Stuff on my cat, or stuff my cat?
I like this: Stuff on my Cat. Cats make your clothes furry, they stand on your chest in the middle of the night, and they freak out at an odd sound and slash your fiance's chest and arms just before your honeymoon. Cats like things put on them, its obvious!
I'm no fan of shooting animals and stuffing them, but I found last night's BBC2 documentary on taxidermy really captivating. It wasn't about the animals, the frozen testicles or the boar with a boar-piglet positioned in the cavity of its upper torso...it was about the people! Matthius the 2003 World Taxidermy Championships winner, and a bizarre moment. After gazing at the small (live) fish in his hand, marvelling about its beauty (perhaps for too long), he released it into a tank. The fish 'swam' tail-first to the bottom, dead as a do-do. Matthius still had hope though, asking Jesus to give it a new life. The fish remained dead. He gave up taxidermy and stuck with Jesus (and some friends to clap and sing with).
