My sister's cat (who, though named "Winston," I insist on calling "Cat," because, let's face it, cat's don't come even if you call the correct name) has won me over.
I love dogs, but they are, if nothing else, predictable. Loving and loyal, but very predictable. I know when I come in the door, the dogs will get very excited that I have returned after being gone for months (though it was just the eight hours I was at work), and will celebrate my homecoming with much affection.
The cat, though standoffish (is that a word?!?), is simply more entertaining.
It stalks through the house, wary of the massive beasts (a Chow and a St. Bernard - yeah, our small dog is over 75 lbs!) that roam the house. It can become fascinated by a cotton ball or a string. And, every once in a while, for no apparent reason, the cat will go up to the Chow, rise up on its hind legs, and proceed to pummel the dog's nose in a very boxing-type of manner. Don't worry - it has no claws on its front paws, so it doesn't hurt the dog... a fact that bewilders the dog even more than the cat.
In fact, I've grown so fascinated by the cat that I've contemplated future cat ownership. Recently, I discovered something on the intertubes that has firmed up that decision.
What did I find? Check this out:
Yeah, that's right - Cat Armor. You can't tell me that isn't cool, 'cuz it is AWESOME!!!
Imagine have a cat decked out in a manner befitting his true nobility! Why, it would be like having your very own living Battle Cat!
It isn't only for the novelty, either. It is necessary, because I also found this:
Yep, gotta keep up with the competition, right?
I'll type at you later.

Cats in armour....as if Shrek's "Puss n' Boots" wasn't enough, as if SHREK wasn't enough! Now we need a whole Mideval quest in the mideast for the holy kitty litter and do it Spielburg style (hopefully he'll be in hollywood this weekend) on top of that. Yeah, I shouldn't be skipping class right now...It's making me too grumpy but I'm afraid I'd feel worse being the only student there with no final work to show for himself when the whole class's grade is on the line because of that since it's a group project...
Yeah I'm a dog person myself too but I only have 1 dog (a red dobie).....and........25! .......CATS!
Yeah....twenty...five!
I once had a neighbor that had 114 cats in her trailer. Her whole property smelled like kitty litter.
But she was a crazy old lady.
Not me tho....LOL
