meee-ow!

Cats are, by their very nature, pains in the ass.

Unlike dogs, they do not care if they please you. They do not care if you like them. And they do not care if walking across your keyboard for the umpteenth time sends the message, "ddddfffffffwwwwwwwi" to your instant message partner.

Kitten the Second, being no exception, is a pain in the ass. But a very charming one. Last night, when I got under the covers, so did Kitten the Second. Under the sheets he went and then he stuck his little paws and nose out from under the comforter and went to sleep. I stared at him for a second, said outloud to my television audience, "You have got to be kidding," put down my book and went to sleep.

Weirdo.

Good friends from Boston came in this afternoon for a visit, and after I spent an ugodly amount of money at Banana Republic this morning, I met them at Grand Central Station. After Indian food and an not-so nap in Central Park with them and the Original Big City Galpal, home I went for a nap with KII.

And now, I'm rallying for a night on the town. Supposedly, we're leaving in thirty minutes, but unless there's some bippity boppity boo shit about to happen, that doesn't seem likely.

Where are my dancing shoes?

in the drawer of the desk in your office? I remember shoes turning up there.

I'm so envious that you live in NYC. And you're right about the dog/cat thing. WTF?

Jodey and I sleep with all three dogs and both cats. It's like playing Twister.

If KII should do the "under the sheets" thing again, you definitely have to get a picture and post it. And try to sell it to Scholastic with some cheesey saying so that 5th grade girls can buy posters of it.

I'm glad you got another Kitten. Is this one any less reluctant? :) Ours is a bit of a curmudgeon. Just like me.
