If not for this ...




...then for what, I ask you, what is the internet for?  I have absolutely no idea what the first picture posted to the intertubes was, but I would bet that it was a cute cat picture.  Someone find this out for me, ok?

In any case, it's my cat's birthday today.  Specifically, she is turning fourteen, which is not a small number.  I have had her since before she was born - her momma, Porch (named for where she got knocked up), was a stray we took in back in 1996 - out popped one kitten.  A kitten who is now really old, with arthritis and heart problems and thyroid issues and the whole lot.  Sometimes when my mind wanders, I think about how much of my student loans from undergrad I could have paid back if I'd never gotten a cat.  But then she's just so adorable, it's hard to think that way.

In any case: now that she's 14 and totally legal to work, could one of you hire her, please?  I'm sick and tired of being the only breadwinner around here.  She's, um, homeschooled?  and ... can't lift forty pounds or more and definitely lacks opposable thumbs but is friendly, outgoing, and really good at killing mice (despite the arthritis).  Prefers to work from home, but will commute.  Any leads on this, please e-mail me.

Also: she will be getting tuna fish shaped like the number 14 on a plate later.  Just so you know.
