more than one way to skin a cat, and some exciting news from Canada
I was horrified to learn of this phrase until my human informed me that it refers to catfish.
Catfish has a really tough skin which is removed when it is prepared for cooking.
I think we should point this out to people who use this phrase so they do not get any ideas that it is okay to mistreat us cats.
Speaking of catfish, Duncan Rooke from Send Marsh in Woking UK hooked a monster catfish in Spain which weighed 211 lbs (85.7 kg). They took a photo and weighed the fish and then let it go back into the water. Good idea - as they were not going to eat the fish, and it had obviously lived so long to reach that size; the catfish's life was not for them to take.

In other (and very exciting) news, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin announced the appointment of the new governor general. Not only another woman, but also black (Ms Michaelle Jean is Haitian born). Hopefully she will follow in the footsteps of the popular, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson (also another migrant, and Hong Kong born).
This is a vast improvement to Australia's governors general. Our last one was an Anglican bishop who resigned in disgrace over allegations of cover up of child sex abuse by his clergy (our prime minister should have never asked the Queen of the UK, who lives on the other side of the world to appoint a religious person in such a role). Our current one is a retired army general (the usual conservative choice). We should either become a republic, or have an Indigenous woman as our governor general.

........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
I had a lot of lap time today. I watched Meet the Fockers with my human. The best scene was when Mr Jinx (the cat) flushed Moses (the little dog) down the toilet.
We also watched a very exciting episode of Dr Who.
Better go, I must go and keep my human warm while we watch the rest of Constantine which is based on the DC comic book Hellblazer. And it might be scarey too.
