29. I haven't listened to Jimmy Witherspoon for years. I used to see him live once in a while...

...at The Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach when it was a great small jazz club.

It was always a good show.

Thanks for bringing him back to my consciousness.

30. I first heard this one as a cover

The cover was done by a band I worked with many years ago and the lyrics came to mind when I saw the cats on the sidewalk.

You are fortunate to have seen him.

31. The Lighthouse was a great venue.

I saw all kinds of great musicians there, Moses Allison, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, John Abercrombie, John Fahey - who really could drink - Clark Terry, many others.

There was a flophouse next door, and briefly, when I was down and out, I rented a room there. You could crawl out the window, sit by the Lighthouse's skylight, and take in a concert for free. But I also paid to get in many times. I'd the choice was between food and a ticket, sometimes the ticket would win.

It was said Coltrane played there, but old as I am, it was before my time. I had no idea who Coltrane was when he died, since I was just a kid, but it must have been a sacred experience to have seen him at the Lighthouse.

I went back to Hermosa Beach, maybe 10 years ago, for a brief trip down memory lane, and it had become some kind of flashy yuppie bar, but it had a great history.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

11. I'd be the one

Bringing out the feather toys and laser pointer.

Trying to pet them all while having a squeeseizure

[Ocelot II]

12. Those cats might be too stoned for toys and laser pointers.

They'd be all like, "Dude, whut?" and "Have you ever really looked at your paw?"

[I_UndergroundPanther]

13. Than I'd

Pet them all and squee to death.

[Ocelot II]

16. I'd lie down next to them and hope they'd come and sit on me

so I could pet them.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. Yup.

Ahh the almighty fur n purr..❤️😺

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. I grow it in a hanging basket

[Ocelot II]

[TheBlackAdder]

19. Excuse me, how do it get to the store? Take the catwalk. There's a catwalk here? You'll see.

[twodogsbarking]

20. So your house is the drug house

in cat la la land.

[niyad]

21. In my neighborhood, it is ubiquitous. But I have never seen quite that many at one time.

And then, of course, there is always catmint tea. Has the opposite effect on humans than it does on our furbabies.

[calimary]

22. I Freakin' LOVE This!

Our cats probably would, too...
