Q: I saw this photo from a cat show on Yahoo News and thought the feline in question looked fantastic. I think a crocheted beanie would really bring out the regal nature of my Cornish Rex too, but my girlfriend says it's mean to dress a neutered animal like a pimp. What do you say?

A: Let's see ... crocheted beanies, testicle removal, cats, and potentially listening to a girlfriend's advice ... you sure you're at the right web site? Anyhow, our cat-lovin' nizzle, forget the pimp comparison and focus on the rap mogul comparison. If crocheted beanies are good enough for a cool cat like Snoop Dogg, they be good enough for your Cornish Rex.

On bottom of Old Fashioned glass (what else?) dribble bitters on sugar cube. Muddle. Fill with ice, then with bourbon. Garnish with lemon twist. No, not a thick orange wedge, handful of cherries, or a cup of fruit salad. A simple lemon wedge.
