Taping Bacon to a Cat.

Putting scotch tape (or cello tape) on a cat is a piece of fun from my childhood. It always makes them walk funny without doing harm. A piece of tape on a kitten’s tail will cause them to chase their tail.

As for the bacon, the guy’s previous day’s post had a to do list, which included taping bacon to the cat. http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/004456.html I believe he was trying to find out if readers got that far. They did, and expressed doubt whether he would do it, so he had to. http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/004457.html
