The Silent Miaow.

I decided to take a break from reading to make myself some deliciousness (chicken and mashed potatoes!--out of a bag and a box respectively, but who cares, it's still cookin'). While waiting for the oven to preheat, I decided to diddle around on the intarwebz. Something made me think of this nugget from my youth:

The Silent Miaow

As I've mentioned before, I've always been a gigantic nerd when it comes to learning about animals, and I'm destined to be the Cat Lady Supreme. My mom had this book (this edition and everything), and I happened to love it. It's a handbook by a cat for a cat on how to deal with humans--and it's hilarious. My memory is fuzzy, but I do remember the last resort advice for how to get your way: "Sometimes you must sit at your human's feet, paws tucked under, and make a smell." I'm pretty sure "make a smell" is the funniest, most appropriate way to say "pass gas." Ever.

Sadly, this book appears to be out of print now, but Amazon seems to have a number of used copies for dirt cheap. I'm gonna have to dig through my mom's books and see if I can find this one.

Aaaand back to my laziness.
