She'll burrow in there, push out the pillow, and just hang out for fun, but she's also the most un-cat-like cat I've ever met. I'm not sure how a regular cat would respond to that.<br /><br />This isn't one of those 'life hacks', is it?<br /><br />PRO TIP: when not in use, you can store your cat comfortably in a pillow case!A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-64073146980111665722017-10-16T17:40:22.137-07:002017-10-16T17:40:22.137-07:00Jeanne: Well, it wasn't so bad.

I've been trying for a while, but they just keep coming back down.<br /><br />Speaking of cats, we did learn in all of this that pillow cases work well as makeshift cat carriers. Not from doing it or anything, thankfully.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-13418873893046765262017-10-16T13:12:15.128-07:002017-10-16T13:12:15.128-07:00That is fucking scary.

All of my important writing is backed up to the cloud, so my 'go bag' would just be a large burlap sack, comically filled to the brim with (probably fighting) cats and dogs.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-44762703781560865282017-10-16T08:48:10.831-07:002017-10-16T08:48:10.831-07:00That's interesting.

I don't even have photo albums that are precious to me. I suppose that's a lack of having a family (or something like that). If I were to put together a "to go" bag, it would mostly just be clothes and maybe the current book I'm reading so that I'd have some entertainment when the power is out.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
