My new owner seems to have settled in nicely. She no longer hides when she sleeps and she is much calmer, although I suspect she will always be a little skittish. She reminds me of Foo Foo in that way. It has been a while since I had a cat running up and down the hallway.
Catness has proven to be both spoiled and a fussy eater. We’re still working out the menu options. When she wants more she meows and head-butts her food dish. If she doesn’t like what I put in it she will walk away.
She is not really a “lap-cat”. She prefers to curl up on my chest which makes it kinda hard to type. She is apparently unfamiliar with the concept of a scratching post. She prefers to use whatever rug she is standing on instead.
What is happening in your life? This is an open thread.
The Crawdad Hole 
She isn’t a lap sitter yet. As for the rugs, I hope you aren’t terribly attached to them.
I found a puppy today. Little girl wandering the street as sweet as can be.
Good for you.mcnorman
And thank you myiq. I was hoping for an update on Catness. 🙂
Why he be all up in yo face when they ain’t no mo lections fo him to win? You know, homey be blacker than Shaft!
1. IRS testimony yesterday linked Tea Party targeting directly to WH
2. Detroit filed bankruptcy
3. We still don’t know where Obama was during Benghazi
etc, etc.
for #2 — Detroit asked the WH to help them and Obama said NO (i.e., gave them the Romney treatment).

oh yeah… dere be all dat….. But as Touré say “We Really Do Has a Black Prezint”!
http://weaselzippers.us/2013/07/19/msnbc-race-baiter-toure-on-obamas-trayvon-remarks-wow-we-really-do-have-a-black-president/
What Toure actually means is “We really DO has a White African American Prezint”. Someone needs to set this guy straight.
It’s official, he wants a race war. And black people were not obliging him quickly enough after the verdict, so here he comes and invites them to see Trayvon as himself, their precious fucking teddy bear. Let’s see what effect it has on the “nationwide protests” Sharpton has scheduled for tomorrow. He’s apparently coming to Indy to head the march here. I’ll be staying away from downtown tomorrow, as I have all week (it’s been my favorite place to workout before this week), and keeping my doors locked.
Time to buy that paintball equipment….
Trayvon Martin has died for Obama’s Sins.
Oh yes he wants a race war. 😦
Condensed version:
My Monty didn’t like verticle scratching posts either Buy here one of these (at link). It goes right on the ground. Monty loved it.

Here is a cheaper version — Monty loved this kind too, but the cardboard makes kind of a mess & once it gets to a certain point of “scratched out”, you have to buy cardboard refills for it. But cats usually like options.

I’m in moderation ^^ — free me!
Quit being so radical.
I’ll have to get one of those for Son. Maybe he’ll lay off my bed throw.
Good find.
You’re welcome! Always happy to help a kitty get his scratch on! 🙂
Can a state judge do this?
Um, I’ve never heard of that. Bankruptcy is 100% federal law governed by the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11). State courts don’t have jurisdiction. ‘
Do you have a link to the story?
That’s what I thought but I wanted to check with you cuz you’re the expert. I took 1 elective semester on BK but that’s it.
28 USC § 1334 gives Federal Bankruptcy courts original & exclusive jurisdiction:
Maybe that judge is giving a writ of mandamus to the city officials who filed ordering them to withdraw the petitions from the BK court? And maybe they *will* follow her “order” & withdraw, but the bankruptcy court isn’t (actually, I should say “shouldn’t” because the world isn’t making sense right now, so what the fuck do I know) going to dismiss the filings based on that order.
That’s ^^ my best guess as to what is going on here from reading the story because I’ve learned from years of experience the MSM *never* reports legal matters accurately.
That’s what I was thinking but if that’s legal it would be a sneaky way to circumvent federal law.
When I was working family law the BK court took precedence. Division of the community estate had to wait until the BK was resolved.
Yes, BK court should take precedence *and* any issues should be being resolved *in* BK court.
The MSM rarely reports anything accurately.
Remember that the White House threw out bankruptcy law by ignoring preferred stock owners for unions pension funds during the auto bailout.
She literally said that.
Oh, if only the Tsar knew!
WTF?
A real judge said that?
What a fucking idiot.
Not only a fucking idiot, but here is an actual example of why we have Federal preemption (remember that fucking idiot “social engineer”/attorney for Martin family on Greta who misused “federal preemption?”) Yeah — MI constitution canNOT strip away any person’s “right” to relief under the bankruptcy code — if the MI constitution does, in fact, conflict with the city of Detroit’s right to file for relief under Ch. 11, the FEDERAL LAW PREEMPTS the state law.
😆
BTW — the federal bankruptcy judge may rule that the pensions are excluded from/cannot be part of the bankruptcy (it’s possible; I’m not going to read all the shit I’d have to read re: how those pensions are set up, etc to come to that determination but I *do* know that when United Airlines filed bankruptcy a while back their employee pensions where subject to the bankruptcy) but that determination has to be made by a federal judge, not this dimwit.
Detroit could take care of their financial problems by selling gun permits for $1000. It would also eliminate for some of the need for police overtime.
What’s going on in my world? I have the day off. In-laws I are in town – Obots – but the Mrs took them to the Bush Presidential library. I stayed home and just woke up from my nap (I’ve been there already).
My usual routine is to always check out what’s happening here – even though I rarely post – I drive by and read.
Loving living in Dallas !! Watching every SF Giants game !
I want to visit Dallas so I can walk around Dealy Plaza.
Is that Texas School Book Suppository still there?
Two of my boys use the Bergan Turbo Scratcher; the other one scratches my socks. Only one of them scratches the carpet.
My cats all love the turbo scratcher. They also like the cardboard one that is sloped. One version is called Alpine.
My mother’s kitty is still using my doorframe. Mama spoiled her little princess. I have been trying to refocus her efforts.
The doorframe … LOL!
Beautiful. You will have artwork long after she’s gone. JK
Both Ellie and the cat love this.
I’ll be back in a little bit. The widow next door is gonna give me $20 to trim her bush.
Are you going to give it a Brazilian?
It was really overgrown. I nearly wore out my electric trimmer. I should have used a machete. I don’t think that bush had ever been trimmed before.
When I read your comments earlier I was at a restaurant and literally laughed out loud…….REALLY laughed. My family wanted to disown me.
Even us old widows must keep the bush trimmed. 😆

this fool really is pushing for race riots
What if your car doors automatically lock when the key is inserted? Is my car racist?
is black or white?
Is it racist to keep checking your tire pressure?

backtrack’s racist rant
http://weaselzippers.us/2013/07/19/al-sharpton-praises-obamas-trayvon-martin-remarks/
why is this not a surprise?
sharpton praises backtrack’s remarks
shall we alll start singing
“they’re two of a kind”
Yep, they are two peas in a pod.

what are the odds that backtrack ever really met anyone like trayvon martin?
About the same as those for meeting someone like the star witness Rachel?
In fairness, though, at least backtrack might be partially qualified to be professionally black. He’s been looking for almost six years to find something he’s qualified to do, so from that perspective the timing on this couldn’t be better for his sense of self-worth and ego.

well it is Friday the day that the news is dumped hoping no one will notice
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/07/19/Cnn-On-Obama-Trayvon-Statement-Wow-Stunning-Important
CNN like a sleepover of justin beiber fans
Does Obama realize that the people who follow him are his Secret Service agents?
love that comment
http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Obama-s-Inadequacies-on-Race
good article
Greg Gutfeld made a very good, tongue-in-cheek comment this evening on The Five….give Detroit to our 11 million immigrants and let them see if they can make it work. While I realize he was being sarcastic, it’s not far from a good idea….something like homesteading, take over all of the dilapidated and condemned properties and give them away to whoever is willing to fix them up.
Big programmatic problem though since everyone in Detroit is on the dole, the lam or the hook.
I don’t know…what do you all think should happen with Detroit?
Burn it down and sow salt around the foundations.
Dig a horseshoe canal around it connecting at both ends to the Detroit River, call it “Canada” and turn it over to the Windsor, Ontario council to run. Lowest homicide rate in Canada, most successful city government. Dust off hands.
New thread up!
I love the Catness update!
