"And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are… One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." - Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses

Little girl teaching her cats how to draw a flower

Heh, she’s speaking Portuguese! Here’s what she’s saying:

*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”

Luis Roberto and Jurandir are people names (Jurandir is especially a name associated with older men) so it’s extra funny that the cats are named that, heh.

i need to hire someone who can speak to cats to explain to Shams and Noor that they are supposed to be predators. I'm trying to introduce toys that emulate prey (with sound/smell of course so they can track it) so I can get them to play hunt but they're just like. *pats toy lightly with paws* 'hmmm interesting. i dig. a friend perhaps?' and i'm like nooooooo it's your prey you're supposed to chase it! i try to look it up on youtube but all videos are for if the cats are *disinterested* in play but they're very interested! just in a very polite manner lol like i'm introducing stuffed toys for them to cuddle with

i was kidding at first with the oblivion guard quote but, the fish is battery operated to flop around and when i turned it off to charge the battery they were both IMMEDIATELY concerned that it stopped moving. when i turned it back on they were like, oh thank god. it doesn't even entice them to chase it. it just makes them feel better to know it's alive and kicking apparently??? shjdgsjdhd they care about this fake fish so much what the fuck

me: violence? care for some violence sir?

shams & noor: hmm... what is this

me: a fish! a prey! to bite and kill! to chomp! to-

shams and noor: to... to have and to hold? to love and cherish? a friend in time of need? a cuddle partner to brave the cold nights? a trusted comrade? and someday... if the fates are kind... something more, perhaps?

me: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!

professor: you are failing this course

the rat living in my shoulder bag who i spent time training instead of doing the course work: *pops head out and plays sad wah wah wah wah noise on trombone*

I groom one of these guys every week and he’s quite possibly the love of my life. We play a game called “brush, brush, kiss” because as long as I say “brushbrushbrushbrushbrush” he’ll stand nicely, but the second he gets impatient or I need a break I say “KISS” and he explodes into a ball of joy and kisses my entire face and anywhere else he can reach. It’s the best part of my week sometimes!

Well this is the best possible comment on any photo ever.
