old world assassins

i think the media may be trying to tell us something: be afraid. be very afraid...of cats. kasey has a post up about a cat that's the harbinger of death. and today, i read this story about a cat taking on a bear. it seems a black bear strolled into a new jersey yard. the family cat chased it up a tree, twice! the bear was able to escape when the cat's owner called it into the house. finally, here's a look @ the history of the domestication of cats.

and our cat, well she's not scaring anyone.

here she is, looking dapper with a collar and tie


here she is, doing her best to look fierce
