Doing what they do best

September 26, 2007

Sometimes I think “everything I need to know I learned from my cats.” We should follow their example, and do what we do best: This picture is remarkable, but obviously not because they’re sleeping. They’re very good at that part. No, what’s truly amazing is that they’re doing it together. They’re on top of my [...]

I receive the “Bad Cat” Page-a-Day calendar in my e-mail every day, and the page that showed up this morning was just so timely, I had to share it: I just had to laugh, thinking about yesterday’s events. And those cats even look like Shadow! Shadow could be the poster kitty for the “Bad Cat [...]
