Sand Scoop My kitten "cleans" up after she's finished eating.?
I feed my kittens soft food every morning and when my girl kitten has had enough, she wipes the floor. You know when cats are in the litter box and scoop sand over their "business," that is what she's doing with her food, there's just no sand.
I was wondering if anyone knows why she does this? It's not a bother or anything, I'm just interested as to why she does it. I was thinking it may have something to do with her brother, he likes to eat her food when he's finished with his. Maybe she thinks she's "masking the smell"?
Hiding food can be an instinctive behavior. If she were in the wild, your cat would eat what she needed and hide the rest of her food until she was hungry again. So this may be her way of hiding from predators and scavengers. Also, she could just be doing it to play. Cats are experts at finding endless ways to entertain themselves; this may be something she does to make eating more of an adventure, much like children who draw smiley faces in their mashed potatoes.
At any rate, your cat's food hiding is nothing to worry about. You can think of it as a cute little personality quirk--one that's probably a lot of fun to watch.
The passage of time is an interesting concept, philosophically speaking that is. If we are to understand our place in the universe, we can place ourselves on a set of cartesian coordinates, but that doesn't quite give us a complete picture. I'm not talking Heisenberg stuff here, although his uncertainty principle can apply - we're just setting it aside for now. No, we're talking that elusive 4th dimension of time. Yes, time - without which our universe would be exceedingly static and boring. Without which the term 'causality' would have no meaning. The giant pain-in-the-butt thing about time is that we can only travel linearly through it, and only forwards. Sucks, we know - it means Doc Brown and Marty's adventures will have to remain in the domain of science-fiction. Stupid time. So, here we remain - stuck in this unbreakable chain of events, never able to break free from our temporal bonds. We find ourselves watching the passage of time for its own sake - willing it to move faster as we wait for water to boil, our paychecks to cash, or the next episode of Lost to air. We can watch numbers blink by on an LED clock, we can sit mesmerized by the rocking of a pendulum, gaze fixedly at circular sweeping hands of our watch dials, or we can go old-school! We can watch grains of crystalline silicon pass through a narrow opening of glass. Yep, these magnificent timepieces are simple hourglasses designed to allow a set amount of sand to pass through from one chamber to the next - taking roughly an hour to do so, you can watch causality in action! One grain falls allowing gravity to pull and overcome the friction of another grain of sand behind it. As each flies by, another falls in succession, thus the passage of time. It's a beautiful and mesmerizing thing.
On this third collection of Pete Townshend rarities and demos, the Who guitarist/mastermind offers up another compelling set of curiosities that draws from both his solo career and his tenure with his legendary band. In addition to pensive, minimal takes on Who tunes such as "Sea & Sand" and "Eminence Front" (the latter sounding almost nothing like its popular synth-laden counterpart), Townshend presents previously unreleased tracks such as the majestic rock tune "Commonwealth Boys" and the delicate piano-only instrumental "Poem Disturbed." While the compilation is mainly geared toward Townshend's diehard fans, Who aficionados will have much to admire as well, making the anthology a welcome addition to his well-compiled SCOOP series.
Remember when you rocked? Yeah, I'm talking to you. Back in the day when music was so loud it made the fillings in your teeth rattle out? (Yeah! Those dang cheap fillings made from silver and mercury (symbols Ag and Hg (heh, didn't you always think hydrargyrum was a funny sounding word for mercury (oh! and did you know you can actually force the noble gases to bond with mercury by utilizing an electric discharge...)))) wait, when did you become a chemistry geek? Proclaim your love for your favorite portion of the periodic table of elements with this masterpiece of a t-shirt. Black babydoll (fitted) tee features a scoop neck (as opposed to a high crew neck) with white and red depictions of 11 heavy metals from copper to bismuth doodled in the style of a 16-year-old metalhead. You do, indeed, rock.
At a shopping mall, there's a giant color-coded map to tell us if we're next to the Frank-n-Stein or where one can find the local Chess King. We think that in the grand scheme of things, that whole mall is really just a microspeck in the universe; it's a dust mite in the interstellar medium of our tiny galaxy! What's the point!? Why bother!? To put things in perspective, so-to-speak, we at ThinkGeek's Advanced Astrophysics Lab and T-Shirt Shop decided to help you out. In case you're ever feeling lost in this ever-expanding universe of about 300 billion galaxies, this t-shirt will help guide your way. With a representation of our own little 100,000 light-year-across cluster of 200 billion stars, the Milky Way, we show you the location of our solar system (in the Orion arm in case you're wondering). So next time you're running late from your jaunt over to Andromeda, you'll be able to make it back safely. It may take you a few hundred million years to do it, but at least you'll have a map. Black babydoll (fitted) tee features a scoop neck (as opposed to a high crew neck) with a view of the Milky Way galaxy and a sign that reads "You are Here" pointing in the general direction of Earth.

Both laughs and thrills are on the masthead in this comedy drama about a would-be reporter written and directed by Woody Allen. Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson) is an American journalism student who travels to England to visit friends. While in London, she attends a magic show where magician Sid "Splendini" Waterman (Woody Allen) brings her on-stage as part of a trick in which he makes her disappear. However, while waiting to be "de-materialized," she's visited by the ghost of a murdered reporter (Ian McShane), who passes along the scoop of the decade. The spirit claims that Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman), the wealthy and handsome son of a well-known aristocrat, is leading a double life as "the Tarot Card Killer," a serial murderer who has been terrifying the nation and eluding police. With the magician's help, Jane begins investigating the story and is able to piece together some incriminating evidence against Lyman. However, the more she learns, the more dangerous her investigation becomes -- especially when she falls into a romance with the suspected killer. Scoop was Woody Allen's second consecutive film with leading lady Scarlett Johansson, after the critically acclaimed Match Point; it was also Allen's second feature to be shot in Great Britain. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
Tyler Briggs (Michael Vartan) returns home for his mother's funeral only to encounter the redneck side of the family -- his estranged father Gus (Marshall Bell), his two drug-addled, burned-out half-brothers, and their shady friend Teddy (Denis Leary). Sniffing money, Gus wants to reestablish contact with his son, whom he abandoned with his mother 20 years previous, but Tyler wants nothing to do with him or the useless brothers. Tyler settles into a small coastal California town, where he meets the lovely Sandy (Kari Wuhrer) and her brother Jack (Norman Reedus). But Gus and the gang turn up, and Sandy becomes the victim of an attempted rape by Tyler's dimwitted scuzzbucket brothers. That doesn't sit well with Jack and his friends, and soon it's the townies against the career criminals, who happen to be better armed. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
In the dry desert climate of Tatooine the Sand People have a real complexion problem. They've tried coating their skin with Bantha blubber and experimented with Jawa dung. However in the end the Sand People were forced to wrap their faces with strips of coarse burlap and call it a day. That was until these R2-D2 USB Humidifiers came along. Now the Sand People can fill these mini droids with water and plug them into their laptops for a soothing mist. We've found that the climate of some offices is almost as dry as Tatooine, so Earth based humans can enjoy as well.
2 LPs on 1 CD.These are Townshend's demos of Who songs and solo work.Includes liner notes by Pete Townshend.As most longtime Who fans know, guitarist Pete Townshend penned the vast majority of the legendary band's compositions. Most songs were first made into demos by Townshend (as he oft-times playing all the instruments himself), and then learned by the rest of the band members. Townshend's 1983 release, SCOOP, is a double album (here pressed into a single CD) of demos from all eras of Townshend's career.There's a reason why some songs never made it past the demo stage ("Zelda," "Piano: Tipperary"), but other previously unreleased tracks such as "Mary" (from the Who's aborted LIFEHOUSE project) are exceptional. Included are rare takes of such future Who standards as "Bargain," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Magic Bus," and "Love Reign O'er Me," as well as the early Who songs "So Sad About Us" and "Circles." SCOOP (and its follow-up, ANOTHER SCOOP) serves as a fascinating glimpse of Townshend at work.

The best part about being a miracle worker is that you're not tied down to the rules and regulations of traditional medicine. Hippo-what Oath? Whatever. If there's a noble cause, like ruining the wedding of the king's stinking son who fired you, then you can do whatever it takes to bring the mostly dead back to life. And if the mostly dead turns out to be all dead, you can scrounge around in his pockets for loose change. Maybe even enough money to buy a delicious MLT, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.... But we digress. The handbill printed on this 100% cotton, sand-colored shirt is a movable advertisement for Miracle Max's services. Discounts for noble causes. Hie-diddle-ick dal-da-naysha!
