The Joy of Cat Companionship

Things that make me wonder if we are nuts to have cats:

• Pairing of the words ointment and peri-vaginal area
• Olympic-worthy puking episode resulting in fun game of "Find All the Easter Eggs"
• Nightly world-championship whining sessions for more kibble
• Accidentally incurring the wrath of Phoebe
• Putting a cat on a diet (necessity of counting one's fingers on a regular basis to make sure they weren't a midnight snack)

Things that remind me why we'll never not have cats:

• Bernie (on the left)
• Phoebe (on the right)
• Phoebe's attempt to type and load disks on the computer (possibly an early attempt to learn how to shop online)
• Bernie's happiness at just sitting next to me
• Phoebe using and over-sized stuffed animal as a potential bed (the cat-kneading to make the animal into a bed is more than chuckle-worthy)
• Bernie's occasional antics, generally involving too much curiosity, something that resembles string, and a liberal amount of panic
