Catsitting, Episode 2: Attack of the Cats

Okay, I was off in my last post. It wasn't an Oct. 2005 expiry date, it was Oct. 2006. That's freaky on many levels - i) How can something last that long and still be considered "best" (as in best before) even once opened, and ii) If I thought it was Oct. 2005, why didn't I throw it out instead of leaving it in the fridge for me to discover my mistake? I think I might go through the fridge and clear out the expired stuff.

The cats seem to fall to the floor, lying on their backs, whenever I come near them. I take this to mean that they want to be petted, not that I have some sort of overpowering stench about me...

Having been here now for over a week, I can make the following conclusions:
1) Having laundry in-house rocks. No more laundromats for me.
2) The ambient music channel on Rogers Cable also rocks. I turn that on, sit down and do some work - it's great.
3) Snow tires on a car are a good thing.
4) I can never own pets. Too much maintenance, having to come home, feed them, and...well, that's about it, but what can I say, I'm a low-maintenance kinda guy.
