  • Pretty interesting link Nickdanger. The cat thing reminds me that I used to hate cats. Now, I can't think why...
  • My feeling is that the folks who've been researching these things have it all wrong. It isn't about warding off evil spirits or blessing the occupants of the house, it's about breaking the ice at dinner parties. Uncomfortable pause in conversation. The host looks up from his plate and says "You know, we walled up a live cat behind the mantle piece-" "Oh, how interesting. What kind of cat?" Awkward moment passes, and sparkling, lively chatter commences. I'm thinking about maybe implementing such a technique myself.
