What Have I Become?

An early night at work has me home surfing the net long before my usual bedtime. I stumbled upon the site, GatoIsland.com. Gato is Spanish for cat, everyone, and let me tell you, this is an island I'd like to be stranded on. Fun pictures of cats, galore, like this one:

I mean, come on, who wouldn't want to look at this picture or a picture of, say, a cat in a funny sweater while sitting on the beach of Gato Island eating bananas? But I digress. Yes, I know what this looks like. I know what I've become. At some point I turned into a person who likes looking at cute animal pictures on the Internet. A deer and a dog napping? Love it. A giraffe licking a squirrel?

Bookmarked.

Perhaps owning my own animal has brought this out of me. I love Napoleon despite him being kind of a jerk cat. Boy do I love that little jerk. I bought him this on the Internet:
I thought maybe my cat needed some outdoor time, since one of Napoleon's jerky-isms is his non-stop meowing at the front door when I'm trying to work during the day and thus not paying attention to him.

Phew...glad I got that off my chest. Now that my love of cute animal pictures is out there, I can get over the social stigma attached to people like me. So take your gloomy clouds elsewhere. Nothing but kittens and rainbows for me.

P.S. Mom and Dad. The wine country trip post to come. I have to find my camera battery charger so I can post with pictures.

Welcome to loving your feline! See, I wasn't that odd in high school. I still remember you making fun of my sheets with cats on them.
