Why Brush Your Teeth When You Could Be Petting the Cat?



Markus Klemelä just wanted to brush his teeth. His cat wants some lovin'. The cat, like all house cats, doesn't recognize boundaries when he wants something, so Markus could only do one thing -grab his phone to record this interlude. The cat is pretty insistent, and has a world-class purr machine. (via Digg)

Fascinating coincidence: I finally wrote a short essay on "when I brush my teeth?" and the answer is, "I look for a quiet, stress-free time, when I have a couple of minutes to, e.g., pet a cat." And the point of the essay is "Okay, now, imagine you get to the end of the day and realize you never had those couple minutes. It also means that much fatigue removes your time to pet cats, and a whole bunch of other things that make us human. Also, sometimes, you have to do the important stuff, even when it hurts."
