ReplyDeleteAlthough that means horrific deaths, hideous murders, ironic but terrible medical accidents and the rest.
The article about Schrodinger, the Spitalfields cat, reads like a digest of most cats' efforts to adjust themselves, not unwillingly to a safe and happy life.
ReplyDeleteAnd the article on the 'murder house' in Los Angeles surprised me by not mentioning that the house was lived in by George Arliss; I noted it only in the sales advertisement. Some collectors of tales of the unusual are not as eclectically knowledgeable as those at Strange Company.
(And the cats dancing to the playing of a bassoon is something I wouldn't mind seeing. Without the worship of the devil going on, I mean.)
