I have a cat, Rosie, who is my muse.  Like all cats, she has absolutely no respect for us humans, especially when we’re walking downstairs with armfuls of dirty laundry.  They remember the trick we’ve played with them over and over: dropping them upside-down to watch them twist and flip and land on their feet.  Cats amaze us.  So we shouldn’t be surprised when they scoot down the stairs ahead of us and stop on the third to last step.  They just want to see if we humans can perform the same trick.  If we land on our feet, they’ll grant us peace by allowing us to gently scratch their heads and fill their bowl with kibbles.

Cats are funny.

I want a dog.
