Neko Funjatta

The name of this delightful toy is taken from an old kids’ tune, and the Japanese title means, roughly, “I stepped on the cat.” There are all kinds of versions of the song on YouTube, some exceedingly cute, including cartoons! If you just wanna learn how to sing the song and don’t care about aesthetics, try this one. That melody is maddening! No wonder Japanese kids grow up to be insane adults who make a livelihood from manufacturing disturbing novelties.

Anyway, I’m glad my kitty stays indoors. Children can be very cruel.

oh no! i started letting duane (gray cat #2) outside again cos he’s terrorizing all the “special needs” cats and also attempted to pee on me.
please don’t let this happen to him. on another note, i wrote a poem:

DUANE THINKS I’M SKINNY
DUANE IS A CAT
DUANE IS CROSS-EYED
I GUESS I’M FAT
