Earlier, I had mentioned that I wasn't so sure cats were meant to be house pets. The idea being that they might not be so ideal of a domesticated animal because they don't appear to really care if they are or not. One thing I've learned, though, is that the they do have an incredible value just for their ability to entertain you for minutes on in by not doing much of anything. As a friend pointed out, cats are perfect animals for stoners not just because they're low maintenance but because they're kind of stoney themselves.

It's all about that aura of self-possession that they have. A cat will suddenly get up, go over to another place, then lie down again as if it perfectly makes sense to get up from one spot to another. Same thing with say suddenly jumping up on top of a bookcase. They just get up from where they are and move over to another place for reasons unknown only to them. This is especially true, when like my cat, they decide to go chasing imaginary mice. Of course, chasing imaginary rice is ridiculous and often extremely silly to watch, but when a cat goes about doing it, they make it look like there is totally a mouse right there and if you don't see it, that's not their problem.

Basically, what makes a cat so entertaining is that you find yourself spending hours just trying to figure out what the hell they are doing.

And, ick--- it appears I am now turning this into a blog about my cat. My have some things changed.
