Had Pippi Longstocking lived today she probably would have been given Ritalin.

Some of the despaired prostitutes speaking in this movie could have made their living from writing poetry if such a thing had been possible.

There's something a bit disturbing about the feeling that I can spend my entire life watching my cats playing.

A place next door made my day: http://www.2forcats.com/. Really charming attitude of the owners!

Chocolate, for me, has the same strange symmetry water does. Water expands both when it's freezing and it's boiling. Chocolate is what I consume both when I'm too sad and too jolly.

To what degree do fluffy ones enjoy their own flufiness? Are they fluffy also on the other side of the skin?

Save it for a rainy day.

Mao's approach to food tasting is first eat than ask what it was.

In my role as a lector for the Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival I reached a conclusion that when I give a film a grade of 5 from a scale of 1 to 5 I'm also giving myself a grade of 5, meaning, I trust myself to have a better discretion than those who would have given it only 1, 2, 3 or 4.

It was a bit pretentious of Pitstul to assume he'd love Broccoli when not even all people do.

I do believe that a part of makes keeping a pet so good for the human soul is the impression it gives that life can indeed be carefree for some and in that sense living up to childhood's expectations.

Mao is my cat. And Louis is Mao's cat. You can very well see it in the picture.

A recipe for happiness is to always have a kitten by you. In that sense, as all kittens do end up growing up, it's a great shame there's no such profession as a Kittengartener.

Unlike humans, cats can grow a mustache as early as the age of really really small and cute.

One night of proliferation and you're set.

When your cat sounds like an old fridge it means it's happy.

One could see snow falling on Jerusalem here, on a live webcam from the Kotel - http://www.thekotel.org/cameras.asp - tonight.

Plainly marvelous.

I wanted to call Mao tonight to say hi what's up and I love you. The thing is that Mao doesn't know about the phone. So first thing when I get home I should teach him how to use it.

Mao had a visitor today: Itai, Mao's "biological father", who told me one of Mao's bravery stories. When the two of them first met, Mao clung to Itai's car engine from underneath, and Itai tried to scare him away with water and sorts, and eventually had to put on gloves, open the engine's cover and pull Mao all the way through.
