Not an expert or anywhere close, but as a cat, I'd prefer rain water to tap water. I can smell chlorine in tap water.
Our water is lovely. The cats will still drink out of vases, pot plants, puddles, the toilet...

But yeah, sorry, I forgot for a moment that this topic was on "the list".
Sorry, I was trying to be light-hearted, but I can see it might not come across that way. Wasn't trying to dig at you.

The problem is when its omnipresence smothers other aspects of life.
"Attention all passengers. We are now entering "the mere existence of Battlestar Galactica prevents people being involved in politics". We may experience some intellectual snobbery and righteous indignation from people who feel their intelligence has been slighted. Please take the necessary precautions."

Nah, just eating you would be too easy and not painful enough.
Frankly, it what appears to be deliberate bastardliness that I like about cats. I once watched Jeeves go outside, tread in the mud puddle where the hose leaked, then come inside and paw-paint all over the bathroom. Then he went and washed his paws by splashing in the other cat's water bowl.

Should I seek it out, or would it destroy my soul?
Soul. Well, I dunno, what's your tolerance for seeing another woman told she must have been sexually abused? Probably by her father? Because you can count the number of times she does it before you want to slap her weird, eye-rolling face.
More on topic, caught my cat in the bathroom sink last night, licking the taps. Also he keeps trying to drink the water in the vase with the flowers Megan gave me, and I'm pretty sure that magic crystal stuff is bad for you.

She is transparently, extraordinarily self-aggrandising, and a complete and utter nutbar.
Did you see her interview the dominatrix on her chat show? Jay-sus.

I'm talking about free to air TV. Old time TV.
The Wire was free to air here. As long as you could find it. We get a bunch of HBO stuff free to air here - The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men - so in those terms we're actually better off here than in the States.
I find the 'it's crap so I don't watch it' argument a bit strange. If you don't watch TV, how do you know it's crap?

Because, for a cat, squinting ones eyes and looking away is a sign of pleasure or contentment
Wait a minute, so when my cat gives me 'that look' he's actually happy?

Oh m'darling. I was going to email you today to tell you how sorry I was, because the pub just didn't seem to be an appropriate venue. (Also, please tell me either you or Jen left behind a blue knitted scarf, because otherwise Megan and I have accidentally stolen one.)
Did you have the body of this pre-written, or was it part of getting through the shock, the unreality when the news first came?
Also, yours is a handsome family. I have learned that this is the appropriate thing to say, and not "Your grandmother is a hottie."

Isn't that exactly how Dickens and others wrote novels in serialised chunks? Bookiefolk, help me out.
There is a difference between 'author hasn't written it out yet, but has a pretty good idea what happens', and 'author has no fucking clue either'.
