At my photography class on Wednesday I sat next to a woman who saw me scrolling through pictures on my camera. There were photos I took at the animal rescue / clinic at which I volunteer so all images of cats. She asked me how many cats I had. I explained that not all of the cats in the photos were mine and that I had two (The Notorious B.I.G. and Addy). I then went to show her the funniest picture I took.

I am not making this up. She completely freaked out and covered her eyes saying she was scared of cats. Then she got up and moved her seat to the other side of the room. There were like 8 students in class so it was pretty noticeable. Cat hater.

I understand that cats can look creepy sometimes.

But those same cats can also be super cute.

Even Mr. Tongue has his handsome moments.

And a lot of cats are so much more scared of people than we can ever be of them. I was able to snap some good pictures of Wesley only because I poked my camera behind a shelf and luck struck.
