My first pets were dogs, so my cats were always raised the same way and all became rather sociable. But the water engagement is quite the neat trick!

that that's how she raised her cats and so came up with the name!
But, yeah. We started with tin foil balls and bouncy super balls, but she would fetch them back to me.
She's getting older, but will still rise the chase on occasion!

We had one who used to jump in the bathtub and paddle around. I've always felt guilty because one day I went into our adjoining bedroom to answer the phone before I'd added cold water to cool down the hot water in the tub. She jumped in, then straight up in the air and out. That was the last time she swam in the tub, and years later, I still feel badly that I spoiled her fun. (She wasn't hurt, at least).

Inspired by a story about a beautiful friendship between a puppeteer and a former community activist that he first read on Laughing Squid, filmmaker David Friedman decided to explore the subject further and created “Rick & Doris: An Unconventional Friendship in New York City. With Puppets,” a short original piece for the newly formed AARP Studios.

It all started with when Ricky Syers, a talented street performer, met Doris Diether, a housing rights activist who has since lost her voice. According to an article by Nina Golgowski for the New York Daily News, the two became instant friends.

It was while his marionettes were performing in the park on July 30 that Diether, who temporarily lost her voice a year ago due to an injury, first approached him. “One day she comes up to me and whispers, ‘I have something for you,'” he recalled. Opening a scrap book she revealed old newspaper clippings and articles she had written on marionettes back in 1974. Articles more recently added to her collection were ones she had seen on Syers’ work, which she cut out and saved for him. The gesture floored him. “This marionette thing has bonded us,” he said of their common interest, which inspired him to create the marionette resembling her “in honor of her.” …The charming little puppet featuring Diether’s short, white hair and rosy cheeks comes complete with a handbag, cane, and floral blouse and skirt.

I keep a spray bottle in the kitchen with a weak soapy water mixture, in order to kill ants and to do minor cleanups.

I had just filled it, and the sunlight made an interesting pattern. And the rest is history!

I watched all of it and the follow-up linked in the video's description. This was filmed on a beautiful ranch near Yellowstone.

Excellent contribution, so thanks for posting it, Bayard.

I love me those LOLcatz and I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but a big 'spensive coffee table-type book which just went on sale appears to have that 2nd-to-last photo in it - as best as I can tell - and the book along with the photos it contains are copyrighted material.

I make my living off copyrights so I'm particularly sensitive to this.

Thanks

Try checking at the bottom of the web page. Bottom-of-page is where one usually sees the copyright notice.

I'm no expert, nor am I an attorney. My comment was more of a "411" thing. And I appreciate your comment! Thanks!
