None of our cats drinks water the same way. Simon prefers to drink from the toilet. Max likes to drink from the sink — and from the faucet, if it’s running. Nemo drinks from the “kitty fountain” we bought for the spoiled brats. So does Toto, but apparently she doesn’t know how to do it …
Children of the seventies, I ask you: What could be better? Queen, muppets, HD. Just in time for Thanksgiving: After this, nothing really matters to me…
True to my word, I’m here to bring you another story of animal intelligence. Lisa sent me a story of animal semi-intelligence yesterday, but this one’s more what I have in mind when I think of the subject.

Here, a young woman has placed her digital video camera on the conveyer to let it make its 7-1/2 minute trip through the restaurant.
