I had been playing with the cats all day, but got tired of that and figured we were all due for some bacchanalian extravagance, cats included. I laced their catnip with vodka, poured gin into their canned gourmet seafood, and dipped their dried food in Bordeaux. Damn, they still wouldn’t join in. They did exactly what they felt like, they were just drunk doing it!
I know what bacchanalia means, and I may have been involved in one or two, but I can't think of an alternative word. I am not surprised that cats don't make good spies. They have 34 hearing bones in their ears, but only one tunes into the human voice, recognising the word food.
Oh cats!
Cats as spies?
Bacchanalian synonym: Party, Dude! I'm laughing at CIA trying to use cats as spies. I wonder how long it took them to figure out cats use humans and not the other way around. 🎃
I have been part of the Bacchanalian fest more than once and even dressed up, once, as Bacchanalian nymph sort of speak. The grapes hanging from my ta-tas was a clear sign that wine was on the menu. Now, did the people, in the CIA, partake i a Bacchanian fest before coming up with this idea?
Heh, Good point on cats recognizing the word food. Heh. Also good analogy on bacchanalia:)
