You know that guy who hangs suspended from the ceiling by hooks pierced through his epidermis?

June 23rd, 2002

You know that guy who hangs suspended from the ceiling by hooks pierced
through his epidermis? Well, if you take that mental picture, turn it
upside down so the ceiling is hanging from the man, and instead of a
ceiling you picture a tiny cat, well, you’d have a pretty accurate idea
of what’s going on here, right now. (How is she able to do this? With
impossibly-sharp kitten claws. See Exhibit A; Exhibit B.)

Emmaline’s also got this peculiar habit of playing soccer with
individual kibble units (kibble atoms? particles? kibblons?
kibbloids?). Of course, she can’t take just one out of
her dish and play with it; she has to scoop a whole pawful out onto the
kitchen floor and watch them scatter. (See Exhibit C).

All is forgiven, however, thanks to Exhibit D.
