How come everything these days involves cats? Its odd, but suddenly cat references seem all around me. For example:

1.I recently ordered a cat empire cd from Amazon. Cat empire are an Australian band who play very eclectic, upbeat music. Charlie introduced me to them – she often put their album on when I went to visit her on Wednesday before brandies disco. Its good music, and I associate it with great times. Go listen.

2.I have been buying zentai again. This time I ordered one with a cat’s ears and tail. I know its silly, but there is something about the feline aesthetic I find compelling.

3.on campus we have a one-eyed cat called Brandy, after which the bar is named. I have recently taken amusement in chasing it, especially when bored, shouting things like ‘dinner!’ of course, I do not mean to harm the thing – in fact, I’ve grown quite attached to the animal. It is fun though.

So there we have three examples of why cats are taking over my life, and probably the world too. Maybe if I disguise myself as one while listening to their music they won’t hurt me when they take over. Mind you, if cats did take over the world, brandy would chase me. I’m in trouble!
