I Am a Cat

Somewhere somehow within our flesh bodies, I believe there is always another SELF furtively living with our human souls.

When the night comes, when the shadow behind us gets longer and heavier, when we look back and unexpectedly notice a subtle move of our own shadows, maybe it is the other SELF within us trying to sneak out to get an adventure in the darkness.

I am a cat, a cat from the city of Palenque. For generations and generations, our family members have been the guardians of all the Mayan Temples on Yucatán Peninsula.

For over a thousand years, we’ve been enjoying our peaceful lives surrounded by the jungle. But one day, we saw a human being wandering into our holy ground…

It did not take long for the waves of tourists start to show up… Then, one day when I was a little kitten, with a passing whim, I followed a gypsy family and left my birthplace to roam far far away…

I am a cat.

WHAT ARE YOU?

Please ignore the following. It’s only written for certain people.

吾輩は猫である。

口角に冷ややかな笑みをほのかに浮かべ、ギラギラとしたこの世の中を目を細めて眺めているうち、一粒の涙がぽつりと落ちてゆく音がかすかに聞こえてくる。

そう、吾輩は猫である。翌年には甕に落ちてそのまま死す定めを背負いながら、その日が来るまで、ただ止め処無くこの世を彷徨う一匹の猫である。

Mike, I knew you are a dog person, by the way you talk about cats...
Well, I'm a bighearted person, I do love dogs too, oh, and World Peace! ;)
But I just think dogs generally require high maintenance and a lot of attention... I really don't feel like to get up early every morning being forced to walk a dog and to pick up its poo-poo... ewwwwww...

Wikiman, this catwoman's costume is very sexy... But I think you should save it for yourself for this year's Halloween Party... I saw your pic wearing the bikini, quite awesome! :P

maybe frank sinatra song is reflecting this phenomenon

I've Got You Under My Skin

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never gonna swing so well
So why should I try to resist
when baby will I know damn well
I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool you'll never win
Why not use your mentality
come on step up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin
Baby I've got you under my skin
under my skin
End
