and another thing about cats (well, any animals)....
they don't misrepresent themselves. they don't claim to be smarter than they are; they don't embellish their resumes. they don't take social standing into account when deciding who their friends are. they're not insecure about their looks. they don't give you the once-over. they don't throw money around; they don't cling to status symbols. i guess in these things they are the way i wish i could be all the time.
