I don’t know, at least two look useful – I gave birth to two pochemuchkas, and l’esprit d’escalier is just a fact of life. And gigil is the raison d’etre for this thread.
I need a word for the urge to tickle tummies that are suddenly and accidentally exposed when someone stretches. Someone who isn’t a small child whom I am allowed to tickle that is.

This cat really does like being vaccuumed. My cats are terrified of the vaccuum cleaner.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE0Q904gtMI&feature=youtu.be Be warned this clip of a Golden Eagle mistaking a small child for something tasty is a bit scary. But the kid is okay, I think it was more frightened of the people running at zie to make sure zie was okay.
One of my cats can read my mind. I just have to think about vaccuuming his excess hair and he disappears (and he is otherwise very tolerant). Would be so much easier than brushing him. I wonder if its something you need to start doing when they’re kittens (like clipping their claws).
