Mr. Tig is a sloppy drunk.

When I got him home from the vet after being snipped, for the next 24 hours, Tig simply would not leave me alone. He napped, and woke, and napped, but every time he woke, he had to climb in my lap, sit on my shoulder sleep in my lap, or cuddle with me in some way. It got extremely annoying, as I do have to work during the day, and I really don’t have time for a slightly woozy cat to tell me how much he adores me and then pass out. (He reminded me of some guys I used to know back in the day. But he’s much cuter.)

And for all the gentlemen out there cringing at the thought of Tig being snipped, I found out that you should be cringing. They remove ‘em completely. One little slit in the skin and pop, pop, Tig’s singing soprano in the choir. (Aren’t you glad that castratos went out of fashion centuries ago?) ((I think I’m getting that Hulk-M-S. I’m enjoying tormenting you far too much.)

Well, anyway. Tig is a sweet little boy, and I think he’s going to maintain that sweetness now that I’ve had the vet cut off the well of testosterone, or at least, most of it. And Tig is absolutely none the worse for wear. He barely noticed they were gone.

And now, for the palate cleanser: I couldn’t decide between these two photos. So you get them both. (They were taken Thursday, after Le Snip.)

Tig the Smug

See? Nothing’s changed.

Yeah, pull the other leg:

Iran says it has increased the range of its warplanes, allowing them to fly as far as Israel and back without refueling.

State TV is quoting air force chief Gen. Ahmad Mighani as saying Iranian warplanes can now fly 3,000 kilometers (1,865 miles) without refueling. He didn’t specify the aircraft type or explain how the range was extended.

Okay, you can’t count magic carpets, and you certainly can’t count the flying horse of Mohammed that supposedly got him to Jerusalem (which, at the time, held no mosque, but why quibble?).

And no djinn, either.

So what do you suppose the Iranians have done to their aging fleet of F-14 Tomcats and Soviet-supplied aircraft, hm?

I’m thinking nothing. This is just bluster. And why would the Iranians want Israel to think that Iranian airplanes could reach Israel without refueling? Hell, even the AP can figure it out:

Sunday’s report did not refer to Israel by name, but Mighani’s remarks come after an Israeli air exercise in June that US officials described as a possible rehearsal for a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Too bad Iran doesn’t really have the capacity. I think we’d see a repeat of the last dogfight with Syria: 100 downed Syrian jets to zero Israeli jets downed by Syria.

When you think that cheap and revolting propaganda cannot get any cheaper and more revolting, here come PETA puppets - a pitiful result of accidental cross-breeding between STD and Ebola - with a new idea. Read about it here. See it below:

I almost wish to send the Greyhound man a set of kitchen knives and the PETA membership list.

Don’t you?

Time for an emergency EATAPETA day.
