brother Noah, my God’s talking (God’s gonna ride on the wind and tide)
    Say you’ll ride on the wind and tide
    Well after the foundation was laid
    Then Noah began to hew and build
    The ringing of the hammer cried judgment
    The hewing of the saw cried sin and repent
    A hundred years he hammered and sawed
    Building the ark by the grace of God
    When the ark was done God’s voice was heard
    He said, “Now, Noah let me tell you what to do.”
    “Call in the animals 2 by 2.”
    So he called them in the ark 2 by 2
    He called the bird, the oxford, the kangaroo
    Then he called in Japheth, and Ham, and Shem
    Then God began to flood the land
    He raised his hands to heaven on high
    Shook the stars and they moved from the sky
    Shook the mountains, he troubled the sea
    Hitched the wind, his chariot decree
    He stepped on land and stood on the shore
    And declared that time there wouldn’t be no more,
    Oh Noah, Oh oh Noah
    Oh oh Noah
    God’s gonna ride on the wind & tide

  3. Nice cat tree – and I’m glad to see that it’s in front of a window so the cat can look out from several different levels.
