Thing on top of another thing is so true.

My dad's dog has got the same present every year since we got her and that present is: bag of bones from the supermarket. No complaints yet.
My cat doesn't do playing so it's never come up.

My mom buys the cats presents every year, usually catnip or some new toy. Inevitably, however, the cats find the wrapping paper the most entertaining part of Christmas.

Your dog wants steak.

For ours it's the Thing on Top of Another Thing. Like if there's a shirt on the bed, it's better to lie on the shirt than anywhere else on the bed; if there's a magazine on the table, it's better to sit on top of the magazine, etc.

This would all be better than what I really have to come up with.

Yes!  Piece of paper on the floor is better than on the floor.  In a pinch, sit on top of other dog.

I noticed this with my cat and I wonder if this is like Ritz crackers* where there's a maximum good on topness. Like is a magazine on a newspaper on a shirt on the bed better than just a shirt on the bed, or is that too many layers? These are the questions that keep me up at night.



*"'Everything,' I am told, 'tastes better when it's sitting on a Ritz.' No exception is made for other Ritzes, so from this statement we can infer that any given stack of Ritz crackers tastes better than any smaller stack of Ritz crackers, and thus the tastiest stack of Ritz crackers is the tallest one that you can fit in your mouth." - Lore

My cats will also play the thing on top of another thing game. Unless of course it is cat bed put on a chair, then she will sit anywhere other than on that chair.

[Ben-San]

What the cat here likes better than being on top of a stack is inserting herself into a stack. Any pile of things she can get into the middle of is fantastic.

Keep 'em coming, folks, I'm plotting...

My cat just reminded me that the on top of something rule is best combined with the in front of something rule, making a laptop keyboard the best place to sit of all.

for future reference:

DO study for you anthropology exam
do NOT read about people eating their babies to stave off starvation during the great leap forward right before you go to sleep.

Very nice.

However, a laptop is not a very cheap gift for a cat, so it might be a challenge to make this example fit the theme.

Ball of yarn + knitting needles + pattern or knitting for dummies = gift for cat + gift for you

Lead the story with this item then seque, "for those of you who can't afford such a lavish present for your pet..."

New York City, here I come!

(after I take this exam and spend an incredibly long time in airports due to layovers and stuff.)

Hopefully I will get to the point soon where I realize "hey, the worst case scenario is that i see a lot of cool bands for free."
But right now I am feeling kind of tense about it.

Also I am foolishly meeting up with a lady who I still want to smooch on who lives there now. We will see how I can make it so that we can't even be long-distance friends anymore. I believe in myself.

[theinevitable]

yes, I meant for that to be funny.

I am pretty sure we will have a fine time talking over coffee or something, and then I will head back here and we will email once a month or so. Status Quo FTW.

Today I'm gonna... be on the brink of being hired for a job that will quadruple my salary!  The woman in HR for the company is writing a letter of recommendation for me which will be included with the info the hiring committee gets on all the applicants.  Hell yeah.
