kittens


I want a cat. Cats I should say. I really miss having an animal companion around. Someone to snuggle with while Christopher is busy reading St. Augustine or various other philosophers....Someone to play with when I'm bored.
I read that in the winter, there is an abundance of kittens in the animal shelters because of the cold, and since not all of them are adopted quick enough they are euthanized....That makes me so sad.
At work today, the same never-ending argument was rehashed by my co-workers regarding dogs vs. cats. Which is better???? It makes me sick that people expend so much energy and emotion on this argument. It was really quite annoying.
I'm a cat lover (but not a dog-hater, for the most part). So one may assume that because I prefer cats, dogs are the scum of the earth. Not necessarily. Though I would rather take in 10 cats over 1 dog, I can honestly say that I don't like to see a dog needlessly disposed of, either....
Anyway, I want some kittens. I think I'm a bit more prepared for kittens than babies....

Whenever we get a cat(s) I think we should train it to be a ferocious unmatchable mice-killer
like a navy seal cat.
I want it to develop such a distaste for mice that it becomes consumed with their eradication, knowing full well its owners will not be happy owners until mice are no more.
Maybe cats do have some value
