We haven't had a good cat thread in awhile.

I liked the book. Never saw the movie.

 

Daniel,

There is lots more of the Dune story to read if you care too.
Here it all is in publication and story chronological order.
I've bolded the texts written by Frank Herbert, all others
are by Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, and Kevin J. Anderson.
Herbert died in 1986

(I've read all by Herbert and half of the others, and prefer
those by Herbert. IMHO, you have to be a get-a-life Dune
fanatic to soldier through them all.)

Correction: There has been a TV mini-series and a movie,
not 2 movies as I said earlier.

Dune - Herbert
Dune Messiah - Herbert
Children of Dune - Herbert

^ Thanks for that. Seeing your list, I realize that I've read the first two. I just now downloaded the sample of Children of Dune to my Kindle, and will buy it if it seems as good as the reviews suggest. There are a few books ahead of it, though.

Had the urge to post, even though I don't exactly like it

The reason the cat ran off from Adolph is he looked in the mirror and got frightened

The Cat's Diary Day

Day 983 of my captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. B*****ds!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

 

^ Old, but still funny! Thanks.

 

fyi...
