Cat Loves Electric Toothbrush

I honestly can’t think of a real cat doing this.  I could be wrong, though.

  1. Silly cat. That’s hilarious. I’d be tempted to try this myself, but I’m afraid that every time I brushed my teeth, from then on, she would be expecting to take a turn with my toothbrush, herself.

    2. She expects to be part of everything I do. When I eat my breakfast, she wants to inspect the plate I used, and reserves the right to lick the plate. Likewise, all edibles must submit a sample for her review, analysis and approval or disapproval. All travel, outside the home, requires feline approval, and if this policy is violated, I’ll catch heck as soon as I get home. 🙂

    8. It must be working. All I ever see of mountain lions are their tracks and Jaguars never come right into the neighborhood. Tigers, Lions and Leopards avoid the continent, all because of her. 🙂

    12. I’ve heard that in some dictionaries, if you look up “irritating” it says “see Alan Alda”. In some ways, I get it. Alda was using some Groucho references and sort of acting out that character, when he was in his comical moments, then, like throwing a switch, he’d go into this maudlin persona that oozed compassion, but came across a bit over the top. From what I understand, the first seasons of the show were more comedic, but over the years, Alda had a greater hand in every aspect of the show and it took on a more serious tone, and that definitely changed my view of the show.

      With every situation comedy, the premise suffers over time and becomes shopworn. The Beverly Hillbillies was hilarious in the earliest seasons because the premise of backwoods people living as millionaires in Beverly Hills provided a lot of comedic opportunity, but by the last few seasons, the humor seemed a bit forced. We had all become accustomed to the idea of the premise and the characters could only see the newfangled gadgets of modern society for the first time, once. After they learned what a fridge of washing machine was, the potential for humor is used up. (Although, I’ll have to say, that in the world of modern devices, almost everyone ends up feeling like a Beverly-Hillbilly.)

      But with MASH, yeah, it was about a terrible war (which is all but forgotten in our day) and that played into the sentiment against the Vietnam war, which was still ongoing when the series started. Alda was the epitome of a “sensitive male lead”, which was a very popular characterization in the ‘70s. The market seemed to want sensitive, non-threatening male actors. Look at the movies of the time, with brooding, sensitive male leads. It was, as I like to express it, a “thang”, back then. But that thang has not held up well, over time.
