Do you suppose big fluffy cats are the biggest joke in the animal kingdom? Cats are after all voracious predators with a propensity to kill smaller animals even when they are not particularly hungry. The traditional body form of cats is lithe and slim, designed for stalking. If you consider the jaguar or any of the large cats you must admit they look ready for a spot of business in the line of predation. Leave it to us to breed cats specifically for big time fluffiness. So returning to the original question, these cats that are mostly huge balls of fur aren’t they almost a caricature of all other cats? I just look at them and think that if cats magically became sentient; those fluffy cats would be a laughing stock to all other members of the family Felidae.
In other random thoughts, I was thinking about how in my blogs I have occasionally introduced literary references and song lyrics as a sort of companion ideas to the words I write. It’s a way I guess to clarify for myself what I feel. I wonder if when other people do that it isn’t a way to see if anyone would take the time to really attempt to get to know them. I guess in a lot of ways a blog is just a person reaching out to be known in a very impersonal way.
As an addendum to that thought I write for people that know me already and as such my relationships outside this virtual world give depth to my words rather than me attempting to reach out to an unknown audience. I spoke only in generalities, as I often do.

Nah, I'd say it's a toss-up between the Chihuahua and the platypus for most ridiculous animal. Well, maybe the sponge too. I mean, come on; it's practically a plant! How can you not mock it?
I told you about the time when my mt. lion ate the house cat that wandered into her cage. I think that explains how the animal kingdom views fluffy house cats.
That's hilarious. You guys made my day...
