Cujo, the attack cat.

Last night I was sitting in the passenger seat of a friend's car. Just shooting the breeze before I said goodnight and headed for my front door. When out of the dark night something hits the driver side window. I screamed. We looked at each other with matching WTF!??! expressions. Seconds later a LARGE cat jumps on the hood of the running car MEOWS at us and starts pawing the windshield. We laughed with relief, "Just a kitty." BUT WE WERE WRONG! The cat runs up the windshield and unto the roof of the car. We hear his padded paws across the roof and back to the windshield. He eyes us from the roof. He is watching us. It is more than a wee bit creepy. He bats at us with sharp claws clicking on glass. What could he possibly want from us. I decide to risk it and make a run for the house. My friend revs the car and drives off. I see the cat jump off the roof of the car and land lightly on the driveway. He lands running towards me!
EEEEKK! Stupid keys, why oh why don't I have keyless entry to my house? But he stops, Gato, my lovable stray, is watching the attacking stranger thru slitted eyes. I truly believe Gato saved my calves from being bitten and scratched. Gato shall dine on Tuna tonight.
The whole incident has me thinking. Over two years at this house and within the last four months the cat population has risen from zero to ten. Where are they coming from and what do they want?

Do you see what I see . . .

Last November I read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I really enjoyed the book. I mean it I really did. I was excited enough to put the movie version on my Netflix queue but leary enough not to place it at the top of my Queue. Dh already had it in his so I took it off of mine and time passed. Yesterday Bladerunner and another movie arrived, I'm sick so I get to pick the movie. Guess what I picked??

Good guess! I was stumped. I didn't like the movie. At first I thought "I don't like it because it isn't the same as the book" but then I realized I just didn't like the movie.
But the whole episode got me to thinking. Dangerous, I know. Anyway, I was upset that there was so little focus on the animals and the protag's need for an animal. Blah, I'm not good with the words. I want someone to read the book or that has read the book to give me a call. I want to see what someone else's take is.
