So our good friends from New Orleans (I still say they are from NOLA even though they've been displaced by Hurricane Katrina and live in Dallas), told us about a website that's Friendster for Cats...called, you guessed it, Catster. It's absolutely over the top. Somehow I have a feeling Ellie will be registered on it soon. Will that make me, officially, a cat "person?" I mean, I like cats. I grew up with cats. I love my current cat. But somehow I never really considered myself a "cat person." I don't own any cat figurines. I don't own any sweaters or sweatshirts with appliques of cats playing with balls of string. My cat has never appeared donning a santa hat -- or reindeer ears -- on a Christmas card. I've never attended a cat show (despite my partner's urgings this fall when one was in our area.) But I may consider registering my cat on Catster. As a joke, of course, but still...
