Living bellows

There's nothing quite like the sensation of holding your cat out before you, hands grasped around their mid-section, as their flanks heave in and out while they regurgitate slick yellowed streaks of matted fur. Fortunately I heard her in time to do it and was able to simply tip her out over the garden, letting her yuck fall into the still verdant green of our weed-scaped lawn.

By the way, I am using my Beloved, my Toshiba tablet to blog this. Only instead of using the touch screen I am using the rolly polly red rubber keyboard theWife bought me a while back. Hooray! It takes some getting used to, you have to strike the keys a bit more directly and there's two small space-bars instead of a single fatty, but it's still way better than the touch screen.

So ... tablet blessed people ... do you find the sensation of the finger tip on the touch screen after a while to be a little unpleasant? For me it feels like when you've used a lot of sticky tape and your finger tips feel like the top layer of skin has been pockmarked and/or now has dots of tacky on them.

Still ... beats how it used to be. Laptops are now passé!

UPDATE: It happened again. Same cat. Same disgusting feeling of holding her heaving flanks. Yucky!
