Well, don’t that beat all! A baby squirrel falls out of its nest, the people put it in the box with the kittens, and the little fellow fits right in. The mommy cat treats it just like one of her kittens, loves it, feeds it, grooms it–and the baby squirrel has learned to purr.
God’s stuff not only works. It works better than we can imagine.

Here’s something I never knew about cats: some of them freak out at the sight of a cucumber.
Huh? What gives? Why should a cucumber, just lying on the floor, startle a cat?
We’ll never know.
I have deleted the video of the kitten in the tubful of water. Some of you thought it wasn’t nice. Having watched it again, I yield to your judgment.
Here, instead, are lazy cats who have found ways to drink water without troubling themselves to get up. Sounds like some people I know.
Don’t worry–it’s not about cats lying, running for public office and then betraying the cats who voted for them. Cats will never learn to imitate the finer points of fallen humanity.
But they can imitate certain things they see us do. My cat Henry used to try to horn in when I was playing Strat-O-Matic Baseball; but his idea of the game was to flip the little plastic men to the floor and bat them under the bookcase, and I couldn’t have that. You should have heard the back-talk he’d give me.
Anyway, let’s unwind. Join me in enjoying these cats.
You would think a lot could go wrong with that combination, but cats seem to hit it off with babies. Both may be smarter than they’re given credit for.
Once again we turn to our cats for a dose of sanity.
This red cat in the sink reminds me of our cat, Buster–who once managed to turn a pair of my wife’s panties into a kind of toga, and then posted himself in the living room window for everyone to see.
I must admit he never balanced a Q-tip on his nose, though.
First thing tomorrow morning, I get to go to the doctor for my blood pressure. I am terrified that they’ll find all sorts of things wrong with me that I never knew were there. “I say, old boy, did you know you’ve got a rather nasty thing going on inside your duodenum?”
Yesterday I almost popped a gasket when it seemed Medicare was going to confiscate the money for my aunt’s pre-paid funeral. Hint: Put the money in an irrevocable trust where they can’t get it. My aunt had wisely done so, as we found out after a time.
Please pray I get spared evil tidings tomorrow.
Now back to the kittens.
I hope you won’t mind if I indulge in another cat video. I have my reasons.
My cats do this all the time, trying to squeeze into tiny spaces.
Reminds me of the time I crawled inside a cement mixer. But I was only a wee lad then. I know better know.
Who says cats don’t care? Who says they forget you?
Get a load of this one cat whose daddy has come home after a tour of military duty. Gee, if your country thought as much of you as your cat does, there’d be a lot of happy soldiers.
My cats, Robbie and Peep, were most impressed by the audio portion of this video.
Usually our little friends are too clever to get caught doing something really naughty, like opening a drawer to take something out of it which we’ll never see again–not in one piece, at any rate.
Observe the guilty look on this cat’s face. It says it all.
