We recently (finally!!) got a DVR at home.\u00a0 Yippee!!\u00a0 AND… it’s HD!\u00a0 So, in theory, we get to watch high def TV on our high def TV that has been in the living room for oh, 2 or 3 years now…\u00a0 AND… I get to record all my geek girl shows like Good Eats and Jeopardy, and watch them whenever I want!\u00a0 OK, that’s not entirely true… I get to watch them when I have control of the clicker, which isn’t exactly all that often.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, Tina gets the HD-DVR home from Comcast’s office, gets it all hooked up, and we start enjoying all this new high technology.\u00a0 Except – most of the HD channels don’t work!\u00a0 They are acting like we didn’t actually subscribe to HD.\u00a0 After 3 phone calls with Comcast to get it resolved, they sent a service guy out today.\u00a0 I’m not usually the one who deals with service people, but everyone was golfing today, so I was home to observe Dog’s (the cat) behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And now, the point of the story… (yea, I’m not so much a short story kind of girl…)\u00a0 My cat is a tramp!\u00a0 Apparently she’s like this with any male service person, or really any other male stranger that comes in the house.\u00a0 She’s normally not too social with anyone – she wants to be in the same room and keep an eye on everyone, but she’d just as soon none of us get too close, thank you very much.\u00a0 (Most of the time anyway… every so often she’s actually quite sweet and friendly.)\u00a0 Anyway… as soon as this guy walked in, she was all over him.\u00a0 Sniffing him, rubbing up on his legs, following him around, hollering at me when I tried to grab her or shoo her away from him… She was IN LOVE.\u00a0 Or something like that.\u00a0 Charming, really…<\/p>\n
She’s also developed a taste for tuna, at age 13.\u00a0 She’s always refused to touch anything but her own dry cat food (and a brief phase of sometimes stealing dry dog food).\u00a0 She won’t eat treats, she won’t eat canned food, nothing.\u00a0 Until the last month or so – whenever Tina’s making a tuna sandwich,\u00a0Dog is out there begging, demanding a little snack.\u00a0 She LOVES tuna fish now.\u00a0 Not that unusual for a kitty, but to have not even tried it until age 13??\u00a0 Weirdo.\u00a0 However… apparently she’s not all that smart.\u00a0 It’s not just the smell of the tuna that makes her all nutty – it’s the sound of the can opener.\u00a0 I might mention that this is NOT an electric can opener… just a plain old fashioned hand can opener.\u00a0 OK, not that <\/em>old fashioned – it’s that fancy safety kind that doesn’t leave sharp edges – but it doesn’t make any noise.\u00a0 So now, opening a can of tomatoes or chicken broth elicits the same reaction.\u00a0 Except that she won’t sample the contents of those cans, even when offered.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We recently (finally!!) got a DVR at home.\u00a0 Yippee!!\u00a0 AND… it’s HD!\u00a0 So, in theory, we get to watch high def TV on our high def TV that has been in the living room for oh, 2 or 3 years now…\u00a0 AND… I get to record all my geek girl shows like Good Eats and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=85"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=85"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=85"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=85"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
