We grow catnip in the garden outside the home-office window. Our
cat likes to lay in front of the window, and stare wistfully at the
catnip.
But today, he saw something unexpected. The neighbor's cat was
laying in the catnip.

Telecommuting is a great concept, providing flexibility of work-hours, availability when there is a family crisis, etc. But it is difficult to be self-disciplined at home. So many other things vie for attention, including that most excellent invention of all times - the bed.

The Bronx Zoo snow leopards (Panthera uncia) have typically been awake during my visits, but the female pictured above was acting like one of my domestic cats on catnip. Unfortunately I wasn't prepared for what she was going to do so she came out as a bit of a blur, but it was impressive to see a…

Oh dear the cat looks rather perturbed at being caught. Must be a republican cat getting his/her jollies on the side. If he/she was a progressive cat it'd be going c'mon in for a roll man - have a sniff ;)

No, your cat likes to *lie* in front of the window; it might like to *lay* its paws on some catnip. Similarly, the neighbor's cat was *lying* in the catnip, but might like to *lay* its paws on some good hooch.

It means "to put" or "to place". You're just doing this to upset me, aren't you? Now I have to lay the computer down and lie down to sleep.
