One nice and unexpected side-effect of my CRIPPLING ILLNESS is that I've been able to spend a great deal of time with my cats, Coleman and Ble. Lotta lap time. Lotta scratching behind the ears time. Lotta time cleaning up vomit – theirs and mine.

So much time, in fact, that I thought it would be nice to put together a tribute to the second and third hairiest women I've ever loved. (Thanks to Dan Cronin for his invaluable video instruction. If he'd known he was helping me with this, I'm certain he never would have returned my emails.) Click on that cat face below to dowload (6.8MB - safe for work, unless you work in a corporation owned and operated by dogs.).

DISCLAIMER: the first few seconds are messed up and crazy looking, as are the first few seconds of every movie I've ever tried to make on this computer and iMovie. Just be patient, because the remaining 1:45 are magical.
