Sure but see this from the point of view of the cat.  Wouldn't it be wicked
cool?  The other cats would watch their step around you, ja?  None of them
would give you any feline lip, so long as you had that big canine henchdog.

New subject please: unibee

Forgive me for being such a repetive bugwatcher.  Lat spring I went on and
on about seeing so many dying bees.  To the observant bee watcher, this year
is startling indeed.  Usually by the ides of March, my back yard is an
obscenely extravagant display of colorful blossoms.  When at their peak
(usually about now) I can sit next to my house and easily hear the
collective buzz of hundreds of bees from the flowering vines on my back
fence, eagerly devouring that abundant pollen like a bunch of wild...um,
bees.

Today is a perfect bee day, clear skies, no wind, 25C.  There is exactly one
bee.  A busy, happy one for sure, all those blossoms and no competition, but
still: one single lonely bee.

Damn.
