oh, billy

On the topic of pandering, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

It's actually only pandering if you know that your audience loves cat pictures. It's been empirically proven that 94% of the people that read my blog love cat pictures, so I'm pandering when I post them.
However, I'd think that your audience is much more intellectual and abstract. So for you, it might not be pandering. It might be a tragic miscalculation!
The cat is cute though!
I second the cute cat comment!
Why did you decide to name a female cat Billy? Only b/c of the tea shop?
We didn't know she was female until after Billy was decided (b/c of the tea shop). In fact, Billy was very scared of us at first and it took a long time before we became indispensible.
Oh, and call it "attempted pandering." It's even more pathetic if it doesn't work
That's right. Attempted pandering is like 'attempting' to sell out.

Hey! That cat is cute! I'm sure Tim would not mind another cat - after all, how much difference can there be between having six and seven felines....
I'm all for the pandering. It's the kind of thing that keeps shallow readers like myself coming back for more. One question though - why not pander with a pic of Jimmy, given he's already blogged for you? Are you protecting him from the paparazzi?
Nancy - 6 cats! Wow. We can barely handle our furry only child. In fact, we spent about 1/2 hour yesterday trying to find little white pills on a white tile floor after she managed to open my pill box during the night. Being a cautious mama the pill box is kept in a high location but I'd obviously underestimated the effectiveness of the kitty diet she is on in allowing her to overcome gravity. Fortunately, we found them all and no charcoal breakfast or stomach pumping was required. However, either that incident or a two-week stint once caring for Jimmy makes me picture 6 cats holding DNA and I hostage in our bedroom while they watch tv, eat all the food and place long distance calls.
"makes me picture 6 cats holding (us) hostage in our bedroom while they watch tv, eat all the food and place long distance calls."
That's actually pretty accurate.
There's more about that here.
