An imagined conversation with my cat...
Datsa, get off my chair...
"But Ma, I'm famous now, I can hang wherever I want!"
What are you talking about, you pushy cat?
"That e-mail you just got from Mike Stanfill!"
Stanfill... where do I know that name...
"Maaaa! Remember the Infinite Cat project that I posed for back in February?"
Oh yeah, the Infinite Cat guy. Now I recall, you were #14 or something, right back when it was getting rolling. So?
"So he's now come out with a 2005 wall calendar featuring all the first 365 kitties! And I'm right there on the first page! And as Mike said, all profits are donated to Dog & Kitty City, a no-kill pet shelter in Dallas, Texas (his home town) so you can help some homeless animals with every calendar you buy!"
Okay fine, I'm sold. I'll get a whole bunch, even at Café Press prices. Now please get off my chair.
"Feed me first."
Sometimes it's an exercise in imagined futility.
