Day in the Life of an Idiot

I mentioned earlier that it has become a holiday tradition to put together a jigsaw puzzle with the Jacksons when they come. This year, it was the awesomely titled, "Michael the Archangel Battles the Dragon While Almost No One Pays Attention."

But, what I neglected to tell you all was how the cats, in point of fact, DID pay attention. In fact, they seemed more keen than usual to sit on the puzzle each and every night. The first night after the Jackson's left, we came home to discover this:
