Searching for Cats and Finding the British Shorthair

Like any other kid, I used to be a pet lover - until all the pets gets killed and left me pained. As our house is near the highway, our dogs and cats didn't really capitalize on their given life spans (for cats, their nine lives); some may live a year, others barely a month. I used to wake up calling for the pet and find them squashed on the asphalt like some rug. It was horrifying; yesterday Brownie was barking and biting, and then it's DEAD.

And so, I became aloof with pets, seeing them as an object of pain and longing. I even hated them for a while.

So, what is the point of this post?

Yes, after a decade, I've decided to own a pet, a bred cat. As I'm gonna be transferring to the beautiful city of Cebu, I thought access to these pets would be easy. I was having problems with what cat to own, until a friend showed me this useful cat breed finder off animal planet’s website.

Basically, I want the cat to be less needy, a lap type, less noisy, and very cute. My query showed me 21 cat breeds, and here is my Top 6:

 

My initial reaction was, "They're so cute I can't choose!" I dug onto Animal Planet's files and reading each of the top 6's personality entries led me to the right one.

What Suzanne Collins Might Feel Seeing her Hunger Games on Screen

Watched the advanced screening of the Hunger Games last night, and it was satisfactory. While people crave over how the adaptation was executed faithfully from the novel, I was silently trying to imagine how the author Suzanne Collins felt seeing the film for the first time.

Her characters in flesh, her story in film, and her hopes reflected to the movie goers' faces. I could only imagine how proud she is of herself. Seeing your hard work in motion picture must be every author's dream. Your heart really pounds imagining your setting turned into film, your characters played by some unknown actor, and your ideas elaborated by the director.
