>>Love me, Love my cat, dammit. I love your cat immensely. I am imagining Blue in the crosshairs of my finest "tomato stake". My finger brushes the trigger - gently, oh so gently - in breathless anticipation. I center the 'hairs on his sleek rippling shoulder as he stalks some hapless furry whatsis. My nose begins to tickle; I sneeze. I follow through, then return my eye to the rubber-cupped ocular. Half the cat is still there. Oh well, like they always say: half a cat is better than none. I work the bolt, attentively remove the warm empty casing, set it into the loading block by my left elbow. A new round, a jacketed hollowpoint glistening with chrome-gray lube, is selected from its ranked brethren and slides neatly into the chamber. I remember my breathing discipline and reacquire the partial pet. Windage, elevation, hand-wrist-shoulder - ah yes that's good... Oh I was so very fond of him. I am much more ambivalent about you. I raise the piece off its leather forend bag and remove the bolt. A bore brush is produced... I will cede my place to the giant wasp looking at you with thirty-six thousand glints of PURE DEVOTION in its eyes.

...Love me, Love my cat, dammit... I do, I do! Says she, holding a purring, furry, kneading ball on her lap while she tries to use her keyboard. I had an allergic person here on Friday for dinner, and I had to put poor Pewter into my bedroom for the evening. He was shocked, and spent a lot of time scratching at the door, wanting to join the party. My poor guest kept sneezing and blowing her nose anyway because the house is so infused with Pewter fur and dander. I just have trouble when the heat goes on - like now because the weather has turned cold. Over on Minsub they are talking about tossing cats into boiling water, skinning them, and leaving them still alive. I kid you not...
