@KarenUhOh: That's the real reason we chop their balls off.

I once sat in on a class RR was teaching, and he was dictating a list of 50 things you need to know about being a journalist that it took him 25 years to learn but you all get it in one sitting, you spoiled twats. He only got to 7(c) by the end of the three hours.

Oh, Ron Rosenbaum. Making the job formerly known as "crazy cat lady" a little more gender-neutral with each magic blog.

Plus cats seldom humiliate you by taking your $33,000 a year off to Dartmouth to write articles in the school paper about how fucked up they get every night.

Aren't cats the kids we wish we had? No toilet training, quiet, amusing, relatively inexpensive. The best part: leave food, leave water, and leave for the weekend!

Yes, I am well acquainted with the R.R. cat-alog.

It began with his pimping of his cat Stumpy in a photo in the N.Y. Observer in order to get apartment leads. (That Stumpy really could strike a pose.)

Years later, I almost wept upon reading about The Death of Stumpy, and sent a check to the Stumpy Memorial Fund, although, given someone's incompetence, it was returned.

And no matter what he says in the Slate article, his cat and his friend's cat have nothing on my cat.

So I guess I'm just the kind of ailurophilic, over-educated, intellectually pretentious reader that is his bread-and-butter.

Dammit!

Thank goodness the Kreepie Kats' steady diet of prescription pain-killers, poppers and sugar substitutes hasn't yet been adulterated by the pet food industry.

No, No. Kool-Whip shan't be shot.
