Tell you how it’s done…TGIF. In that spirit, some Friday Cat Blogging. Maybe I’m a bit too easily amused, but look at him cleaning. He sits like people! Video from my Treo. Should play in RealPlayer or Quicktime. My friends Lauren and Cameron are in Pakistan currently shooting a documentary. Check out their blog and [...]
