17:31
Meow! Meow! Meow!
17:37
Meow! Meow! It
18:02
goes by many names. There
18:04
are approximately 250 species of
18:07
catnip and this figure doesn't
18:09
include hybrids. But all of
18:11
these substances have one thing
18:14
in common. The active ingredient,
18:16
nepetolactone cycloalkane, an essential oil
18:18
found in the leaves and
18:21
stem of the plant that
18:23
causes wildly unpredictable behavior in
18:25
its users, characterized by hallucinations,
18:28
illusions, and distortions of both
18:30
perception and thinking. That's... catnip.
18:32
Over the centuries thousands of
18:35
things have been written about
18:37
catnip. In fact there is
18:39
even a story of an
18:42
executioner who would have to
18:44
chew on the root of
18:46
catnip so that he could
18:49
bring himself to kill. But
18:51
despite the years of combined
18:53
scientific research, we still do
18:56
not truly know exactly what
18:58
it is that catnip does.
19:00
Not only are the chromosome
19:03
questions unanswered, but we are
19:05
still not able to predict
19:07
in advance whether a catnip
19:10
user at any particular moment
19:12
in their life is going
19:14
to have a good trip
19:17
or a bad one. This
19:24
is why catnip looks like, but
19:26
what can't be seen is where
19:29
the drug has its real effect
19:31
in the mind. Those two inches
19:34
of inner space between the front
19:36
of the snoots and the back
19:38
of the cranium. The results are
19:41
material. Much in the same way
19:43
that the psychoactive chemicals contained within
19:45
catnip can be erratic and inconsistent.
19:48
Cats who react to nepetylactylactone differ
19:50
in their individual responses. But this
19:53
much is not. Once ingested, catnip
19:55
goes off like an atomic bomb
19:57
within those 300 million neurons sitting
20:00
inside a cat cerebral cortex. And
20:02
just like atomic energy, the results
20:05
vary wildly, from situation to situation.
20:07
When inhaled or snorted, catnip will
20:09
stimulate a cat. And once stimulated,
20:12
users exhibit a range of behaviors
20:14
that may include sniffing, licking and
20:17
chewing the plant, as well as
20:19
head, chin, cheek, and body rubbing.
20:21
This psychosexual reaction lasts for 5
20:24
to 15 minutes and cannot be
20:26
evoked again for an hour, at
20:28
which point the cat may require
20:31
a higher dose in order to
20:33
achieve the same degree of intoxication.
20:36
Some users drill and roll about
20:38
on the floor, others become exceedingly
20:40
hyperactive, and many will become aggressive,
20:43
picking fights with other cats after
20:45
their senses have been altered by
20:48
the drug. When eaten, the herb
20:50
becomes a powerful sedative, tranquilizing the
20:52
user to the point of near
20:55
Catatonia and making it more difficult
20:57
for them to effectively react to
20:59
situations within their environment. Otherwise, normal
21:02
felines may react to catnip doses
21:04
by seeing strange patterns of wildly
21:07
moving lights. Time may appear to
21:09
stand completely still. and colors, shapes,
21:11
smells, tastes, textures, the whole range
21:14
of things that can be seen,
21:16
heard, touched, and tasted, take on
21:19
other distortions that can appear completely
21:21
and utterly real. After several years
21:23
of research, we have determined that
21:26
there are many similarities between the
21:28
catnip experience and schizophrenia. However, our
21:30
current opinion about catnip is that
21:33
it works as more of an
21:35
amplifier, a catalyst. that amplifies the
21:38
psyche and mental state of the
21:40
user. And what of the user's
21:42
mental state? Due to the almost
21:45
infinite variables, it is absolutely unpredictable
21:47
as to who will have a
21:50
bad experience or when they will
21:52
have it. But everyone who takes
21:54
catnet, even its most vocal supporters,
21:57
admit that there is always the
21:59
risk of a bad trip, a
22:01
bummer, or even a flip-out. It
22:04
can be a real kid. or
22:06
it can be a kick in
22:09
the head. The user may see
22:11
distorted beauty or may tumble into
22:13
a private hell. The most dangerous
22:16
act can seem attractive and easy
22:18
to accomplish. In a bad trip,
22:21
instant insanity, a never never land
22:23
of seemingly no return. For every
22:25
good trip, there are risks as
22:28
well. Nepotylactone flashbacks and hallucinations can
22:30
occur after the original dose, and
22:32
the user may not even know
22:35
what is happening. The drug is
22:37
easy to procure, and catnip dealers
22:40
can be found peddling their wares
22:42
in almost any major city, selling
22:44
the substance and equal doses to
22:47
both the experienced user and the
22:49
novice. And since there is no
22:52
regulation on catnip, it's impossible to
22:54
predict the dosage. Or to know
22:56
if the drug has been cut
22:59
with sawdust, hay, or other mystery
23:01
fillers, used by unscrupulous dealers to
23:04
beef up its bulk in color.
23:06
The nip may be dirty or
23:08
contaminated, and by the time the
23:11
user finds out, it's too late
23:13
to turn back. Consider
23:18
this cat. Chances are that she
23:20
will get well again, well enough
23:22
to leave the tub. But whether
23:24
she will ever truly be the
23:26
same again, have the same personality,
23:28
the same ambitions, the same drive
23:30
to hunt, to love, to get
23:32
along with others, that we won't
23:34
know for a long time. In
23:36
the end it may be that
23:38
with catnip, too much is unknown.
23:40
The answers aren't all in yet,
23:42
and research continues, but is the
23:44
risk worth it. That's
23:47
a question
23:49
every cat
23:52
will have
23:54
to answer
23:56
for themselves
24:20
I'm Yeah,
28:01
that's it. Dr.
30:20
Nax Tomcat stayed out late last
30:22
night. He wasn't treating his pushy
30:24
cat right, but when the time
30:26
got home, the fur began to
30:28
fly, says, cool down, mom, let
30:31

is through. There's
35:49
danger out on the nation's road.
35:51
They're paved with snakes and flattened toads.
35:54
And truckers driving wrecks so big. They
35:56
can flatten the cow. Order a horse.
35:58
Our humanity! And those
36:00
who survive are a lucky
36:03
few, but there's one brave
36:05
cat who made it through,
36:07
and I'm here to tell
36:09
the tale to you. Of
36:11
sale, cat. Seal, cat! Sail,
36:14
cat! Hmm. It was hunting
36:16
for mouse to feed his
36:18
face, when strange radiation from
36:20
outer space turned him into
36:22
a super invincible cat. When
36:25
a truck ran him down
36:27
with a hideous spong. Oh,
36:29
he couldn't be killed, but he
36:31
still could be squished, and he
36:34
lay in the passing lane shaking
36:36
his face. Then some kids helped
36:38
him fly with a flick of
36:40
the rest, and that was the
36:42
birth. Oh, sale cat! Sal cat!
36:45
Sal cat! He rolled after that
36:47
truck like a bus on least,
36:49
and he sliced it into like
36:51
a knife through a peach. One
36:53
truck half took the high road,
36:56
the other alone, and the message
36:58
went out. Don't sing any radio.
37:00
Breaker, Breaker, look out, watch
37:03
your back, be afraid there's
37:05
a frisbee like can who's
37:08
a mighty sharp blade. So
37:10
the feared and revered reputation
37:13
was made of sale. Cadd,
37:15
Cadd, Cail Cadd! He'd been
37:18
known to cut Redwoods and
37:20
stomole flea when a family
37:23
of tape worms was crossing
37:25
the street. And
37:28
when mom's having trouble
37:30
with Thanksgiving plans, he has
37:32
even dropped by to help
37:34
open some cans. And when
37:36
someone's depressor has had a
37:39
bad day, he literally knows
37:41
just the right things to
37:43
say. Don't be depressed, Kyle.
37:45
People are here because you're
37:47
big and fat and ugly.
37:50
Go with it! Let he'll
37:52
ask for a toss and
37:54
pee on his way. He sailed cat.
37:59
that was whispered. his throat was
38:01
dry and his paw was bare,
38:03
meow, his furry cat's meow. Soon
38:05
may the katiman come with birds
38:07
and mice and some tasty gums.
38:09
One day when the critters come,
38:11
we'll eat killer bellies are full.
38:13
Well, jelly got his boys and
38:16
they gathered round, they scattered seeds
38:18
from a sack they found, in
38:20
hopes the seeds they spread on
38:22
the ground, what brings all critters
38:24
a boot. Soon may they came
38:26
and come with birch and mice
38:28
and some tasty numbs. One day
38:31
when the craters come, we'll eat
38:33
till our bellies are full. While
38:35
the king was bored and Morel
38:37
had dipped to one of the
38:39
seeds grew green catnip. They snapped
38:41
and they stacked and they all
38:43
got ripped. They all had them
38:45
yeah that night. Soon may the
38:47
kittyman come with birch and mice
38:49
and some tasty numbs One day
38:51
when the craters come Will eat
38:53
till our bellies are full While
38:55
their heads were hum and the
38:57
mooring was nigh The knit was
38:59
strong and they all got hurt
39:01
Their bellies were shrunk and their
39:03
voles still got O praying us
39:05
some ice today. Soon may the
39:07
kitty men come with birch and
39:09
mice and some tasty numbs One
39:11
day when the craters come Will
39:13
they till our bellies I fall Dear
39:17
kitten, this is a bit of an
39:19
awkward subject, but you realize that the
39:21
humans don't bathe. I mean, they do
39:23
have tongues. I've seen them, they're giant.
39:26
They could clean your whole back and
39:28
one licking, but they don't. I mean,
39:30
this is going to sound weird because
39:32
I'm so much older than you, but
39:34
I have never been licked by a
39:36
human. I mean, I don't need it.
39:38
I know what I'm doing, but I
39:40
worry about them. In any case, part
39:42
of what we have to do is...
39:44
Give them a bath once in a
39:46
while. I usually wait till they're lying
39:48
down. Mainly because when they're standing up their
39:50
heads are very far away. I mean I
39:52
could jump that high, but like with many
39:54
things that I could do, I choose not
39:56
to. And they love it, especially in the
39:58
middle of the night. They owe. Oh,
40:00
you're going right for the
40:02
feet. That's no please after
40:05
you. And the armpits. Oh,
40:07
oh gosh. Well, you got
40:10
there first. So, you know,
40:12
that's your turf now. I'll
40:15
stick to, you know, the
40:17
boring old hands and head.
40:20
Hmm, darn. I think this
40:22
is going to work out
40:25
just fine. Oh, okay, no.
40:27
There's a line, I'm drawing it,
40:29
not between the toes. That is,
40:31
that's disgusting. Okay, this message was
40:33
brought to you by Purina Friskeys
40:36
for a happier, healthier cat and
40:38
a happier and healthier human being
40:40
too. Okay, so good evening. Welcome
40:42
once again to another exciting edition
40:44
of The Bitslop today. It's cat
40:46
day. And it really is cat
40:49
day today. Cat day is set
40:51
forth. as February 8th of every
40:53
year. I don't know what Elon
40:55
Musk has to say about it,
40:57
but I think he'll probably get
40:59
around to it eventually. But anyway,
41:02
so, you know, we do this
41:04
every year. So we try to anyway.
41:06
So we started up top with an
41:08
old version of the Felix the Cat
41:10
theme. You could tell the difference, right?
41:13
I mean, the old, the new one
41:15
is old now too, right? Okay. Heywood
41:17
Banks, my favorite go-to guy, can write
41:19
a song about anything. A cat who
41:21
became a radio or TV antenna. I
41:24
like that idea. I'm going to try
41:26
that next time. Because we don't, it's
41:28
not easy burying things in our backyard
41:30
with all the rocks. You know what
41:33
I mean? Tomcat Blues was Cliff
41:35
Carlyle. Sure Wayne Winchester, the Pussycat.
41:37
I think that was Train Your
41:39
Cat, right? Train Your Cat.
41:42
Okay, the rags, Take The
41:44
Cat. Take the Cat. And
41:46
Calypso Cat from Francisco Francisco
41:48
Francisco. Francisco Francisco. On we,
41:50
okay. Carol of the Bell.
41:53
Carol of the Smells was
41:55
voicemail. Let's see, we heard
41:57
egress to oblivion, a documentary.
41:59
by Jason Willis about the
42:01
evils of Catnip. And if
42:03
you ignored that, then you
42:05
probably went out to the
42:07
cat's pajama party. That was
42:09
the Webkins, whoever they are.
42:12
Sound a little childish to
42:14
me, but that's life. Ten
42:16
bucks three. Remember them? Yeah,
42:18
facts about cats. That was
42:20
Dr. Nax Tomcat. Was Frank
42:22
Rice, right? Okay. And let's
42:24
see, the Billy Jonas Band,
42:26
what kind of a cat
42:28
are you? I'm
42:30
going to leave that up in
42:32
the air and just you can
42:34
take it out for yourself. The
42:36
legend of Sailcat, I'm not a
42:38
sail cat. That was from the
42:40
cartoon show Cow and Chicken. Remember
42:43
that on? I guess it was
42:45
Midnight Swim or something? I don't
42:47
know. Let's see, the kitty man's
42:49
sea shanty from the trailer park
42:51
boys featuring bubbles up front there.
42:53
And then Deer Kitten. You're human,
42:55
okay, from pre-yearning friskies. And we
42:57
do have another word from another
42:59
entirely different sponsor. So why don't
43:01
I just go ahead and leave
43:03
it to that? And we'll be
43:05
back in just a bit. I
43:07
don't know if your cats are
43:09
like mine, but my cats like
43:11
to come in and out as
43:13
they please, even during the cold
43:16
weather, don't like to sit in
43:18
one place at the convenience of
43:20
people. You let them out, they
43:22
want to come back in, get
43:24
something. Yet's kind of tiresome after
43:26
a while being a doorman for
43:28
cats. But if you stop to
43:30
think about it, you can see
43:32
their point of view. It'd be
43:34
hard if you and I had
43:36
to go through life unable to
43:38
open doors, had to just sit
43:40
outside them and call to people,
43:42
hello, anybody there, please help! If
43:44
you think about it, you may
43:46
drop down to Bertha's kitty boutique
43:48
and pick up a cat's eye
43:51
brand, cat door kit from Bertha's.
43:53
automatic door opener with the electric
43:55
eye beam that's activated when your
43:57
cat breaks the beam and meows
43:59
so it doesn't let in stray
44:01
dogs because it It's a tune
44:03
to a cat's voice. It's a
44:05
real breakthrough for our cats. I'll
44:07
tell you, we don't need to
44:09
stay up late at night waiting
44:11
for them to come home. They
44:13
come in, go as they please.
44:15
And it comes in useful for
44:17
us too, because everybody forgets their
44:19
house keys now and then. Now
44:21
all we need to do is
44:23
come up to the back door
44:26
crouched down real low and she
44:28
opens right up. Birth is kitty
44:30
boutique. This little song that bears
44:32
on this very topic from the
44:34
songs of the cat song book
44:36
from birth is called the ins
44:38
and outs song I Want to
44:40
go out Open that door if
44:42
you love me. I got to
44:44
go out Want to breathe the
44:46
air I got to get loose
44:48
With that blue sky above me.
44:50
I've been here long enough I
44:52
got to be there I
44:55
want to come in. What's
44:57
the matter? Can't you hear
44:59
me? I want to come
45:02
in. I am your cat.
45:04
I've got to get home.
45:07
With the people, I left
45:09
near me. I've been gone.
45:11
A long, long time. Now
45:14
I'm back. And now I
45:16
want to go out. Because
45:18
I'm an independent creature. I
45:21
am a cat, you know.
45:23
We're the wandering kind. Yes,
45:26
we are. It's the call
45:28
of the wild. I've got
45:30
to get back to nature.
45:33
These paws are made for
45:35
walking. Now it's time. Okay,
45:37
I'm back. But not for
45:40
long I'll soon be gone.
45:42
Just give me a bite.
45:45
And I'm on my way.
45:47
Now open the door. And
45:49
I'll just, good grief is
45:52
snowing. Open up, let me
45:54
in, and I'm back to
45:56
stay. Well now it stops.
45:59
So thanks for all your
46:01
love. You gotta hop that
46:04
straight. I'm a rambling guy.
46:06
I gotta hit the road.
46:08
Well, it's in the blood
46:11
or something. I know you
46:13
understand, so please don't cry.
46:15
Hello, it's me. I knew
46:18
you'd probably miss me. So
46:20
I came back, because I
46:23
missed you so. Daughter can't
46:25
stay long. So won't you
46:27
come and kiss me? I
46:30
think I hear that lonesome
46:32
whistle glow. I'm on my
46:34
way. Got to leave my
46:37
mom and daddy. Gotta say
46:39
goodbye. Want to hear that
46:42
highway home? Now I'm all
46:44
alone. And feeling so unhappy.
46:46
It's time that I went
46:49
back where I came from.
46:51
Yes, it's time to go
46:53
back. Time to put that
46:56
road behind me, drifted away.
46:58
But I'm going back now.
47:01
Here's a little white house.
47:03
Here's the pick of sense.
47:05
And the Ivy. I'll knock
47:08
on the door. Meow! Open
47:10
up, it's me. It's your
47:12
catch. I'm out here. Meow!
47:15
I know you're in there.
47:17
I can hear you laughing.
47:22
If you open up this door right now or I'll
47:24
go away and never come back. It's
48:01
a freedom. In
48:11
the
48:13
box, in
48:16
the
48:18
basket, behind
48:20
the
48:23

57:54

58:02
the cat got bad we
58:04
put him in a
58:06
box and we dug a
58:09
little hole covered in
58:11
with rocks and we picked
58:13
a couple dandelions and we
58:16
picked a couple dandelions
58:18
said a little prayer and
58:20
we all went off to
58:23
bed because we mostly didn't
58:25
care. But
58:31
in the middle of the night,
58:33
a dog started sniffing was the
58:35
Labrador Retriever that belonged to Mrs.
58:37
Griffin, and even though the cat
58:40
was smelly and stiff, he thought
58:42
it'd be a nice addition to
58:44
Mrs. Griffin's kitchen. Well, throughout the
58:46
house, she has cat curiosities with
58:48
kitties on her couch and her
58:50
coat and her colost to meet
58:52
people gave her kitty gifts, but
58:54
all a dog could afford as
58:56
a cat he dug up with
58:58
a cat he dug up with
59:00
a cat he'd. There began the
59:02
pandemonium, the dog dropped the cat,
59:04
and it clunked to the congolium,
59:06
and snapped back to life right
59:08
there on the linoleum, shook a
59:10
shaggy head out of its cat
59:12
attonium. From the floor to the
59:14
counter, and all around the kitchen,
59:16
the cat was chased by the
59:18
dog, and the dog by Mrs.
59:20
Griffin passed the living room couch
59:22
with a kitty motif through the
59:24
front door screen out into the
59:27
street. as a delivery route, and
59:29
he happened to be passing with
59:31
a van full of fruit. He
59:33
missed the woman and the dog,
59:35
but his face went pale, because
59:37
in a splat, the cat was
59:39
corn beef hash with a tail.
59:41
Yuck. Oh, the cat got dead.
59:43
We put him in a box,
59:45
and we dug a little hole,
59:47
and we covered him with rocks,
59:49
and we picked a couple, and
59:51
line, said a little prayer, and
59:53
we all went off to bed,
59:55
because he mostly didn't care. One
1:00:17
of our cats not long
1:00:19
ago was taken very ill.
1:00:21
When I came home that
1:00:23
night I found her body
1:00:25
stiff and still. We haven't
1:00:27
any garden because we're living
1:00:29
in a flat. So what
1:00:31
could I do with the
1:00:33
body of the cat? And
1:00:35
a great big paper bag
1:00:37
I spy. And I placed
1:00:39
the body of the cat
1:00:41
inside. And off I went
1:00:43
with the body in the
1:00:46
bag. The body in the
1:00:48
bag. I stepped into a
1:00:50
restaurant, though I didn't care
1:00:52
to eat. It was just
1:00:54
an excuse to leave my
1:00:56
bird in, underneath the seat.
1:00:58
But hard luck sure, for
1:01:00
soon the eye was simply
1:01:02
out of luck, for the
1:01:04
waitress followed me as round
1:01:06
the block I tried to
1:01:08
duck, and I had to
1:01:10
find the silly fool and
1:01:12
tip her off a buck
1:01:14
for bringing me the body
1:01:16
in the bag. I went
1:01:18
with the body in the
1:01:21
bag. The body in the
1:01:23
bag. I went down to
1:01:25
the railroad, and I laid
1:01:27
it on the line. I
1:01:29
thought I'd wait for Casey
1:01:31
Jones, because he's a friend
1:01:33
of mine. A night was
1:01:35
dark. The train came hearing
1:01:37
swiftly down the track. As
1:01:39
it came along past I
1:01:41
got an awful whack. In
1:01:43
a dirty, smelly, muddy ditch.
1:01:45
I landed on my back,
1:01:47
cuddling the body in the
1:01:49
bag. Or if I went
1:01:51
with the body in the
1:01:53
bag, the body in the
1:01:55
bag. I
1:02:01
found myself inside the park
1:02:03
upon my hands and knees,
1:02:05
and I hurled the bag
1:02:07
with a deadly aim into
1:02:09
a clump of trees, and
1:02:11
a voice cried out, O
1:02:13
heavens! And a great big
1:02:16
husky chap said, Watch the
1:02:18
big eye, dear boy, are
1:02:20
you looking for a scrap?
1:02:22
What do you mean by
1:02:24
throwing that bundle in me
1:02:26
sweet patootie flap? And he
1:02:28
soaked me with the body
1:02:31
in the bag. Oh, I
1:02:33
went with the body in
1:02:35
the bag, the body in
1:02:37
the bag. Suddenly, the mouth
1:02:39
of the bag, there came
1:02:41
a plaintive now. Said Puss,
1:02:43
I've come to life again,
1:02:46
you needn't bother now. Anyone
1:02:48
can tell you that a
1:02:50
cat has lots of lives,
1:02:52
and I'm entitled to nine
1:02:54
of them. I'm one of
1:02:56
your dog cat's wives. I
1:02:58
usually have my families. in
1:03:01
threes and the fours and
1:03:03
the five. And there's seven
1:03:05
little bodies in the bag.
1:03:07
So she took the high
1:03:09
road, and I took the
1:03:11
low road. And she got
1:03:13
home before me. Now Pussy
1:03:16
and her family are often
1:03:18
hurt to brag. About the
1:03:20
night they fooled me, but
1:03:22
the body in the bag.
1:03:39
I'm was beaming yesterday
1:03:41
the sky was blue.
1:03:44
Yesterday I spent in
1:03:47
and beaming happy hours
1:03:49
away with you. But
1:03:52
I got chilled, I
1:03:54
don't mean maybe, just
1:03:57
like a shot. I
1:03:59
was back, because since
1:04:02
I left you last
1:04:05
night, baby, a black
1:04:07
cat crossed my path.
1:04:10
Now I don't believe
1:04:12
in superstitions, such a
1:04:15
rot bunged me up
1:04:17
with the wrath. But
1:04:20
this show been a
1:04:22
change in my condition,
1:04:25
since that black cat
1:04:28
crossed my path. Little
1:04:33
lady,
1:04:35
old
1:04:38
lady.
1:04:40
Pick
1:04:43
that
1:04:45
thing
1:04:48
boy.
1:04:51
Play
1:04:53
it,
1:04:56
brother.
1:05:00
I got your letter
1:05:02
baby saying you done
1:05:04
turned me down. Now
1:05:07
I lost my job
1:05:09
and all my money
1:05:11
is blown away like
1:05:14
the child. Old hard
1:05:16
luck she's done got
1:05:18
me honey since it
1:05:21
black cat crossed my
1:05:23
path. Now
1:05:26
I don't believe in superstition.
1:05:29
Such a rot bunged me
1:05:31
up with a rap. But
1:05:34
this show been a change
1:05:36
in my condition. Since it
1:05:39
black cat crossed my path.
1:05:41
Play it boy. Do
1:06:01
you see that black cat
1:06:03
just ahead of you? Look
1:06:05
out. You may cross your
1:06:08
path with a sudden dart
1:06:10
of its black furry body.
1:06:12
Now you know that old
1:06:14
superstition about not letting a
1:06:17
black furry body. Well, if
1:06:19
you do or even if
1:06:21
you don't, perhaps you'll be
1:06:23
interested in hearing the strange
1:06:26
tale of Felix Darnell and
1:06:28
the cat that screamed in
1:06:30
the night, high above the
1:06:32
streets of the city. It
1:06:35
was a cold and dreary
1:06:37
rain-swept day when Felix Darnell
1:06:39
first met the cat. Felix
1:06:41
Darnell was a construction foreman
1:06:44
on the well-spenser project on
1:06:46
the Lower East Side. The
1:06:48
well-spenser building was already 13
1:06:50
stories high, and with but
1:06:53
seven floors more to go.
1:06:55
The building would be one
1:06:57
of the mightiest and most
1:06:59
ultramodden structures on the east
1:07:02
side. Now Felix was a
1:07:04
tall, thin scarecrow of a
1:07:06
man. But the muscles of
1:07:08
his body were taught and
1:07:11
finally strung through his deceiving-looking
1:07:13
frame. He was a foreman
1:07:15
of an older day. Indeed,
1:07:18
he might have worked on
1:07:20
the pyramids or the Colossus
1:07:22
of Rhodes. But Felix Darnell
1:07:24
was a lonely man with
1:07:27
no one to share his
1:07:29
pride. He ate alone, lived
1:07:31
alone, and walked alone. And
1:07:33
on this cold, dreary rain-swept
1:07:36
day he walked to his
1:07:38
job, staring down at the
1:07:40
pavement. Suddenly there before him,
1:07:42
a long... thin black cat
1:07:45
stalk from an alley and
1:07:47
halted on its watches. Felix
1:07:49
Donald didn't see it. the
1:07:51
cat until he nearly stumbled
1:07:54
across it. He snapped out
1:07:56
of his reverie and cursed
1:07:58
cats. He hated cats. Viciously,
1:08:00
he aimed a kick at
1:08:03
it. The cat howled in
1:08:05
pain and slunk off miserable
1:08:07
and wet in the rain.
1:08:09
When Felix reached the project,
1:08:12
he changed into his overalls
1:08:14
and cap and took the
1:08:16
lift for 13th floor. By
1:08:18
now, the rain had abated
1:08:21
some bon, but... As he
1:08:23
looked at the scaffolds of
1:08:25
the catwalks, Felix Darnell was
1:08:27
not happy. The rain and
1:08:30
the wetness would slow up
1:08:32
the job, cursed again. Suddenly,
1:08:34
Felix Darnell heard a crying,
1:08:36
moaning noise. A low, fierce
1:08:39
sound like someone in agony.
1:08:41
Could someone be stuck out
1:08:43
on the framework trapped on
1:08:46
one of the catwalks? Taking
1:08:48
a flashlight because the daylight
1:08:50
was dark and unnatural still,
1:08:52
he stepped out onto the
1:08:55
catwalk that ran on a
1:08:57
straight line to what would
1:08:59
be a southwest corner of
1:09:01
the building. He walked slowly
1:09:04
and carefully along the thin
1:09:06
iron ledge that held his
1:09:08
weight. The street yawned beneath
1:09:10
him. Thirteen construction floors down.
1:09:13
And then, a dark figure,
1:09:15
baw. and indescribable sprang from
1:09:17
a dim niche and shot
1:09:19
towards Felix Darnell. He had
1:09:22
one awful second to see
1:09:24
the two eyes burning in
1:09:26
the cat's head, the same
1:09:28
cat that he had kicked
1:09:31
only an hour before. The
1:09:33
feline body raced between his
1:09:35
legs on the catwalk, and
1:09:37
with a horrible scream he
1:09:40
tried to balance himself for
1:09:42
survival. His hands clawed at
1:09:44
the air, but put his
1:09:46
weight. thrown to one side
1:09:49
by the cat's movement, hung
1:09:51
into space for a brief
1:09:53
instant, before he fell, all
1:09:55
the way to the street,
1:09:58
13 floors below. He
1:10:00
landed on a steel beam
1:10:02
waiting to be hauled up
1:10:04
and what it did to
1:10:07
him was something that would
1:10:09
make even a cat turn
1:10:11
away in disgust. Interesting tale
1:10:13
of revenge isn't it? Phoenix
1:10:16
Darnell and his black cat,
1:10:18
who of course it, might
1:10:20
have been just a
1:10:22
coincidence, but there, look, we
1:10:24
can find out for ourselves.
1:10:27
A black... The cat just
1:10:29
crossed your path. See him,
1:10:32
girl? Do you mind if
1:10:34
I stay with you, my
1:10:36
friend? I'd like to see
1:10:38
for myself just what
1:10:41
happens to you. If
1:11:01
you please, wow. We
1:11:03
are shy on me.
1:11:06
If you don't, please.
1:11:08
Now we're looking over
1:11:11
a new damry side.
1:11:13
If we like we
1:11:16
stay for me, be
1:11:18
quite a while. That
1:11:33
thing swimming round and
1:11:36
round, yes. Maybe we
1:11:38
could reach in and make
1:11:40
it round. If we
1:11:43
sneak enough upon it
1:11:45
carefully. There will be a
1:11:47
head for you, a tail
1:11:50
for me. Oh,
1:12:16
a baby cry.
1:12:19
Will we finding
1:12:22
baby? There are
1:12:25
milk nearby. If
1:12:28
we look in
1:12:31
baby buggy, that
1:12:33
could be. Plenty
1:12:36
milk for you.
1:12:39
And I saw
1:12:42
some for me.
1:12:46
Blessable heavens! My
1:12:49
godlings! My precious
1:12:51
pets! Oh, oh,
1:12:53
that wicked animal! Good
1:12:56
talking, my poor innocent
1:12:58
little angels! Yeah.
1:16:12
Oh Mr. Jones had he had troubles
1:16:14
of his own. He had a yellow
1:16:16
cat that would not leave his home.
1:16:19
He tried and he tried to give
1:16:21
the cat away, gave it to a
1:16:23
man going far far away. We
1:16:49
told him, boy, to take it up
1:16:52
the river in a boat, he died,
1:16:54
a rope around his neck, and off
1:16:56
the white eye, and they had to
1:16:58
drag the river, because we did the
1:17:00
war. And the cat came back the
1:17:03
very next day. The cat came back.
1:17:05
They thought he was a goner. The
1:17:07
cat came back. We just won. She's
1:17:22
a cat on site, loaded up a
1:17:24
shotgun, with nails and out of mine.
1:17:27
And he waited, and he waited, but
1:17:29
the cats are coming around, and 97
1:17:31
pieces of a man, is all they
1:17:33
found. And
1:18:47
that he jumped the rail and nobody
1:18:49
was left behind to tell the gruesome
1:18:51
tale. The cat came back. The
1:19:19
bomb in the very same
1:19:21
way! Russia went, England went.
1:20:16
I'm
1:20:20
working
1:20:24
on
1:20:28
a
1:20:32
hundred
1:20:35
and
1:20:39
two.
1:23:16
My cat woke me up this morning
1:23:18
doing that. It's not a good
1:23:20
sign, but he's okay. Anyway, what
1:23:22
did we start out with? Garrison
1:23:24
Keeler with the Prairie Home companion
1:23:26
folks, the in and out song,
1:23:28
very popular in my house. Out
1:23:30
the flap, that was Kimberly Roo.
1:23:32
Kimberly Roo was one of the
1:23:34
founders, I believe, the founders of
1:23:36
Katrina in the waves, along with,
1:23:38
I guess, Katrina, right? Kimberly Roo,
1:23:40
that was. All right. Lucifer Sam
1:23:42
was Arthur Brown, the crazy world
1:23:44
of, the crazy world of. He's
1:23:46
still out there touring by the way
1:23:48
and he's like over 80, okay? Little
1:23:50
R.E.S.P.C.T for the man, okay?
1:23:52
The kitty cat song was
1:23:55
The Trogs. Remember the Trogs?
1:23:57
Yeah. Another one from Heywood
1:23:59
Bank. If the cat got dead,
1:24:01
he could write anything and make it
1:24:03
funny. Right? Even a dying cat.
1:24:05
Let's see, we heard from Stan
1:24:07
Davis, that was an old 78,
1:24:09
the Body in the Bag on
1:24:11
the Oakey label. Since that black
1:24:13
cat crossed my path, it was
1:24:15
Ernest Tub from 1937, also a
1:24:17
78, a little thing from Boris
1:24:19
Karloff, never kick a black cat,
1:24:22
how the suspicion came to be.
1:24:24
And then let's see, Siamese Cat
1:24:26
Song, you know that from Lady
1:24:28
of the Tramp. Let's Skin the
1:24:30
cat, was Jimmy Merchant. And then
1:24:32
the Half Moon Jug Band. I had
1:24:34
my pick of dozens of this one,
1:24:36
and that was of course the cat
1:24:38
came back. And then Bubbles himself. Kitty's
1:24:40
are so nice. It was Bubbles and
1:24:42
the, I can't remember what his band
1:24:45
was, but it wasn't the trailer Mark
1:24:47
Boys. Okay, anyway. All right, so Cat
1:24:49
Day is over for another year.
1:24:51
This is really Cat Day, by
1:24:53
the way. I want to emphasize
1:24:55
that. February 8th is Cat Day
1:24:57
every year. And it's up to
1:24:59
me, the 8th of every month
1:25:01
is cat day too. So, okay?
1:25:03
It's a good thing I don't
1:25:05
wield any power over helpless people,
1:25:07
isn't it? Coming up, speaking of
1:25:10
power over helpless people, I have
1:25:12
three examples of AI. I'm not
1:25:14
on an AI kick, but I
1:25:16
find there's a lot of them,
1:25:18
okay? It's just that the world's
1:25:20
crawling with it, all right? So
1:25:22
here's a couple. These are... Halfway
1:25:24
decent, all right, and they're all
1:25:26
about cats, okay? So let's hear
1:25:28
from the hissors and Tabby and
1:25:30
then also Chester Tuft, okay, and
1:25:32
I'll see you next week with
1:25:34
some more shenanigans, okay? Okay, have
1:25:36
a good one. Keep the faith. The
1:27:28
brush will use on me.
1:27:30
He holds me down, I
1:27:32
try and flee. It ain't
1:27:35
fair, man, it ain't right.
1:27:37
It makes me wanna scratch
1:27:39
and bite. I think it's
1:27:41
true, yeah, think it's mean.
1:27:43
Let me groom myself, let
1:27:46
me bring. Sitting
1:32:25
by my window on this
1:32:27
sunny summer day, Looking at
1:32:30
the sky and all the
1:32:32
things that pass my
1:32:35
way, The trees that
1:32:37
swaying gently, The grass
1:32:39
is verdant green, And
1:32:41
cool breezes coming in
1:32:44
through the open stream,
1:32:46
And I'm feeling mighty
1:32:48
thankful for the beauty
1:32:50
that I've seen. Some
1:32:59
marigoles are blooming in
1:33:02
yellow pink and white The
1:33:04
roses are enchanting there really
1:33:07
quite a sight The clouds
1:33:09
look soft and fluffy and
1:33:12
near the garden shed Pansies
1:33:14
grow icy blue with little
1:33:17
hints of red and there's
1:33:19
a rabbit on the lawn
1:33:22
that I want to tear
1:33:24
to shreds worked
1:33:34
up. I'm getting
1:33:37
really tense. I
1:33:39
want to catch
1:33:41
that rabbit. I
1:33:44
want to eat
1:33:46
that bird. Now
1:33:48
the bowl is
1:33:50
just mocking me.
1:33:53
This is so
1:33:55
absurd. Just calm
1:33:57
down Chester. How
1:34:08
lovely are the hedges, how
1:34:11
pretty are the pines? The
1:34:13
garden with its budding plants
1:34:16
all set and ordered lines,
1:34:18
a lawn chair in
1:34:20
the sunshine, the porch
1:34:22
in dappled shade, trees
1:34:24
and shrubs and flowers,
1:34:26
a vibrant cavalcade. I
1:34:29
wonder at these splendid
1:34:31
sights on which my
1:34:33
eyes have laid. Now
1:34:36
the rabbits watching me
1:34:39
with little beady eyes
1:34:46
A squirrel sitting in
1:34:48
the tree has tasty
1:34:50
meaty thighs. That birdie
1:34:53
looks delicious. The vole
1:34:55
is my pain. The
1:34:57
clouds are getting darker.
1:34:59
It's about to rain.
1:35:01
But I should be
1:35:03
out hunting on the
1:35:05
top of the food
1:35:07
chain. That Robin on
1:35:09
the bird bath. The
1:35:12
blue jay on the
1:35:14
fence. I'm getting really...
1:35:16
worked up. I'm getting
1:35:18
really tense. I wanna
1:35:20
catch that squirrel. I
1:35:22
wanna eat that bird.
1:35:24
And the vole is
1:35:26
still mocking me. This
1:35:28
is so absurd. Gossip.
1:36:00
I think
1:36:02
there's still
1:36:05
some food
1:36:07
in my bowl.
1:36:10
I'm gonna go
1:36:12
see.
