Cat Triptych of the Day

And no, that doesn’t mean there will be a new one every day – I have better things to do with my time than continuously refer to my dictionary for the proper spelling of “triptych”.

I’m not sure what this first guy is doing, I can only assume that this is his impression of Lindsay Lohan’s career. Of course, I’m not sure if this is a toilet or a bidet but as implying that Lilo’s career is in the bidet doesn’t make any sense, I will assume that this is indeed a shiny porcelain waste receptacle.

Now this one at first seems to be sweet and harmless. A cute ginger cat nuzzling up to a cute little girl. Now what on earth could possibly be wrong with that? Well, I’ll tell you what’s wrong with that! Our little moppet is clearly wearing a “little red hood,” which suggests to me that this is not at all a harmless kitty, but rather a certain famously devious wolf using a tactic far more effective than dressing up as some deranged senior citizen. If I recall the story correctly this is bad news – at least for the cat, who now faces an uncertain future.

This last one is pretty much self-explanatory – this is a cat boiling up a pot of tea. We can safely assume that it is poison tea, partly because that’s the only kind that cats ever make, and partly because my sources tell me that this particular cat is expecting a visit from an insurance salesman.

 

 

The Ghost Cat of Okinawa.

This spectral creature, seen here in a photo taken by Professor Hiroshi Hondo of Tokyo University during a family picnic, was first made famous in the west by the Lafcadio Hearn story “The Cat That Ate My Hat,” wherein a humble American journalist residing in Okinawa is precipitated into financial ruin by bad gambling advice from a local hat blocker.

In the story, Hearn describes this creature as being the angry spirit of a cat who was always well treated in life, but who spent so much time sleeping that he never had the opportunity to write the great Japanese novel.

Embittered by his literary failure the cat now roams the island of Okinawa searching for would-be literati to harass. In 1956 the cat sneered at Yukio Mishima “Osawa hano garatimasu, egawa karatusu!” which translates roughly as “You’ll never win the Nobel, you bastard, so why don’t you just end it all?” or at least this is what Mishima claimed in his suicide note.

Pitcher Gets Intimate with Furry Fan.

So that’s what these guys do in between innings, they jerk off squirrels! It’s a novel way of tackling an attacker, and one that thankfully i have never seen the likes of Steven Seagal use.

You have to say one thing for the pitcher though – at least he had a towel handy…
