How about a "Bell the cat" tribute.. especially lovely considering
Frist's proclivity for brutal treatment of kitties.. What a hoot if he started receiving cat collars with bells.. Cheaper than flowers, and tongue in cheek dig in TWO ways :)


Belling the cat...

BELL THE CAT

"To bell the cat" means to take an action that is risky. The phrase comes from an old story. A family of mice could get no food because of its fear of a cat. The mice decided that the best thing to do would be to tie a bell around the cat's neck. That would tell them where the cat was. All agreed that it was a splendid idea until one wise mouse stepped up and asked, "Who will bell the cat?"

1. Our two cats wear only Safe Cat!
At first they were annoyed because it was hard to ambush their sibling with the "jingle" but then they learned to appreciate the fact that it was harder to be ambushED by their sibling.
