Today, I went out on a small solitary walk along the canal by my house. It's my usual route I take to just cool down, reflect, enjoy nature, etc. without actually wasting gas and drive out somewhere. I see a lot of animals on this trail...beavers, birds of many kind, dogs, cats, toads, bullfrogs, etc. well...today, I saw a cat/kitten (looked small but it looks mature enough to be a cat...so....catten?). Ive seen many cats/kittens but this is the first one that has ever approached me. Cats are usually frightened by my presence. So this was really sweet. I began to pet it and stroke it's soft fur, pulling out the thorn thistles that was caught in it, and even picked her up to hold her. It was very tame and cute (did I just typed that word on a public blog? O.O). Well...when I had her on my lap, a cyclist zipped by and startled her. She engaged ALL of her 18 razor sharp claws in my leg. *OUCH* Luckily she didnt draw blood, but it didnt matter...my heart melted for this catten and really just tore down what I thought of cats. If she wasn't cute enough (A lot of manliness to reclaim after this post) she began to follow me on my way home! I was so tempted to take her home with me...even after experiencing her sharp claws. Then reality hit me...she probably has a home already...that might be the reason why shes so well socialized, and also Im thinking about having a new member in my house some time soon. As a result, I sped up my pace and left her behind...looking back periodically to ensure she was ok and no longer behind me. So yea...I guess cats aren't as bad as I thought...I guess it depends on the cat. But I still think dogs are cooler. :P But...hmm...I have a lot to think about in the upcoming months. :)
*Excuse me while I go try to reestablish my manliness.*
