Here’s a photo that will make some of us wince.

My cat has never clawed a phonograph. I'm really not sure she knows what to do with her claws. She's like Bon-Ami Cleanser, "Hasn't Scratched Yet".

Part of our family has been viewing this string with a combination of boredom and growing alarm. Finally, they have asked me to use my opposable thumbs, which they lack, to post a response.

Someone is bound to add this sooner or later, so I might as well do it:

Some nice furry friends you folks got. I might get a new one tomorrow if things work out. I have two cats, a black one who’s 13 years old and she’s never scratched a machine.

But this ornery 3 year old on the other hand...

O.K., here's mine;

Here's my cat getting curious.

We used to have a cat when I was young, at parents' home. When I got independent, though, I never had an animal, due to my errant life. Until I got married, when we had birds. My children always were pleading for a dog, but we never had a heart to take one, seemed kind of difficult thing living in a flat, and being all day out at work. I always say to them that I'll have a dog when I retire, if I manage to move to a country cottage, and when I can carry the dog with me all day to every place I go... or that my dog friend can live in a comfortable big space to move around.. My wife doesn't like pets, though... So... Who knows. Maybe I've done wrong... But...!

Our cat hasn’t gotten too close to any external horns but she has checked out the VTLA.

Meet my new friend Chloe!
