You know I’m all about heading out on a Friday after work for a wild and crazy night of painting the town beige. I’m all about burning the midnight oil, just as long as that burning takes place around 9 or 9:30 at the latest.

But sometimes, it’s good to stay home with the cat. Especially on a day that’s grey and lonely. As much as I wanted to be out and about and experiencing things, the constant sound of the rain on my windows confirms that I made the right call by staying in.

You can tell by the picture that my cat was also pleased with my decision. She got more lap time, and I got another quality therapy session at very affordable rates.

I like people who like animals, whether those animals are dogs or cats or gerbils or hamsters or whatever. People who like animals are automatically better people in my book because it shows they have at least a little bit of empathy.

Now go pet your dog. Or your cat. Or your chinchilla.
