As the owner of a very busy young cat, I fully appreciate your story and that picture!

Add this to the list of things we can learn from our cats: Never get too attached to any object!

You are so right, Mel. Kids, too. And dogs (who will eat anything and everything in their way.) We mustn’t forget about the dogs and kids. (Sorry, paranoia. Cat haters don’t need more ammo.)

Ouch. But interesting that it took Murray this long to do it. My cat finds flowers within a day of their arrival in this house and by the end of 2 days, there are no survivors.

Oh, believe me, whenever flowers enter our home now, we have to lock them in another room, which is hard because we live in a railroad apt. The top of the TV used to work, but he figured out a way to get his fat butt up there. This is probably why TJ hasn’t gotten me flowers since Murray “grew up”. There’s really no where to store them. Plus, the lilies, if eaten, are poisonous and Murray eats everything.

FYI – and I only know this because of my angst-ridden teenage breakups many years ago – dried roses smell AMAZING when on fire, like floral honey. I don’t know how you would do that SAFELY (perhaps in a barrel in your future backyard?), but there you go. :)

I wish it were possible to favorite comments on here, because Debbie? You made me laugh out loud.

I threw out an entire trash bag full of old wine and champagne bottle corks the day of our move. Years and years worth. In the end, when the moving truck had departed and we were desperately trying to cram the rest of our stuff into the car (leaving room for ourselves and the cats), they just didn’t matter anymore. I had plans to make them into corkboards or trivets or something cool like that, but we just left them on the curb, and I’m okay with the fact that we did.

Oh, holy crap! Other collections I need to part with.

I have been saving movie stubs for YEARS. I stopped recently (Well, not sure if i stopped saving them or stopped going to movies since we’re with child now) but yeah, I used to save them. I could tell you who i was with and where I saw each film. Weird.

I know they are somewhere around here. I’ll probably find them whenever we move. I continue to keep them because they take up such little space.

Although, right midway through writing this, I got the sinking suspicion I already did toss them out whenever we moved here from San Fran. hmmmmmm
