Yes, but who let the dog out?

My cat just crawled completely into a shopping bag that was sitting on the bed. The bag has drawstrings, so it isn't inconceivable that it will get tangled up, which would require human intervention for her to escape. At which point, of course, it will be time to let the cat out of the bag.

There's something about my pets conspiring to create real-life clichés that makes me wonder whether I'm being surreptiously filmed for a reality TV show. I will have to wait until my dog progresses from middle age to being officially old before I will be able to test the "new tricks" hypothesis.

How would you test for when it’s “raining cats and dogs”?

Test? You don’t test, you just wait around for it!

But not long… it has actually happened! Remember, the ORIGINAL saying was about cats and dogs reigning. Is there anyone who doesn’t think they rule the household?

I wouldn’t be worried until Paris Hilton comes and offers to be Moveable Type’s intern.

If he is sleeping, do you let him lie?

And if she’s gotten your tongue, that is blog-worthy.

Maybe your cat’s taking a catnap. Or maybe she’s a bag lady. And maybe i need some sleep.

As that recent movie trailer suggested, we pick up their poop, so they must be in charge.
