Co-incidentally enough,
I bought a bag of cat gravel yesterday.
:)

Not made from real cats, I hope :)

Made FOR cats,
not OF cats...

Just checking :)

D'oh! When you said you were going to the cat show, I thought to myself, "I didn't know Jon was so fond of cats." Silly me. I hadn't even thought of the book angle! And that is why you are a marketing genius and I am, however sparkly, NOT!

Take a lesson, as they say.
It might ever be tax deductible.
The trip, not the lesson.

jongibbs January 28 2013, 18:50:27 UTC

It is :)

Well, there you go.
Literally.

If you are serious about one day having a cat, one thing you can do is bring the girls to an animal shelter to meet cats and see how they interact. There are also therapy cats for autistic kids that are trained to be patient and helpful.

I've never seen a cat show but it sounds like a whole lot of fun!

Thanks, Laura, but I'm not exaggerating when I say they'll try to take the wrapper off.

Oh dear. I guess your cats are best admired from a distance then, indeed.

jongibbs January 29 2013, 09:13:14 UTC

Lol, so are my daughters :)

I have to get to a cat show one day. Did you sell any books?

jongibbs January 28 2013, 22:05:37 UTC

Yes, quite a few. I hope to do even better next year, because I'll have Barnum's Revenge too, as well as the ability to take debit cards :)

blood_of_winter January 28 2013, 22:09:52 UTC

awesome! *high fives*

I didn't realize the book angle either until you spelled it out. But it sounds like fun. I'm such a huge cat person - why have I only been to dog shows, when I don't even really like dogs?!

jongibbs January 29 2013, 09:12:26 UTC

It was a lot of fun :)
