Random Memorial for Monday 9/29/14

Gone but not forgotten:  the time before cats evolved to have opposable thumbs.

True story (?!), as captured and featured in an advertisement for Cravendale Milk in the UK.  It may be a few years old, but it only just came to my attention earlier today.  It turns out it was such a popular scientific discovery that a second feature was run shortly thereafter.  (You can see both of them in the links accompanying this post).

[By the way, I have no idea why, for two days in a row now, I've been "inspired" in some form or fashion by milk in the UK.  Seems random ... which, of course, if nothing else, fits my "shtick" ...]

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before domestic felines stateside will soon join their limey counterparts ... which means we are living in the last days before thumbed cats take over the world ... which also means that these days will one day be missed.
