Good idea: Remembering to worm the cat tonight as per our vet’s instructions. Bad idea: Thinking this could be easily accomplished.Bad idea #2: Getting the syringe-with-goo stuff instead of the tablet.Bad idea #3: “Okay Snookums, you wrap her up in a towel and hold her still while I squirt it in her mouth.” As you…

“Donnie Darko”Here’s what you should never do when you’re at home by yourself, sick, on a rainy Monday afternoon: watch that Donnie Darko movie everybody’s always raving about. Good grief.

Amy pointed me to this hilarious list of cat quotes. Some of them struck me as particularly applicable for life with Dr. Amy Jones: Anything not nailed down is a cat toy. Everything else is a scratching post. A cat is always on the wrong side of the door. I don’t mind a cat in…
