Owning a cat is a huge step in anyone's life.

You have to change your way of thinking on many fronts.

You must choose your furniture carefully.....
A few weeks ago there was a thread and many suggestions about leather-what to do when the cat attacks it, the resignation that comes with the first visible scratches! What is a cat owner to do??

Fashion is another consideration.

A white cat lends itself to wearing light colors. something that won't clash with their fur.....Dark cats are the opposite.....long hair versus short hair.....you get the picture.


One fashion that I have carefully considered is tattoos.

Now a 'cat tattoo', scratches that scab and disappear after a few days aren't too bad.....something a little more permanent deserves a little more thought.

Piercings are a little different......

There are not readily visible, unless you decide to hang Xmas ornaments from the holes.........

There is a great deal of thought that goes into getting something pierced....unless you own a cat.......


I would never have thought about getting ANY kind of piercing until last night......But then again, Edward made the decision for me...

Ed has the habit of hanging on to my shirt when we go outside....

Just a little 'paw and claw' to make sure that dad isn't going to toss his arse to the ground.......

Well, Now I am the proud owner of a pierced nipple.

Not a flamboyant Janet Jackson kinda nipple with the fancy hardware.......Nope, just a nice little, painful, bleeding nipple.

Something about cold weather, carrying a cat that has nails and
moving about that make getting a piercing a little easier.....Maybe not easier..........More apt to happen?????

Now, I'm not looking for any kind of compassion or sorrow thrown my way......

I'm looking for a gig at the Super Bowl this year....I can't sing a lick or dance.....so maybe my 'show' will be less offensive to the masses......

And who knows.....

Maybe I'll can hang some ornaments this year until I get my big break!!!
