If she finds herself alone anywhere she emits blood curdling yells until somebody comes running. She sleeps on a table in the service porch and now demands to be lifted up and down from it. She gets warm milk about eight o’clock at night and starts yelling for it about 7.30. When she gets it she drinks a little, goes off and sits under a chair, then comes and yells all over again for someone to stand beside her while has another go at the milk. When we have company she looks them over and decides almost instantly if she likes them. If she does she strolls over and plops down on the floor far enough away to make it a chore to pet her. If she doesn’t like them, she sits in the middle of the living room, casts a contemptuous glance around, and proceeds to wash her backside.</em></div> </blockquote> <p><strong>Raymond Chandler</strong> on his cat Taki, and other <a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/04/29/literary-pets" target="_blank">famous authors’ effusive love letters to their pets</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://prettybourgeois.tumblr.com/post/49214272404http://prettybourgeois.tumblr.com/post/49214272404Mon, 29 Apr 2013 18:31:12 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0c9921be94b39842be37a1e2c6da47a2/tumblr_mlzj6iFH3b1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/49126073421/fortune-cookie" target="_blank">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/nevvvver" target="_blank">Fortune cookie</a></p> </blockquote>http://prettybourgeois.tumblr.com/post/49136572527http://prettybourgeois.tumblr.com/post/49136572527Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:03:48 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m60wi1Sgsu1rps6x9o10_500.jpg"/><br/> They Don't Make Them Like They Used To<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m60wi1Sgsu1rps6x9o13_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> ‘caught in the rapture’ <br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m60wi1Sgsu1rps6x9o9_500.jpg"/><br/> ‘I decline.
