My wife once commented that panhandlers should wear cat ears so that people will give them more money because people like cats more than people.

Having been homeless (but having never panhandled), I immediately rejected the idea as off-humor.

But then, I thought about it and said, “That’s not the worst idea. In fact, I want to see if it’s true.”

However, I have other means of testing that hypothesis.

By featuring images of cats, tagging cats, and writing terribly about cats, many people will read this because they would rather look at cats than read anything I write.

And I’m okay with that because I know how to beg. I’m a dog person.

Thanks for reading. Now rub my belly.
