I've seen this photo floating around facebook and tracked it down to www.funlol.com where I was disappointed that the photo had been captioned there too. For many reasons, but mostly because I want to wonder, just wonder. Don't direct my mind in any direction I just want to see this and think #$%^&!! I love when I see things and think @#$%^!! You stole that glorious experience from me whoever captioned this photo. I offer this comparison:

Oh my gosh!! This cat is crying. How did this come to be? We don't know for sure. We can just stare at this photo of a cat posing. Cat's will not pose for a photo unless you suck the will to live from their weird little bodies. What is this cat's name? Tell me it's Fluffy. You can name a cat with fangs and claws Snowball and it will still scratch your face. Nothing robs a cat of it's pride and feline ferocity UNTIL NOW. I'm going to print this picture and put it in my wallet to serve as a constant reminder. No matter what activity I engage in for the rest of my life it will never be weird when directly compared to this photo.
This brings to mind my lifelong love of these critters. When I was younger my cousins had a cat named Pumpkin. Pumpkin tried to eat my feet one night.
It was in the black of night.
My tiny little body in an exhausted heap after a long day.
Sprinklers, trampolines, tag, and small fires in a field.
Suddenly!
I was ripped from slumber by the sharp sting of tiny fangs piercing my big toe.
yadda yadda yadda
and from then on that cat was very afraid of my feet.
10 years after that cat and I established how we felt about each others species I took part in what has become one of my very favorite conversations ever. I give you ..... a reenactment:
ME: "Finally. What the hell were you doing? We were sitting in your driveway for 15 minutes."
COUSIN: "I was drying my hair I didn't hear you honk - what is that noise"
radio turns up
ME: "Have you eaten? I'm starving."
COUSIN: "I had cereal - did you hear that?"
radio turns up
COUSIN: (Yelling now) "What is that noise? Turn the radio down. Can't you hear that? OH MY GOD!! DO YOU HAVE MY CAT IN YOUR TRUNK?!!"
