Tubolard’s Cat

So Rush thinks that cats and women are useless objects only good for patronization. He’d better pet and play with that cat of his before his senility advances so far he that is gibbering.

It may already be too late.

I read an article last week which advised the owners of older cats to play with them and keep them amused with [for example] fishing-rod type toys in order to prevent Altzimer’s disease. It helps both the cat and the owner to avoid galloping dementia, if I recall correctly.

The article also said that petting a cat tended to lower owners’ blood pressure. So even Rush’s pampered pet may providing him with immeasurable benefits, depending upon how much attention he pays her.
Unfortunately I can’t find the article right now since I have a lap full of Peanut and he expresses his interest in the world at the moment by chasing any hand on the mouse.
