Groundhog's Day came and went with me barely noticing. I think I saw one clip of the poor guy being thrust into the air with his long and not-so-cute teeth showing. His shadow (Or lack there of? Why do I have to relearn this every year?) was seen and now we have 6 more weeks of winter. We are all so delirious from lack of sunshine, cold feet, bulky clothes, and shuffling feet upon icy surfaces that we call upon an animal, a groundhog to be specific, to tell us about the weather. Is this something the writers of Alice in Wonderful came up with it? Ask the smoking worm when summer will come...
I have a little animal prediction going on in my apartment. Bella and Diego have become quite a feisty pair of felines. Bella is usually quite coy, submissive, and somewhat on guard with Diego. Diego usually walks around not knowing his presence effects Bella at all, but things have changed recently. Bella crouches down with large pupils and pounces on Diego. She chases him around the apartment. She corners him and does slow motion tao kwon do in his face. He returns the favor by slowly lurking around corners, rolling over when she eyes him down, and mirroring her slow movements. I absolutely love when they do this. It is hilarious to see two cats slowly going after one another. They look like two mimes mirroring one another. If I didn't have such a "vintage" digital camera, I would capture it and share it with you.
But, this leads me to my point. I like to consider their battles to be a larger representation of what is going on in the US right now - the political battle. Bella May represents Hillary Clinton and Diego, obviously, Barack Obama. Call me silly, but remember we do ask a groundhog about the weather, so it is okay that we ask my cats who will win the democratic vote. You probably want me to tell you what my cats' prediction is, right? But I can't give that up this early. They are duking it out right now and it is hard to tell who is leading the everyday battles.
Their little play fights resemble this one, with less biting and more slow motion movement:

What happens if Bella May and Diego put down the claws and join the same ticket? Oh, the drama! I can't wait to see how this unfolds.
Hey, ANYTHING can happen. We will have to wait and see! Stay tuned...
