A bathtub. A rubber ball. A Balinese.
Courtesy of a friend in Oz, who bred the cat in the tub. So cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IADCSVkR6Gc -- "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane."-Martin Luther King, Jr. |

After listening, I have to wonder how many people talk to their cat with their normal talking voice pitch? I don't! Maybe I'm weird. Ok, scratch that. I'm weird despite how I talk to animals. |

The bottom of the tub being curved makes the ball roll all over the place. And the jets make it look (and act) like a pinball machine. Ding! Buzz!

In fact, I don't think talking to animals in silly voices is at all weird. I don't think I know anyone who *doesn't* do this. I certainly do. And you should hear my sister.

Mostly I talked to Rusty (RB) in my normal voice. But sometimes I did talk to him in a different pitch. Winnie |

And you should hear my sister. I use my normal voice, but I do use baby language. But I've always talked to kids in my normal voice, too, because I remember how I despised grownups who used a stupid high-pitched voice to me when I was a kid. :P Well, it makes more sense to talk normally to kids, because they feel patronized when people talk down to them. I don't think cats are going to interpret things in quite the same ways. But I don't exactly talk baby talk to my cats. I just use weird voices and certain phrases repetitively, which I wouldn't do with people, such as saying to Licky, several times a day in a mock-formal voice, "You're a very HANDSOME feline individual." He seems to like this. I think he knows that "handsome" is an endearment, because he gives me the slow blink whenever I say it. Or maybe he's just vain.

How many ways can you parse this one: "Drive to feed needy snowballs". Joyce -- The heck with top and bottom -- I want relationships with strangeness and charm. |
