Kitty
by Emily
I stayed at my boss’s house recently for a night before moving back into campus housing. She wasn’t actually there, but I knew the person house-sitting for her so I just kept him company for a night. She has a very friendly kitty who was kind (or vain) enough to allow me to photograph her for a very long time.
We had fun, though she pulled her claws out not long after this and began to use my legs as a scratching post. She enjoyed that more than I did.
Cats are just existential critters. They just are.
Cats are just fricken amazing. But I still prefer dogs.
Personally, I wanted a squirrel monkey when I was a kid. True story. Comics had ads for them all the time. Ask anyone 40 or older. But canines are fine mammals, too. 😉
