"Attractive nuisance"

[rickvs]

That's how twfarlan described our new clock. It was a birthday gift to rachalvs from her former roomate, and I finally picked up the batteries it needed. It looks roughly like Felix the Cat, except with sequins all over it. So once I got it running on the wall, I watched its little eyes go back and forth. And I watched its plastic tail swing to and fro. And I watched my cat's attentive little head bob raptly left and right.

I've got space around it, at least a couple of cat lengths, but we shall see if it remains up, or gets hunted down one night.
