    Like Muhammad, Benjamin then went and purchased a universal remote rather than wake his cat.

    My mom has DirectTV too, those remotes have the worst ergonomics. I can only think the primary design principle is to discourage changing channels.

    Fell asleep watching Animal Planet.  So sleepeh….

    Of course, this is what poor kitties must resort to, now that they can no longer sit on top of the tv (see illustration): http://www.mobile-apps-news.com/the-problem-with-flat-screen-tvs-comic

    Looks like my Guruji.  Found the little guy on the street, less than a month old, missing an eye and crying.
    Three years later, he’s been healthy, happy and the friendliest little fella for a long time, gets along beautifully with his three adopted feline siblings, two brothers and one sister.  He’s intrigued but still wary of his little humanoid brother, though, who chases him while squealing “Cobija!  Cobijita!” (“Blanket!  Little blanket!”).

    BTW, Guruji.  Guru = teacher, ji = the diminutive.  Guruji = My little teacher, term of respect and affection in Hindu.

    Oh, what the hell, it’s Caturday… here he is with his sister, my beloved 13-year-old Bebita, my avatar.
