Why we keep domesticated cats as pets

Despite all the chaos that cats bring to our lives, I’ve figured out the real reason why we keep cats. Enjoy this Happy Friday Video.

My cat won’t allow me to do that. Our relationship is like this: http://domesticepisodes.blogsp.....-that.html

That’s why I keep supermodels around my apartment. They, too, stay because I feed them.

As a single woman living in new york – with cats, i’d LOVE to have a cat that let’s me do that! no, of COURSE i have 2 boy cats that would never put up with that. one would certainly have a heart attack (my scared 22lb cat) and the other might allow it but would stiffen up and go to his “happy place” taking all the fun out of it!
Here’s a piece about my relationship with my cats, and how having grown up with cats may have helped me better understand men!

You are so right. All of my cats have found me. My latest, well, he’s been with me for the past 12 years, wound up on my doorstep with a badly broken leg. I opened the door, he hobbled in, and he has been with me ever since. His leg has healed, and occasionally, he runs around the house at night.

That was a very, very funny video. Yet, I have a question that you may want to write about in your next blog entry. How do you balance the fun stuff of “WHY WE KEEP DOMESTICATED CATS AS PETS” with the serious stuff of “FIVE RULES TO FOLLOW IF YOU’RE GOING TO CONNECT FOURSQUARE TO TWITTER”? I blog about movie posters, collecting and pop culture as it relates to the movie industry. While it want my blog to be an enjoyable read, a blog that is just a “I’m on the blogosphere. Woo-hoo!” is a waste of time and energy. I don’t want my blog to turn into that, I want it to have information that people can use. Any advice/suggestions?
